  • 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk: Set for No. 1 role sans Samuel

    Aiyuk is expected to serve as the 49ers' No. 1 receiver for at least Sunday's game against the Rams after San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Deebo Samuel (calf) is likely to miss "a couple weeks," Ron Kroichick of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    After holding out for all of training camp and the preseason before finalizing a contract extension with the 49ers in late August, Aiyuk has had a muted role in the San Francisco passing attack though the first two weeks of the season. Though he was back to handling a normal snap share in Week 2 (88 percent), Aiyuk still finished with a modest 4-43-0 receiving line on five targets in this past Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings. Samuel ended up missing just one snap due to the calf strain he suffered with 2:18 remaining in the fourth quarter and was the busier of the two receivers on the day with an 8-110-0 line on 10 targets, but his expected absence for Week 3 and likely Week 4 should free up more opportunities for Aiyuk. Wideout Jauan Jennings and tight end George Kittle could also see upticks in targets, but coming off a 1,342-yard season and with a new four-year, $120 million contract in tow, Aiyuk projects to be the primary option in the passing game for quarterback Brock Purdy.

  • 49ers' Nick Bosa: Gets multiple sacks Sunday

    Bosa recorded five tackles (four solo), including 2.0 sacks, during Sunday's 23-17 loss at Minnesota.

    Bosa was one of a few bright spots in what ended up being a surprising loss for the reigning NFC champions. He went to the turf with an apparent injury at one point but ended up finishing the game without incident. He's back on track for his fourth straight double-digit sack season.

  • 49ers' Fred Warner: Has monster day in Minneapolis

    Warner recorded nine tackles (seven solo) including 1.0 sacks, an interception, and two forced fumbles during Sunday's 23-17 loss at Minnesota.

    Warner has a strong case as an early Defensive Player of the Year candidate after a Week 2 loss that would not have been as close as it was without his spectacular showing. One of his forced fumbles came inside the 49ers' own five-yard line late in the third quarter and kept Minnesota from extending its lead to three scores. He's an elite IDP option as long as he's healthy.

  • 49ers' Deebo Samuel: In line for multi-game absence

    San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Samuel strained his calf with just over two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss at Minnesota, and the injury will cause the wide receiver to sit out "a couple" games, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    At first glance, Samuel's snap share (86 percent) and output (10 touches for 100 yards from scrimmage) from Week 2 weren't out of the ordinary, so the timing of the health concern makes sense. Assuming Samuel is sidelined for at least Sunday's road game against the Rams, Jauan Jennings will be the top option to step up alongside starting wideout Brandon Aiyuk, with Chris Conley, Ronnie Bell and Jacob Cowing the other healthy members at the position on the 49ers' active roster.

  • 49ers' Deebo Samuel: Set to miss time

    Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Samuel suffered a calf strain and is slated to miss "a couple weeks," David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

    Samuel presumably picked up the health concern during Sunday's loss to the Vikings, a contest in which he logged a typical snap share (86 percent) while recording eight catches (on 10 targets) for 110 yards and two carries for minus-2 yards. With Samuel in line to miss game action, Jauan Jennings likely will be the primary beneficiary next to starting WR Brandon Aiyuk, but Chris Conley, Ronnie Bell and Jacob Cowing are the other options at the position on the active roster.

  • 49ers' Eric Saubert: Records two receptions Sunday

    Saubert finished with two receptions on as many targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to Minnesota.

    Saubert failed to bring in his lone target against the Jets in Week 1, officially recording his first reception with San Francisco after signing with the club this past offseason. The veteran backup saw 26 snaps on offense in the loss compared to starter George Kittle's 51. Saubert won't generate much fantasy buzz in games that Kittle is active for this season.
