Brandon Auk just got paid, but honestly, it has been Debo Samuel who has been putting in the work and earning his check leading the 49 Ers receiving core through two games.

But that all changes this week, Debo Samuel is likely out with a calf strain and the 49er will lean on Brandon Auk against a Rams defense that is reeling right now.

The Rams just gave up an overall wide receiver one performance to Marvin Harrison Junior who burned the Rams secondary so badly that Harrison Junior had 100 and 30 yards and two touchdowns by the end of the first quarter, Brandon Auk hasn't really looked like himself and lack of preseason training was likely a big part of that this week can be his payday party.

Give me six receptions, 100 and 40 receiving yards and a touchdown.
