Deebo Samuel Sr. Week 14 Outlook - Bears at 49ers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 5th 2024, 1:05pm EST

Since Week 10, Samuel has been the WR75 in fantasy points per game. It's been a tough season for him. Samuel might see a few rushing attempts this week with McCaffrey and Mason out, but it's also possible that he won't. Samuel only has one rushing attempt over his last three games. This week's matchup is a good one, but it's fair to question whether Samuel can capitalize at this point of the season. Chicago has the fifth-highest singe-high rate (60.2%). Since Week 10, against single-high, Samuel has had a 23.3% target share and a 27.3% first-read share with only 1.39 YPRR and 0.068 FD/RR. Since Week 8, Chicago has ranked 15th in receiving yards per game allowed to perimeter wide receivers while also giving up the fifth-most PPR points per target.
