FantasyPros Articles on Deebo Samuel
From the article
Samuel quietly had 72 catches for Washington last season and finished WR25 in PPR scoring. Now that Stribling has a sprained deltoid ligament and is expected to miss at least a month, Samuel is likely to play a prominent role in a very good San Francisco offense.
STACKED’s take
Samuel underrostered at 48% despite WR25 finish; Stribling injury opens role in elite offense.
Deebo Samuel is rostered in only 48% of Yahoo leagues despite quietly posting 72 catches for Washington last season and finishing WR25 in PPR scoring. With rookie De'Zhaun Stribling sidelined by a sprained deltoid ligament expected to miss at least a month, Samuel is likely to play a prominent role in a very good San Francisco offense. Samuel had six catches for 48 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in the 49ers' 27-7 Week 1 win over the Rams, adding a 12-yard run and a pair of kickoff returns for 74 yards. As a versatile weapon intimately familiar with Shanahan's offense, Samuel is a worthwhile fantasy asset; Shanahan has used Samuel as a runner with 1,143 rushing yards and 20 touchdown runs over his first six seasons with the 49ers, and Samuel might be part of Shanahan's Christian McCaffrey preservation plan.
