2019 rookie breakout wide receiver Deebo Samuel suffered a Jones Fracture (broken foot) on June 16th and was originally expected to miss 12 to 16 weeks, but Samuel claims he "might only miss 10 weeks." Players almost always over-exaggerate their own return dates, but it's good to hear that Samuel is feeling confident on his timetable.
The reality is that even if Samuel were completely healthy, there's not a great chance that he suddenly breaks into being an upper-echelon fantasy wide receiver. It's not that he lacks the skill to be there, but the 49ers offense just does not pass the ball enough to give both Samuel and Kittle the type of volume that they'd need to be top producers at their positions. Kittle is a proven elite-level performer at tight end so his target volume isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Therefore it's Samuel who is likely to remain at the mid-level WR2 range for realistic upside.
Even if Samuel does return and is ready for Week 1, he could be dealing with an injury that limits his explosiveness, which is one of his most important assets as a player. That could significantly hamper his fantasy success this season, especially early in the year. Obviously this has driven Samuel's ADP down, but he's still going around the range of players who are much safer options.

 49ers signing WR Mohamed Sanu
Veteran wideout needed to shore up WR ranks in San Fran
By: Antonio D'Arcangelis | Wed Sep 16, 9:39 am
|  | Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) on Twitter: "49ers are signing former Patriots’ WR Mohamed Sanu, per his agent
@MikeMcCartney7" (Twitter)
FFToday's Take: With Deebo Samuel (foot) on injured reserve , the 49ers need capable WRs, and Sanu has experience with coach Kyle Shanahan. He'll slide into a significant role immediately and can be added in deep fantasy leagues. I wouldn't roll him out right away, but he's worth an add.
| Deebo Samuel out, Brandon Aiyuk questionable
49ers thin at wide receiver
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Sep 11, 4:45 pm
| | Deebo Samuel is out for Sunday’s game with a foot injury, while wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is questionable with a hamstring injury. (SI.com)
FFToday's Take: Aiyuik is going to be a gametime decision. The 49ers are woefully thin at wide receiver. The rookie receiver is difficult to trust in Week 1 even if he does play. Kendrick Bourne is worthy a look against the Cardinals as a Flex play.
| Brandon Aiyuk leaves with apparent hamstring injury
Yet another blow to 49ers receiving corps
By: Mike Krueger | Sun Aug 23, 3:40 pm
| | #49ers rookie WR Brandon Aiyuk left practice early with what appeared to be a hamstring injury. He pulled up on a deep route and grabbed back of his left leg. He’s been having a very impressive camp. (Matt Maiocco on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: With Deebo Samuel on the mend from a foot injury and Jalen Hurd (ACL), Richie James (wrist), Travis Benjamin (opt-out) all out of action the 49ers are digging deep into their depth chart. Dante Pettis is working his way into an increased role out of necessity.
| 49ers add Tavon Austin, J.J.Nelson to WR group
Deebo Samuel likely to miss the start of the season
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Aug 14, 12:32 pm
| | 49ers plan to sign veteran WRs J.J. Nelson and Tavon Austin, pending physicals, per league source. Added depth in an area in which Deebo Samuel is likely to miss the start of the season. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The 49ers are adding some depth to the wide receiver room during camp while Deebo Samuel (foot) remains sidelined. If one of these two sticks on the roster, they may find themselves on punt return duties. The fantasy value here is slim.
