De'Zhaun Stribling is expected to miss an extended period of time with an ankle injury he suffered in Week 1. Samuel only ran half of the routes in Week 1, splitting the WR2 role with Demarcus Robinson. On the plus side, Samuel tied Mike Evans at seven targets and posted a 6/48/1 receiving line.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Samuel's route share should expand with Stribling out; already efficient per route.

Samuel ran half of the routes in Week 1 while splitting the WR2 role with Demarcus Robinson, but tied Mike Evans with seven targets and posted a 6/48/1 receiving line plus a 12-yard rushing gain; with De'Zhaun Stribling expected to miss an extended period with an ankle injury, Samuel's route share should grow and he already looked good on a per-route basis, shaping up as a WR3/4.
