Draft note

by John Paulsen

Deebo Samuel finished as the fantasy WR9 but was tied with Mike Evans with the sixth-highest per-game average. He had the 21st-highest per-game average the year before. Like his teammate, Brandon Aiyuk, the primary concern with Samuel is his low usage–he was 42nd in WR targets last season–so he has to be incredibly efficient to keep up his WR1-type production. Thankfully he has a highly-efficient quarterback in Brock Purdy, and plays in a highly-efficient offense run by Kyle Shanahan. He’s a high-end WR2 this year.

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall placed on NFI list

The 49ers placed WR Ricky Pearsall on the reserve/non-football injury list after he suffered a gunshot wound in an attempted armed robbery over the weekend. Pearsall, the team's first-round pick, will miss at least the first four games.

Fantasy Impact:

The loss of Pearsall opens up the 49ers WR3 spot. However, with Aiyuk, Samuel and George Kittle, the Niners WR3 isn't always fantasy relevant. Despite that, Cowing could still be a name to keep an eye on. The rookie has generated a lot of positive press through camp this summer. However, guys like Jennings, Bell and Conley could also earn time in that WR3 role.

SF WR Deebo Samuel - 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Deebo Samuel is coming off another top-10 fantasy season after catching 60 passes for 892 yards and seven touchdowns plus rushing for five more. Samuel had three games with over 100 receiving yards. Samuel also still adds some rushing value and is always a threat in the red zone -- Samuel had 17 red-zone targets, 12 catches, and three receiving touchdowns.

Fantasy Downside

Samuel's rushing value has gone down a bit since Christian McCaffrey joined the 49ers. He was also just 42nd in the league with 89 targets -- he had seven games with 4 or fewer targets. As our John Paulsen notes, Samuel has to be incredibly efficient to keep up his WR1-type production.

2024 Bottom Line

Samuel remains one of the more versatile players in the league and continues to be very efficient in an explosive offense. Even with all the weapons around him, there's enough for Samuel to continue making a case as a fantasy WR1. Grab him in the third round of your draft.
