Deebo SamuelWRSF

Davis Mattek is backing off Deebo Samuel slightly because he's less convinced that Debo walks back into a role where he is a featured wide receiver. Mattek speculates Debo will land with either the Raiders or re-sign with the Commanders, but compares his potential career arc to DeAndre Hopkins' decline on the Ravens. However, Mattek also notes Debo scored 11.7 points per game last season, which for his current ADP is an 'absolute mega steal,' and believes he's a better pick than Cooper Cup. Mattek prefers Debo back to the Commanders rather than the Chiefs or Rams, as signing with the Chiefs would hurt Worthy and Rashee Rice.
