The reunion between San Francisco and Deebo Samuel has me eyeballing the latter later in drafts. He may not be what he once was when he finished as fantasy's WR3 in 2021, but Samuel isn't washed. Last year, he produced four WR1 weekly finishes and ended the year averaging 11.8 fantasy points per game, good for WR29. Now, he's going back to Kyle Shanahan, who figures to use his versatile receiver in the run game while also drumming up manufactured touches through the air. At WR55, there's little risk to taking a shot at Samuel, especially when WR3 output feels likely — if Shanahan uses him as he has in the past.

Samuel's WR55 cost offers WR3 upside under Shanahan's run-game and manufactured-touch scheme.

Last year he produced four WR1 weekly finishes and averaged 11.8 fantasy points per game (WR29). Now returning to Kyle Shanahan, who figures to use his versatile receiver in the run game while drumming up manufactured touches through the air.
