From the article

Samuel caught 6 of 7 targets for 48 yards and a touchdown against a Rams defense that deployed zone 78% of the time... Deebo matched Evans' 21% target share, as Kyle Shanahan wasted no time scheming him touches. He ran four WR screen routes, the most among all wideouts, as well as a flare route and four crossers.

Samuel's zone-scheme fit and 21% target share make him a PPR FLEX play against Miami's two-high looks.

Samuel projects well against Miami's zone-heavy defense (two-high looks at one of highest rates in league under new HC Jeff Hafley), leaving plenty of underneath space for targets and YAC. Week 1 evidence: 6 of 7 targets for 48 yards and TD vs. Rams' 78% zone rate, despite only 53% route rate due to De'Zhaun Stribling's injury. Samuel matched Mike Evans' 21% target share and ran four WR screens (most among all wideouts), plus flare and crossing routes. With Stribling ruled out, Samuel is a strong waiver wire add and viable PPR FLEX for Week 2.
