Deebo Samuel Sr.

Samuel has finished as a WR2 or better in weekly fantasy scoring in four of his nine games played this season. Samuel has an 18.5% target share, 2.06 YPRR, and a 24% first-read share. He is eighth in red zone targets among wide receivers. Since Week 6, Green Bay has been 11th in two high rate (51.6%). Against two high (minimum 40 routes), in the eight games Samuel has played at least 62.7% of the snaps, he has had a 19% TPRR and 1.94 YPRR against two high. The 49ers should look to feature Samuel's dynamic run after the catch ability this week against Green Bay. The Packers have allowed the 12th-highest missed tackle rate per reception and the 14th-highest yards after the catch per reception. Among 56 qualifying receivers, Samuel ranks second in yards after the catch per reception and 15th in missed tackles forced per reception. Since Week 6, Green Bay has held perimeter wide receivers to the third-fewest receiving yards per game and the fifth-lowest PPR points per target, but Samuel's unique skillset and run-after-the-catch ability can overcome a tough matchup. With Brandon Allen at the helm this week, the 49ers could lean more on Samuel's rushing ability and easy yards after the catch ability.

Deebo Samuel Sr. caught 4-of-7 targets for 22 yards in the 49ers 20-17 loss against the Seahawks.

Fantasy Impact

It was a very quiet day for Samuel as Jauan Jennings was the clear No. 1 wide receiver for the 49ers. Samuel will be a WR2 play next week.
