STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Samuel's 17.7 Y/C average and rising snap count signal strong early-season usage and role expansion.

Through three games in 2026, Samuel has caught 9 passes for 159 yards and 2 TDs with a 17.7 yards-per-catch average (top-10 in NFL); he's seen an uptick in snaps week-by-week and is being involved in the offense as both a receiver and runner. His 80-yard hook-and-ladder TD in week 3 against Arizona showcased his elite athleticism, and he's the lone healthy member of the 49ers' receiving core, positioning him for continued volume growth.
