Deebo Samuel Enters Season As Solid WR2

Deebo Samuel Enters Season As Solid WR2

one year ago

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel is a quality play for fantasy managers in Week 1 at the Pittsburgh Steelers. Samuel, who had a frustrating year in 2022 due to injury, nevertheless retains the upside of his excellent 2021 season. The Steelers should have an improved and healthier defense than they did in 2022, but Samuel has the talent to make any defense look silly with chunk plays after the catch. As a WR2, his weekly floor is relatively low compared to those near him in projections because of the many talented receiving weapons at the disposal of quarterback Brock Purdy. All told, fantasy managers should put Samuel in their Week 1 lineup as a WR2 with WR1 upside.
