Deebo Samuel Sr. Week 4 Outlook - Patriots at 49ers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Fri, Sep 27th 2024, 11:05pm EDT

Samuel might be back this week. He didn't practice on Wednesday but he did manage limited practices on Thursday and Friday (calf). If he's ready to roll, he should be highly utilized this week. Samuel is the WR9 in fantasy, commanding a 29.2% target share, a 32.5% air-yard share, with 2.52 YPRR, and a 29.2% first-read share. Samuel is tied for third on the team with two red zone targets. The Patriots have featured the eighth-highest rate of two-high (50.4%). Against two high, he leads the team with a 30% TPRR, 3.0 YPRR, and a 28.6% first-read share. With Christian Gonzalez hanging with Brandon Aiyuk all day, Samuel should see Jonathan Jones (70% catch rate and 97.1 passer rating) for most of the game.
