Brandon Aiyuk leaves game with knee injury

Oct 20 · 6:28 PM EDT

49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk left Sunday’s game against the Chiefs with a potentially significant knee injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Aiyuk was carted off the field after taking a big hit to his right knee. Deebo Samuel also left the game, meaning the 49ers are now currently without Aiyuk, Samuel and Jauan Jennings. They did just activate rookie Ricky Pearsall. The hope is the injury isn’t too serious but Aiyuk is going to miss a decent amount of time at the very least.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (calf) to miss a few weeks

49ers coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters that WR Deebo Samuel has a calf strain and will miss a few weeks. Another star injury for the Niners.

Fantasy Impact:

It's a big blow to the Niners offense, which is already without Christian McCaffrey for an extended time. There was no mention on whether or not Deebo could end up on IR. Aiyuk should take over as the team's WR1, but who takes over as the WR2 is the bigger question. Kittle is likely next up after Aiyuk, which then leaves Jennings, Bell, Conley and Cowing at WR. Jennings is probably the leading candidate, but probably won't be a safe play in typical leagues. Cowing is a rookie who has stood out over the spring and summer and has been returning kicks, so it's possible he earns a bigger role with Deebo out.

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey OUT for Monday night

Sep 09 · 7:14 PM EDT

The 49ers will have wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk and left tackle Trent Williams against the Jets on Monday night, but they will not have running back Christian McCaffrey.

Jordan Mason, Patrick Taylor and Isaac Guerendo are the available backs for the Niners.

Fantasy Impact:

Definitely a shocker and likely a big blow to fantasy owners. According to the story, McCaffrey said on Friday that he had no doubt he would play and there was plenty of optimism from head coach Kyle Shanahan and General Manager John Lynch as well. McCaffrey missed most of the summer with a calf injury and is listed with an Achilles issue as well, the story said. Mason had a great camp and seemed to get a lot of attention from coaches this summer, and likely should get a bulk of the workload tonight against the Jets. Hopefully CMC owners backed themselves up during drafts by nabbing Mason. If Mason is still on your wire, he's worth picking up for any team in case CMC's issues are longer term. Taylor and Guerendo could get work for the Niners as well - if you're in a pinch losing CMC. From the Jets side, Braelon Allen and Israel Abanikanda could see touches behind Breece Hall.

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall placed on NFI list

The 49ers placed WR Ricky Pearsall on the reserve/non-football injury list after he suffered a gunshot wound in an attempted armed robbery over the weekend. Pearsall, the team's first-round pick, will miss at least the first four games.

Fantasy Impact:

The loss of Pearsall opens up the 49ers WR3 spot. However, with Aiyuk, Samuel and George Kittle, the Niners WR3 isn't always fantasy relevant. Despite that, Cowing could still be a name to keep an eye on. The rookie has generated a lot of positive press through camp this summer. However, guys like Jennings, Bell and Conley could also earn time in that WR3 role.
