Mohamed Sanu Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Mohamed Sanu Sr. has been activated to the 53-man roster from IR ahead of the 49ers matchup against the Los Angeles Rams set for Sunday. Sanu will likely slot back in as WR4 with Jauan Jennings remaining in the WR3 role after performing well in Sanu's absence (Sanu hasn't played in a game since November 7th). Sanu will help provide receiver depth behind Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and Jennings but doesn't figure to be DFS relevant at this time.

As expected, JaMycal Hasty and WR Mohamed Sanu have been listed out for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. Elijah Mitchell is expected to continue to lead the backfield with the recently returning Jeff Wilson serving as the 3rd down back. It is also likely that rookie Trey Sermon will be available and see a few carries. Mitchell is the running back to target on the Monday showdown slate with Wilson offering a contrarian option that could vulture a touchdown or two. With Sanu out, Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and George Kittle could dominate even more of the target share than they are accustomed to making them stronger plays.

Aiyuk and Sanu are both active for the 49ers today, and both should make their season debuts. Aiyuk is expected to step in and be a top WR for the 49ers, while Sanu's role isn't as clear. Sanu was just signed this week, which is likely to keep his snaps and role in the offense limited. The absence of George Kittle does open up more target share for everyone else in this offense.

The 49ers have announced that they've reached an agreement with Sanu on a contract to fill the currently vacated spot on their 53-man active roster that was created when placing Deebo Samuel on short-term injured reserve after he suffered a setback in his recovery from a Lisfranc injury. If Sanu is healthy, which was something that was frequently questioned while he was participating in the New England Patriots' training camp, he could assume a significant role in the wide receiver rotation with rookie Brandon Aiyuk on the mend from a hamstring injury. It's still too early to tell if Sanu will be active for the Week 2 matchup against the New York Jets, but even if he's inactive, the Niners figure to have found some depth at the receiver position for however long Samuel and Aiyuk are sidelined.

Both Edelman and Sanu are questionable for Sunday. They are considered likely to play, given that both have been questionable and played recent weeks.

Edelman did not practice, while Sanu was limited Wednesday. Edelman not practicing is unusual, but he is the type of veteran player that needs little or no practice throughout the week. Sanu is expected to play.

Both Edelman and Sanu are officially questionable but considered likely to suit up Sunday. Brady appeared on the injury report Thursday but does not carry any injury designation. He will play Sunday as usual.
