Deebo Samuel is likely to play a prominent role in a very good San Francisco offense for the foreseeable future. Samuel had six catches for 48 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in the 49ers' 27-7 Week 1 win over the Rams in Australia. A versatile weapon who's intimately familiar with Shanahan's offense, Samuel is a worthwhile fantasy asset.

Samuel's 48% rostered rate undervalues his WR25 pedigree and expanded role.

Deebo Samuel is rostered in only 48% of Yahoo leagues despite finishing WR25 in PPR scoring last season with 72 catches for Washington. With rookie De'Zhaun Stribling sidelined by a sprained deltoid ligament expected to miss at least a month, Samuel is likely to play a prominent role in a very good San Francisco offense. Samuel caught six passes for 48 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in Week 1 against the Rams, adding a 12-yard run and 74 yards on kickoff returns. As a versatile weapon intimately familiar with Shanahan's offense, Samuel is a worthwhile fantasy asset; Shanahan has used him as a runner with 1,143 rushing yards and 20 touchdown runs over his first six seasons with the 49ers, and Samuel might be part of Shanahan's Christian McCaffrey preservation plan.
