Speaker believes Debo is getting really close to being a top 20 wide receiver, especially if Mike Evans is out; notes he looks really fast and beat the safety up the sideline on an 80-yard play, and continues to get backfield usage typical of his role.NegativeProjectionSep 30, 2026
Debo Samuel had an 80-yard hook-and-lateral play that did not result in a catch, highlighting the 49ers' creative offensive designs. However, with Mike Evans potentially limited or unavailable due to rib injury, Debo becomes a primary receiving option for the 49ers despite the team's depleted wide receiver room.NegativeRoleSep 29, 2026
Despite zero targets in week 4, Deebo remains in a gadget role type position. However, Kubiak stated three times before the Mike Evans injury that Deebo would have more opportunities, and Shanahan said he would have been active week one based on receiving ability. With current injuries, Shanahan indicated Deebo must step up and will have his opportunities.PositiveUsageSep 25, 2026
Debo Samuel's route rate jumped from 55% to 80% last week after Demarcus Robinson missed time, condensing the WR room. He's WR26 in usage and WR33 in expected points against Arizona. Debo has had screens, backfield usage, carries, quick outs off play action, and intermediate targets in both games. The 49ers are projected for the third-most points and Debo is a must-start layup with a healthy appearance on tape.PositiveUsageSep 18, 2026
Samuel is a strong play against the Dolphins, expected to see high volume as a first-read target and backfield option. He played 65% of dropbacks when Deshaun Dribbling was off the field and is viewed as a reliable WR3 for the next month.PositiveRoleSep 15, 2026
Deebo Samuel is the preferred 49ers wide receiver add following Deshaun Stripling's injury. Despite playing only 42% of snaps in week one, he remains a focal point, utilized in the slot and backfield. The source expects him to benefit from the current offensive situation, though his role may fluctuate as the team rotates receivers.NegativeDepth ChartAug 30, 2026
Deebo Samuel is expected to be phased out of the 49ers' offense as rookie Deshaun Stripling earns more playing time. Samuel's low guaranteed money suggests he is a fragile asset who may lose his spot in two-wide receiver sets early in the season.PositiveProjectionNo date
