The G Man 1,016 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 3 minutes ago, CKM said: Any more updates on him? Expecting to miss a few games? 49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said WR Deebo Samuel (foot) has a chance of playing in the 49ers' Week 1 game against Arizona, though he's "not counting on it." The Niners presumed No. 1 wideout is still recovering from June foot surgery. “Deebo’s going to do anything he can to be in shape, but it’s hard to be in football shape until you can play football,” Shanahan said. “So how many practices can we get him in here before Arizona? That’s going to all go into play, so I’m hoping for Week 1. But not sure yet." Brandon Aiyuk, available in the 12th round of fantasy drafts, could enter the season as the team's No. 1 receiver.

The G Man 1,016 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed that Deebo Samuel (foot) will not practice this week. Shanahan is "hopeful" that Samuel will be ready for Week 1 but is far from committing to that being the case. Samuel will need to return to the practice field before suiting up, so it's getting more and more likely that Samuel misses some game time. Jones fractures are particularly tough for a receiver who specializes in yards after the catch, making Samuel a risky mid-round selection. Helping Samuel's case, however, is the fact that the 49ers receivers continue to drop like flies. First-round rookie Brandon Aiyuk is not practicing due to a "mild" hamstring injury that also makes him week to week and Jalen Hurd is out for the year. These injuries make George Kittle a quality second-round selection in fantasy drafts. Kendrick Bourne would likely be the de-facto No. 1 receiver if Aiyuk and Samuel are out for Week 1.

DeliciousGravy 248 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Deebo is within range for return to play from his procedure that he underwent mid-June: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1071100715603983 (note: paper from 2017) Quote Between 2004 and 2014, 25 consecutive NFL players who underwent acute Jones fracture fixation by a single surgeon were reviewed. RTP was defined as the ability to play in a single regular-season NFL game after surgery. At the time of surgery, average age for all patients was 24.0 years and BMI 31.0. Return to play (RTP) was 100% for all players and 80% were still playing at time of publication. Three patients (12.0%) refractured and required revision surgery. Time until RTP was influenced by other variables and difficult to measure because many surgeries were performed early in the offseason. All 9 players who underwent surgery between July and October, and were therefore eligible to return to play in the same season, had an average RTP of 8.7 weeks (range 5.9-13.6). We observed that these injuries were more likely to occur in the first 3 seasons of play and in wide receivers, linebackers, and tight ends. This at-risk subset of players may benefit from improved preventative measures. So of note: 1) 10 weeks is not an unreasonable timeframe for returning to practice and he probably remains on-track to play week 1 2) The re-fracture rate is reasonable for wide receivers but this is obviously difficult to predict 3) If he re-fractures it, he is 100% done for the year. These cannot be conservatively managed. Bake that into your ADP - foot should be ok for week 1, but if he inverts it again or gets it stepped on, he is in grave danger of being a washout. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

next big thing cp84 796 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 What are our expectations with Deebo this year? He is the WR1 that is the second passing target (Kittle being #1) on a run heavy offense. Highly doubt he catches more than 100 passes, and will likely see maybe around that in targets. Is a 79/875/4 stat line reasonable here? I think that is a very conservative stat line, so let’s run with it considering room for exceeding that. That’s good for 151 .5 ppr points, which would be about the WR30ish in 2019. His current ADP is 8.05 and the WR36. So, very possible he exceeds that. A solid WR3 with the upside of a WR2 imo, in round 8. Decent value. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rookie WRs have it tough in the NFL and Samuel isn’t going to miss the entire season. Those days are over. The new rules have taken the advantage NFL veteran DBs had over rookie WRs away. Also why many rookie QBs have such seamless transitions. Peyton Manning wouldn't have the learning curved he had if he were a rookie this year.

Certainly possible, but it’s not like you are spending a high pick on him. Grab him in round 9-10 if he’s there and if he hits you get viable WR to use. If he re-injures the foot and is out then it’s just another late pick that does not pan out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty much how it's going in drafts. It's what I did in mine. He was there in the 9th or 10th and the potential that he brings was greater than anyone else I was looking at on the player list 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lvsaint429 1,774 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Picked him up off waivers last night. Been sitting there for 2 weeks since someone dropped him & everyone else forgot about him. He would’ve been a 4th-5th rounder without the injury. Worth the shot, though I honestly expect re-injury by Week 4. Seems like this type of fracture needs longer than the 10-12 weeks doctors recommend because of the issues most guys have coming back from it. Hope I’m wrong 🤞 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
