Fantasy Impact:

Samuel broke out a year ago, cementing himself as an elite fantasy weapon. There may be a bit of concern with how the Trey Lance iteration of the 49ers' offense will affect Samuel's stock, but it seems unlikely that he wouldn't be heavily utilized again this season. Deebo is a must-start in all formats this week now that there is confirmation he is fully healthy ahead of a very solid matchup against a suspect Bears defense.
