Deebo Samuel

Week 16 vs. Baltimore Ravens

Deebo Samuel continues to find the end zone. Against the Cardinals last week, he gained 59 yards on four catches and a carry and scored two touchdowns. He now has 11 touchdowns on the season, and a ridiculous eight in the last four games combined. Despite being on a team with a lot of offensive mouths to feed, Samuel seems to be getting consistent touches. He has at least

This week, Samuel faces a Baltimore defense that ranks seventh in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. With the current stretch he’s on and his versatility, expect the 49ers to manufacture ways to get him the ball. Despite the tough matchup, we have him ranked as an elite option once again. Expect another busy day for Samuel.

Week 14 vs. Seattle Seahawks

Deebo Samuel had a monster game against the Eagles last week, catching four balls for 116 yards and two touchdowns. He also added 22 yards and a third touchdown on the ground. Samuel has been largely inconsistent this season, but has had some explosive games and can go off in any given week as a key part of this offense.

This week, Samuel faces a Seattle defense that ranks eighth in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. Samuel put up 94 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown against the Seahawks a couple of weeks ago, and with five touchdowns over his last four games, he should be in fantasy lineups. We have him ranked as a quality WR1 option this week.

Week 12 at Seattle Seahawks

Deebo Samuel had three catches and one carry for a modest 62 yards last week in a victory over the Buccaneers. Samuel can put up big numbers, but he also has several games with single-digit fantasy points this year. He’s been much more volatile than his counterpart, Brandon Aiyuk, though it’s good to see the 49ers playing well offensively again after a few weeks of struggles. Samuel should continue to be a high-upside, but volatile option moving forward.

This week, Samuel faces a Seahawks defense that ranks 18th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. These division games can sometimes get chippy and be a bit unpredictable, but the 49ers’ offensive weapons should still get ample opportunity to shine. We have Samuel ranked as a low-end WR2 option this week as a volatile, but high-upside fantasy option.
