Deebo Samuel Rest-of-Season Outlook
Out, hamstring.
Through 5 games he's WR26 at 12.1 PPR points per game, against 11.8 over 16 games last season (WR25). The role is producing the same fantasy output two years running.
Through Week 6 he ranks 59th of 108 in target volume (12.0% target share) and 96th of 108 in downfield role (3.8% air-yards share). Downfield role is the soft spot. Brock Purdy is his quarterback.
He's out, hamstring. Until he's back, his value is a bench spot at most, and Jordan Watkins takes his snaps.
The next favorable matchups are the Falcons in Week 7 (6th against WRs) and the Cowboys in Week 10 (5th against WRs).

Deebo Samuel Fantasy Outlook FAQ
What is Deebo Samuel's fantasy outlook for the rest of the 2026 season?
Deebo Samuel projects as a wR3 on the sideline for now for the rest of the 2026 season: a bench stash in 12-team PPR, 10-team PPR and half-PPR leagues. His downfield role (3.8% air-yards share, 96th of 108 WRs in 2026) holds him back. See his live rank in Redraft Command.
What is Deebo Samuel's rest-of-season fantasy ranking?
Deebo Samuel is the WR26 in PPR points per game through Week 7. That puts him in WR3 territory, a bench stash in 10-team PPR leagues.
What is Deebo Samuel's projected role going forward?
Deebo Samuel is the listed starting WR, with Jordan Watkins next on the depth chart. He is out, hamstring for now, which puts that role on hold.
Will Deebo Samuel get more targets?
Deebo Samuel's targets are holding steady: 4.5 a game over his last two games against 4.0 for the season. His share of the offense is what his fantasy value rides on.
What is Deebo Samuel's fantasy football upside?
Deebo Samuel's upside: his ceiling this season is 18.0 PPR points (Week 1, WR13) and the Falcons in Week 7 and the Cowboys in Week 10 are top-10 matchups for WRs.
What could hurt Deebo Samuel's fantasy value?
Deebo Samuel's risks: he is out, hamstring, his downfield role (3.8% air-yards share, 96th of 108 WRs in 2026) limits his scoring and the Vikings in Week 11 is a tough matchup. See his injury status and history.
How difficult is Deebo Samuel's remaining fantasy schedule?

If Samuel Misses Time
Next man up: Jordan Watkins
Jordan Watkins is next on the 49ers depth chart at wide receiver. The targets would likely spread across the offense rather than pass to one player, so he's a waiver add only if Samuel misses time.
Who else it affects
His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and Brock Purdy would lose one of his main options.
