I know we keep talking about Deebo Samuel's speed speed, size, and blocking ability... if you are getting fantasy points for pancakes? I don't think you are... Christian Kirk is a formidable challenge for Samuel if healthy enough.

Samuel's blocking role in 11-personnel limits his fantasy ceiling

Deebo Samuel's fantasy value is limited by his role in Kyle Shanahan's offense. While his speed, size, and blocking ability are frequently discussed, his fantasy production may be capped if the 49ers use him more in 11-personnel packages to block and play tight end—a role that doesn't generate fantasy points. Christian Kirk's presence as a reliable route runner and receiver presents meaningful competition for targets.
