RotoWire NFL Articles on Deebo Samuel
From the article
Now drafted around WR50 in most leagues, Samuel is on track for a starting role back on the 49ers and getting best-shape-of-his-life hype from living legend Trent Williams.
STACKED’s take
Samuel's WR50 ADP undervalues his starting role and Kittle injury upside on the 49ers.
Samuel is worth a late-round exception as a WR3/flex starter for September. Drafted around WR50, he averaged 13.8 PPR points through November last year (WR16 ranking) on the Commanders, though his route volume fell 25 percent in December/January. Now back on the 49ers, he's on track for a starting role with best-shape-of-his-life hype from Trent Williams. Rookie De'Zhaun Stribling is likely to start in the slot role similar to pre-breakout Jauan Jennings. Samuel and Mike Evans should get most snaps in two-wide formations, and if TE George Kittle (Achilles) is absent or limited, the cumulative WR target share could be higher than usual; Samuel's unique skillset means Kittle or RB Christian McCaffrey injuries might matter more than Evans or Stribling injuries.
