Samuel's return to 49ers in injured WR room positions him as late-round value with ADP spike.

Samuel returns to San Francisco on a one-year deal after months unsigned, entering an injured wide receiver room with Ricky Pearsall sidelined by PCL issues, Christian Kirk dealing with a calf injury, and George Kittle recovering from Achilles surgery. The source projects him as WR2 on the 49ers depth chart with 70% route share and 4% rush share, noting he will see schemed touches in an offense he spent his first six NFL seasons in under Kyle Shanahan. Samuel is now set to see one of the largest spikes in fantasy football ADP in all drafts and becomes a very viable late-round selection, particularly in best ball formats, with a path to more consistent usage due to his familiarity with the system and ability to generate touches from the backfield.
