| 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. | Amari Cooper finally turned into the high-volume receiver we have wanted for years as he finished as the WR17. Cooper amassed a 26.1% target share (16th), a 26.1% target per route run rate (20th), and a 38.3% air yard share (seventh). Cooper will be entering his age 29 season, so there's some concern if his production could begin to taper off. Cooper turned back the hands of time with his highest yards per route run last season since 2019. Cooper was also 12th in red zone and deep targets. As long as Deshaun Watson can return to some shade of his former self at quarterback, Cooper should be able to turn in another WR2 campaign. |
| 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 | Extremely safe WR2 bet - in his 8 seasons, has finished inside the WR Top 10 twice (inc. 2022) and only slightly outside Top 25 twice |
| Wolf of Roto Street Roto Street Journal | Purdy being the starter would be a boost to all pass-catchers here, Deebo included | |
| 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. | Cooper was joining a new team and he had to play with two quarterbacks last year. Cooper still tallied 76 receptions for 1,109 yards and 9 TDs in 16 fantasy games. Cooper should benefit from a full offseason with Deshaun Watson taking reps and he is a WR2 with upside heading into 2023. |
