| Ellis Johnson True North Fantasy Football | It's easy to dismiss how incredible Samuel's 2021 season was considering he averaged a mere 10.8 fantasy points per game in 2022. In the last three years only four receivers have had a 300+ fantasy point season, Davante Adams, Cooper Kupp, Deebo Samuel, and Justin Jefferson. Unfortunately, his role has changed since the team brought in Christian McCaffery. Although he may not have the WR-one upside anymore, he has the athletic ability to wildly outperform his current ADP. Kyle Shannahan will find a way to get him involved, making Deebo a value in 2023. | |
| Mark Ringo Sleepers and Busts | I'm trying to figure out why Deebo's ADP is so high, and I still can't figure it out. He's two years removed from handling the RB duties. Last year I cautioned folks that it appeared his RB role was more a product of necessity due to the onslaught of injuries at RB than by design. Coach Shanahan confirmed it. The thing is, that's where Deebo separated himself from other WRs, at least as far as his fantasy prospects go. With Christian McCaffrey, Elijah Mitchell, and possibly Trey Lance healthy, that ship appears to have sailed far from San Francisco Bay. Samuel's current ADP at WR 18 is way too expensive and risky for Mark Ringo. Bust | |
| Derek Brown FantasyPros | Without his "wide back" role and with the 49ers bottling him up as a check-down specialist again, Deebo Samuel struggled to a WR28 finish in 2022. He still drew a strong share of the 49ers' passing offense with a 25.4% target share (19th), but his aDOT was 4.2 (102nd), and he only saw five deep targets (108th) and 12 red zone looks (36th). Without the rushing equity and high-leverage roles to help pad his fantasy production, Samuel dissolved into a WR3. With the quarterback situation remaining unsettled in San Francisco in 2023 and the onus remaining on running the ball, Samuel will likely disappoint if you're counting on WR2 production. | The last time we saw Calvin Ridley, he was still among the best receivers in the league. In 2021, Ridley was seventh in target share (27.4%), fourth in air yard share (40.0%), and fifth in route win rate. Ridley and Ryan just couldn't find their old chemistry, as Ryan's skills were profoundly diminished. Ridley was subjected to backup quarterback-level target quality that ranked 63rd. His catchable target rate was only 71.2% (73rd). While it's worth pondering what version of Ridley we'll see returning from hiatus, don't for a second think he was playing poorly in 2021 despite the fantasy results not being there. With Trevor Lawrence taking a huge step forward in 2022, Ridley will be a WR2 next season with WR1 upside. |
| Brandon Funston The Athletic | Health, revolving QBs, positional identity crisis were at play in 2022 - fro 2023, bet on his talent, and head coach Shanahan tweaking things to better deploy them | |
| Wolf of Roto Street Roto Street Journal | Purdy being the starter would be a boost to all pass-catchers here, Deebo included | 3/7: Officially reinstated, which minimizes the risk. Congested situation but he could easily be the Alpha here in an explosive, ascending offense Last time we saw Ridley for a full season, he was a Top-5 WR & looked like the next great young stud WR. Trevor Lawrence has looked phenomenal during the 2022 second half, and if Zay Jones / Christian Kirk can put up these kind of numbers... Ridley could go BONKERS in 2023. |
| Derek Lofland FantasyPros | Samuel was not quite the same player in 2022 as he was in 2021. He missed 4 fantasy games with injury and with a revolving door at QB, finished with 54 receptions for 612 yards, 41 rushing attempts for 228 yards, and 5 TDs. Samuel is still a very explosive receiver, but with his rushing attempts being limited with Christian McCaffrey in the backfield, Samuel is more of a WR2 in 2023 than the WR1 he was in 2021. | |
