Samuel caught one pass for 15 yards on two targets while running for 79 yards and one touchdown on eight carries against Jacksonville on Sunday.

A substantial part of Samuel's fantasy appeal was always his ability to contribute as a runner in games where his pass-catching production might lag otherwise, and this box score is maybe the most extreme example of that in Samuel's career to this point. He was almost a zero through the air -- a byproduct of the 49ers attempting only 22 passes -- but his big rushing output made him a solid start for his fantasy investors anyway. Samuel won't stay quiet as a pass catcher long, so he should be busier in that capacity against Minnesota in Week 12.
