Fantasy Football Outlook: Will Deebo Samuel Play Week 8?
Deebo Samuel Sr. (illness/wrist) listed questionable for Sunday
Deebo Samuel Sr. is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Cowboys.
Fantasy Impact
Samuel was limited at practice on Thursday and Friday after he was released from the hospital earlier in the week. He seems to have a chance to play. Otherwise, Ricky Pearsall and Jacob Cowing would take on a bigger role with Jauan Jennings ruled out.

Deebo Samuel Sr. (illness/wrist) officially limited Thursday
Deebo Samuel Sr. (illness/wrist) was officially a limited participant at practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Thursday was very promising for Samuel. He was able to return to practice for the 49ers, despite dealing with a wrist injury and the lingering effects of an illness that left him hospitalized earlier in the week. It remains to be seen what his availability will look like for Week 8, but he’s primed to see more work for the rest of the season now that Brandon Aiyuk (knee) is out for the remainder of the year.

What the Experts Are Saying
George Kittle (foot) and Deebo Samuel (pneumonia) didn’t practice on Wednesday. Each player has to be monitored closely all week with practice reports. They both could sit in Week 8. If reports suggest they will play their normal roles, they are both must-starts.
