Week 12 at Seattle Seahawks
Deebo Samuel had three catches and one carry for a modest 62 yards last week in a victory over the Buccaneers. Samuel can put up big numbers, but he also has several games with single-digit fantasy points this year. He’s been much more volatile than his counterpart, Brandon Aiyuk, though it’s good to see the 49ers playing well offensively again after a few weeks of struggles. Samuel should continue to be a high-upside, but volatile option moving forward.
This week, Samuel faces a Seahawks defense that ranks 18th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. These division games can sometimes get chippy and be a bit unpredictable, but the 49ers’ offensive weapons should still get ample opportunity to shine. We have Samuel ranked as a low-end WR2 option this week as a volatile, but high-upside fantasy option.
