Deebo Samuel

49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said Monday that WR Deebo Samuel is "day to day" with a rib injury and oblique strain. He gets a well-timed Week 9 bye, and it sounds like he should be ready come Week 10. Samuel racked up 86 total yards in Sunday night's win over the Cowboys and had a 66-yard TD called back by a penalty. Between these injuries and the Week 9 bye, there could still be a buy window open on Deebo, who looks like a top-10 fantasy WR going forward.

Jennings should be third in the pecking order for the 49ers passing offense after they get back from bye, behind Deebo Samuel and George Kittle. Whether Christian McCaffrey can bump him down further remains to be seen. Jennings proved he was capable of big days with his 11/175/3 game against the Rams in Week 3, and you can never be sure that Samuel is going to stay on the field, but Jennings is probably more likely to be an ancillary target going forward. He doesn't necessarily need to be kept through a bye week crunch if your team desperately needs help.

A minor concern is made even smaller by the fact that the 49ers are entering their bye week. They won't take the field again until Week 10 against the Buccaneers, which should give Samuel more than enough time to recover from his injuries. Samuel seems to have something different troubling him every week. Hopefully he can come out of the bye at close to 100 percent health.

Speaking Monday, coach Kyle Shanahan said Samuel has been diagnosed with rib and oblique strains and is day to day, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel missed the final eight minutes of Sunday night's game vs. the Cowboys with a rib injury. HC Kyle Shanahan didn't have any update on Samuel after the game. We'll look for more information on the injury, but Samuel gets a Week 9 bye to rest up.
