Deebo Samuel Fantasy

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel snagged five of seven targets for 87 yards and a touchdown in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Even with alleged less playing time this week, Samuel led the team in targets, receptions and yards, scoring on a 2-yard pass in the third quarter. The second-round rookie has emerged as the teams top wideout after two games and has seemingly solidified his floor. Even with tight end George Kittle and a skilled backfield dominating touches, Samuels playmaking abilities make him a steady WR4 in Week 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel is trending up after playing 88 percent of snaps in Week 1. The rookie played more than any wideout and is likely the most start-worthy Niners receiver in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. However, head coach Kyle Shanahan tempered expectations by confessing that Samuel may have played too much. The second-round pick is an explosive playmaker so while his usage could be dialed down, Samuel wasnt drafted to sit. With Dante Pettis (two snaps) looking to rebound and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo spreading targets indiscriminately, Samuel is still a risky WR4 despite the upside.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel caught his three targets for 17 yards in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also coughed up a fumble battling for extra yards and converted a two-point conversion. Samuel played plenty on Sunday but it didnt translate into any significant stats, as quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo recorded just 166 pass yards. All five active receivers registered at least one catch but none surpassed 39 yards. With the Niners spreading the love through the air, Samuels usage could vary on a weekly basis. Hell be a risky WR4 in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
