Deebo Samuel out for 49ers, Mike Evans, and George Kittle see increased roles

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel has been ruled out due to a hamstring injury sustained during the ongoing game against the Seattle Seahawks. Samuel, a key target for quarterback Brock Purdy, has performed well this season with multiple double-digit fantasy points. His absence will likely increase opportunities for fellow receivers Mike Evans and tight end George Kittle. Both players have also recorded strong performances recently and are expected to play larger roles moving forward. Samuel's status will be assessed leading into Week 6 against the Washington Commanders.
