Deebo SamuelWRSF
Samuel is not the same player he once was; his yards after the catch per reception have fallen each of the last two seasons, including a career-low mark of 6.5 yards last season in Washington. Last season with the Commanders, he caught 72 passes for 727 yards and five touchdowns, but his production deteriorated significantly after the first two weeks when Jayden Daniels' injuries derailed the offense. On 181 routes with Daniels on the field, Samuel was targeted on 25% of them, averaging 0.46 fantasy points per route, though he did average a respectable 12.1 fantasy points per contest in games where Daniels played most of the snaps.
