The San Francisco 49ers are planning to place running back Jeff Wilson on IR with an ankle injury.
#49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said WR Deebo Samuel (hamstring strain) will be out this week and most likely against Green Bay also and RB Jeff Wilson Jr. (ankle) will go to injured reserve later this week.

Fantasy Impact
This is a huge bummer as Wilson was coming off his best game of the year scoring three touchdowns. The 49ers backfield now consists of Jerick McKinnon and rookie JaMycal Hasty. You should be adding both as Kyle Shanahan has proved time and again that he can make any running back look good and put up fantasy numbers in his offense.
