All Underdog Fantasy Football - Josh & Hayden insights about Deebo Samuel
PositiveUsageSep 15, 2026
Deebo Samuel is preferred over Demarcus Robinson for fantasy purposes. Despite playing only 42% of snaps and 20 of 37 dropbacks in Week 1, he produced 6 catches for 48 yards and a touchdown. His usage is versatile, involving slot and backfield alignments, and he is expected to benefit from Brock Purdy scrambling more when receivers are injured.NegativeBustAug 30, 2026
Going in round 11 (7th pick) but represents poor value as an aging veteran. He'll start in two-wide-receiver sets early but will be phased out as rookie Dean Stribbling (33rd overall pick) takes over. Samuel has only $3.8M guaranteed, is fragile, and won't be in the top 36 by week one. He'll put up decent bench points early but decline as the season progresses, making him a release candidate by mid-season.NegativeDepth ChartAug 18, 2026
Shane Sten suggests that rookie Deshun Stribbling has already surpassed Deebo Samuel in two-wide receiver sets, implying a potential shift in the 49ers' offensive hierarchy.NegativeRoleAug 12, 2026
Deebo Samuel has been utilized in a running back role due to wide receiver injuries, but the source suggests he could eventually give way to rookies as the season progresses.PositiveUsageAug 5, 2026
The source suggests Deebo Samuel could mirror a 'Keenan Allen impression' early in the season, making him a high-value play before potentially fading; he is considered a better redraft pick than a best-ball asset.PositiveValueNo date
Debo Samuel is among the unsigned veteran wide receivers in the draft market and is ranked third in terms of landing spot value after Diggs and Aiyuk.
