Deebo Samuel Fantasy

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (quadriceps) has a promising matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Week 13, if he plays. He is officially questionable for Sunday and could be a game-time decision. Samuel missed practice on Thursday but was present for part of practice on Friday. If he plays, it could be a good matchup. Miami has allowed the 11th-most passing yards and the 17th-most total yards per game. They have allowed 100-yard receiving games to five different pass-catchers, including 100 yards on two catches to Jets running back Breece Hall, showing their vulnerability on big plays. Samuel proves his fantasy worth on big plays. He's had four breakaway runs of over 15 yards. In this Week 13 matchup against a high-powered Miami offense, the Niners might try to scheme up some things for Samuel. If he plays, he is a solid start as a WR3.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel has a promising matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Week 13 if he plays. Samuel missed practice on Thursday but was present for part of practice on Friday. His status for Sunday is unclear, but if he plays, it could be a good matchup. Miami has allowed the 11th-most passing yards and the 17th-most total yards per game.

Deebo Samuel proves his fantasy worth on big plays. He's had four breakaway runs of over 15 yards, which account for 65% of his rushing yardage. He leads all receivers with 40 targets or more in yards after catch per reception the next 11 players behind him are all halfbacks and tight ends. In this Week 13 matchup against a high-powered Miami offense, the Niners might try to scheme up some things for Deebo. If he plays, he is a solid start at WR3.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (quadriceps) wasn't seen at practice on Thursday in the portion open to the media. Samuel was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday, so perhaps the Niners are just giving him a veteran's day of rest ahead of their big Week 13 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. The 26-year-old's status is up in the air, but if he does play this Sunday, he could see more work out of the backfield with running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) out six to eight weeks with another MCL sprain. Samuel hasn't been nearly as productive in fantasy in 2022 as he was last year, but he still checks in as the WR20 in half-point PPR scoring. He'll be facing a Miami defense that has been tough on opposing wideouts in terms of fantasy points in the last three games.
