Deebo Samuel Rest-of-Season Outlook
WR2 every week
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished WR25 last season at 11.8 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's WR23 at 13.3 PPR points per game, against 11.8 over 16 games last season (WR25). He's running ahead of last season's pace.
The job is secure: he's the listed starter and one of the best at his position. The main risk is health, and Jordan Watkins is next on the depth chart if he misses time.
The next favorable matchups are the Commanders in Week 6 (1st against WRs) and the Falcons in Week 7 (3rd against WRs).
