STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Samuel's 15+ points in three of four games and favorable Weeks 6-7 matchups support WR3 upside.

Samuel has scored 15+ points in three of four games and is being deployed exactly as expected in Kyle Shanahan's offense. In Week 4 versus Denver, he caught five passes for 26 yards and a touchdown plus 44 rushing yards on three carries for 18 fantasy points. Shanahan uses Samuel on concepts giving him runway and space to leverage his power-striding and physical play style. Upcoming schedule features Seattle in Week 5 (tough), but Commanders and Falcons in Weeks 6-7 both rank bottom-five against opposing wide receivers. Samuel is a WR3 in 12-team leagues with arrow pointing up.
