Deebo Samuel A Low-End WR2 In Week 12

Deebo Samuel A Low-End WR2 In Week 12

12 months ago

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel will square up with the Seahawks in Seattle on Thanksgiving night. In last week's win at home against Tampa Bay, Samuel was largely quiet, save for a wide-open 40-yard reception on a busted coverage. If not for that, he would have finished with two receptions on three targets for 23 yards and minus-one yard rushing. The matchup on Thursday is neutral, as Seattle's defense ranks 16th in the NFL in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers. Fantasy managers hoping for a significant rushing contribution from Samuel -- like his 38 yards and a touchdown on the ground in Week 2 -- may have to temper expectations, as Seattle has allowed the seventh-fewest rushing yards per game. Consider Samuel near the bottom of the WR2 hierarchy this week.
