Deebo Samuel Injury Update
Deebo Samuel suffered a shoulder injury during last week's win over the Green Bay Packers. The 28-year-old missed Wednesday's practice but got back on the field in a limited fashion on Thursday and was a full go on Friday. The 49ers left him off of the team's final injury report Friday.
Samuel is a big boost for an offense that has seriously struggled without him this season. While he likely is not at 100%, there is no reason to believe he will not play like a man possessed per usual to get a shot to play in the Super Bowl. While Brandon Aiyuk will be a popular option in DFS, Samuel will remain in play for many fantasy managers in tournaments this weekend.
Kadarius Toney Injury Update
Kadarius Toney suffered hip and ankle injuries back in Week 15, and he has not played since. The 24-year-old has since dropped the ankle injury tag and has been at practice all week. The Chiefs officially listed him as questionable for Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens on Friday.
Toney was practicing last week but sat out alongside Skyy Moore (knee), who is still currently on injured reserve. Even if active, Toney will be tough to trust for fantasy purposes with his drop issues and struggles with consistency during the regular season. The only reliable Chiefs pass catchers for fantasy managers this weekend will be Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce.
Skyy Moore Injury Update
Skyy Moore was placed on injured reserve back in Week 15 with a knee injury. The 23-year-old has been practicing in a limited fashion for the past two weeks but has yet to be activated off of injured reserve. The Chiefs officially ruled Moore out for Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens on Friday.
Kadarius Toney (hip) missed last week as well but is questionable for Sunday's game after two weeks of limited practice participation. Moore would have played a rotational role at best if activated and would not have carried much fantasy value. The only pass catchers in Kansas City that fantasy managers should care about this weekend are Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce.
Kalif Raymond Injury Update
Kalif Raymond suffered a knee injury during the Lions' regular-season finale and has not been able to return to the field since. The 29-year-old failed to log any practice time the past two weeks. Detroit officially ruled the 29-year-old out of this Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers on Friday.
Raymond's absence for the second week in a row will not affect many of the regular names in fantasy lineups this weekend. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Josh Reynolds, and Sam LaPorta, who was left off of the final injury report, will be the top options for those playing in DFS tournaments this weekend.
Tylan Wallace Injury Update
Tylan Wallace sat out of last week's win over the Houston Texans due to a knee injury. The 24-year-old started the week as a non-participant in practice, but was able to get back on the field in a limited fashion the final two days. The Ravens have listed their depth receiver as questionable for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Wallace recorded two targets this past regular season and played primarily on special teams. His return would be a boost for the Ravens' depth and little else. Zay Flowers, Odell Beckham Jr., Rashod Bateman, Nelson Agholor, and Mark Andrews will all be in play for those playing DFS this weekend.
