From the article

Samuel was brought in as the replacement for Pearsall, but his role will be vastly different; I think he was brought in more as a reprieve for the injuries in the running back group than for the receiving corps. The best-case scenario for Samuel is being the No. 3 receiver on the team, behind Evans and Stribling, while there's even a chance somebody like Kirk or Robinson could out-target him.

Samuel likely No. 3 WR; role focused on reducing McCaffrey workload.

Samuel was brought in as a replacement for Pearsall but will play a vastly different role than his first stint with the 49ers; at age 30, he's likely to be the No. 3 receiver behind Evans and Stribling, with a chance Kirk or Robinson could out-target him. His primary role will be stepping into spots where McCaffrey was used out of necessity, taking wear-and-tear off the star running back rather than serving as a primary receiver.
