Deebo Samuel A Must-Start In Week 15

Deebo Samuel A Must-Start In Week 15

11 months ago

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel has been on fire lately. He logged his highest yardage total (149) while tying season-highs in targets (9) and receptions (7) during a Week 14 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Samuel has seven touchdowns in his last five games, three receiving and four rushing. His upside this week is two-fold: Arizona's mediocre pass defense checks in with the fourth-highest zone coverage percentage in the NFL, which Samuel gashes to the tune of 3.43 yards per route run, second only to Tyreek Hill. The Cardinals are also a poor run defense, ranking third-worst in the league with 139.3 rushing yards allowed per game, which raises the dual-threat's floor as much as his ceiling. Consider Samuel a solid WR1 this Sunday, with an argument to be made for Top-3 status.
