SF WR Deebo Samuel - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Dallas Cowboys

Deebo Samuel is questionable with an illness. He left Sunday's game against the Chiefs after just four snaps and was taken to the hospital with a case of pneumonia. He did practice this week in a limited fashion so he may be a game-time decision. You may need a backup option with Samuel and the 49ers playing on Sunday night. If he can play, he's the top wide receiver now in San Francisco with Brandon Aiyuk (knee) out for the season.

SF WR Deebo Samuel - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Kansas City Chiefs

Deebo Samuel posted his second 100-yard game of the season last week against the Seahawks and he did so with just three catches, thanks to a 76-yard touchdown. He also scored his first touchdown since Week 1 in the Week 6 win. He'll look to keep his momentum going in the Super Bowl rematch this week against the Chiefs, who are in the middle of the pack with allowing 217 passing yards per game. Samuel is dealing with a wrist injury but is expected to be good to go for Sunday.

SF WR Deebo Samuel - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Seattle Seahawks

A very quiet day in Week 5 in the air for Deebo Samuel, catching just one pass and only seeing three targets in the loss to Arizona. He did see three rushing attempts as well. Samuel could be opened up a bit with the Seahawks not having Riq Wooten this week, but we’d certainly like to see more targets his way.

SF WR Deebo Samuel - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Arizona Cardinals

Deebo Samuel was likely eased back into action last week as he came back from a calf injury. He still totaled 72 yards on five touches. He should quickly get back into form and that could come this week against the Cardinals, which should be a favorable matchup against a bottom-half pass defense,

SF WR Deebo Samuel - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. New England Patriots

Deebo Samuel is questionable for Sunday, possibly missing just one game with a calf injury. If he returns, he'll face a Patriots team allowing the 6th-most passing yards per game (244.3) and is tied for 6th in EPA/pass allowed. It may be best to have Samuel in your flex, just in case he is inactive. The 49ers kickoff at 4:05, so the official word will come at about 2:35.

SF WR Deebo Samuel - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Minnesota Vikings

Deebo Samuel saw nine targets and rushed the ball eight times in Week 1 against the Jets, totaling 77 yards and a receiving touchdown. The 49ers have always liked using Samuel in the rushing game and that could continue even more going forward as Christian McCaffrey continues to miss time with calf and Achilles injuries. He gets the Vikings this week who are feeling good after a 28-6 win over the Giants but will have their work cut out for them this week against Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk. With the added rushing value, Samuel sits No. 3 on our wide receiver board for Week 2.

SF WR Deebo Samuel - 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Deebo Samuel is coming off another top-10 fantasy season after catching 60 passes for 892 yards and seven touchdowns plus rushing for five more. Samuel had three games with over 100 receiving yards. Samuel also still adds some rushing value and is always a threat in the red zone -- Samuel had 17 red-zone targets, 12 catches, and three receiving touchdowns.

Fantasy Downside

Samuel's rushing value has gone down a bit since Christian McCaffrey joined the 49ers. He was also just 42nd in the league with 89 targets -- he had seven games with 4 or fewer targets. As our John Paulsen notes, Samuel has to be incredibly efficient to keep up his WR1-type production.

2024 Bottom Line

Samuel remains one of the more versatile players in the league and continues to be very efficient in an explosive offense. Even with all the weapons around him, there's enough for Samuel to continue making a case as a fantasy WR1. Grab him in the third round of your draft.
