'Fearless' rookie Deebo Samuel stepping up for 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers offense is dealing with a litany of injuries. Fortunately for San Fran, rookie wide receiver Deebo Samuel is more than capable of stepping up to the task.

Rookie receiver Deebo Samuel has been the catalyst for the Niners' pass offense the past two weeks, going for 100-plus yards in back-to-back outings, with eight catches in each game. Sunday night against Green Bay, if Samuel surpasses the century mark once again, it would mark the first time since 1995 a 49ers player has gone for 100-plus receiving yards in three straight tilts, per NFL Research. The last man: Jerry Rice.
