Maybe even Deebo Samuel. I would think cuz McCaffrey and Kittle are going to get theirs regardless... in 2024, pre and post pneumonia splits... he was much, much better before.

Increased usage potential if Evans struggles

Ian Hartitz notes that Deebo Samuel could see increased usage if Mike Evans struggles, and highlights that Samuel's performance was significantly better in 2024 prior to his mid-season hospitalization for pneumonia and a subsequent heel injury. Hartitz suggests Samuel is unlikely to be tasked with the same heavy red-zone role as Mike Evans.
