Totals 89 yards plus score Samuel caught four of five targets for 60 yards and added 29 yards and a touchdown on six carries in Sunday's 31-13 win over Atlanta.

Impact Samuel re-emerged as a receiving threat after failing to surpass one reception in any game since Week 10. Fortunately for his fantasy mangers, the dual-threat receiver remained an elite fantasy asset during that span with his increased role in the rushing attack (33-247-6 rushing over last five games). The 49ers may opt to use Samuel in more of a receiving role against Tennessee this Thursday, as the Titans allow the 31st-most fantasy points to opposing wideouts while being the most stingy against opposing rushing attacks this season.

Finds end zone in OT win Samuel carried the ball eight times for 37 yards and a touchdown and caught his only target for 22 yards in Sunday's 26-23 overtime win over the Bengals.

Impact Making his return from a one-game absence due to a groin injury, Samuel saw most of his work out of the backfield with Elijah Mitchell (concussion) unavailable. That's been the story for the third-year wideout in recent weeks -- Samuel hasn't seen more than five targets in any of his last four games or caught more than one pass in any of his last three, but he's more than made up for it with 218 rushing yards and five rushing TDs over those four games. Samuel's role in Week 15 against the Falcons will depend on Mitchell's health, but he figures to be a big part of the game plan no matter how he's deployed.

Back in action Sunday Samuel (groin) is listed as active Sunday in Cincinnati.

Impact Since Samuel suffered a strained groin near the end of a Week 12 win against the Vikings, he missed one game and managed to log just one practice. Coach Kyle Shanahan told Matt Barrows of The Athletic that Samuel handled everything thrown at him Friday, but the session was half speed, and he went down as a limited participant. After Adam Schefter of ESPN reported this weekend Samuel was slated to return Sunday, he'll do just that. With top running back Elijah Mitchell (concussion/knee) sidelined, it's a decent bet Samuel will be involved out of the backfield as well as his customary role at wide receiver, which amounted to 26 touches for 305 yards from scrimmage and five TDs in three appearances before last Sunday's DNP in Seattle.

Josh Allen has almost single-handedly carried Buffalo to overtime against Tampa Bay

DECEMBER 12, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

In line to return Samuel (groin) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Bengals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Samuel missed the 49ers' Week 13 matchup against Seattle, though he'll have the chance to limit his absence to one game. He logged a limited practice Friday officially, though coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters that Samuel did everything in the session. It's unclear if Samuel will return to his full workload as both a receiver and rusher if he is active, though the absence of Elijah Mitchell (knee/concussion) should help that cause. Finally, be sure to check Samuel's official status prior to kickoff at 4:25 P.M. ET.
