Erickson identifies Deebo Samuel as a screaming value at WR50, comparing his situation to Keenan Allen's return to a familiar system. While production may taper off late in the season, he is expected to be highly productive early on due to chemistry with Brock Purdy and his role in the 49ers' offense. He also gains contingent upside if Christian McCaffrey misses time.PositiveValueAug 12, 2026
The source ranks Debo Samuel at 55, five spots higher than ECR (60), noting he is a strong value at the end of drafts. Despite a perceived unimpactful 2025 season, he finished as WR25 in PPR and was within 10 points of players like Justin Jefferson and CeeDee Lamb. He is expected to return to Kyle Shanahan's offense, where his YAC ability and rushing usage provide significant upside, potentially reaching 9-10 touchdowns.PositiveValueAug 12, 2026
