| 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 Eagles utilized DeVonta Smith in a different role in 2022 than during his rookie season, and the results were beautiful. In 2021 Smith was ninth in deep targets and sixth in aDOT among wide receivers as Philly rolled him out a field stretcher. While Smith was solid in this role, his upside as a zone-destroying intermediate-level threat was seized in 2022. Smith still finished 19th in deep targets among wideouts, but his aDOT dropped to 9.9 (65th) as he began to gobble up targets. Smith was 13th in targets (136), 14th in target share (27.0%), and 19th in target per route run rate (26.2%). He finished with 95 receptions (ninth-best), 1,196 receiving yards (eighth), and seven total touchdowns (14th) as the WR14 in fantasy. Smith was 18th in PFF receiving grade and yards per route run (minimum 50 targets, per PFF). With a consolidated target tree and an ascending quarterback talent in Philly, Smith is poised to be a solid WR2 again in 2023. |
| 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 | Enjoyed a fantastic finish to 2022, clocking in at WR2 in half-PPR from Weeks 13-18 (behind only teammate A.J. Brown) |
| 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. | Smith was stellar in 2022, finishing with 88 receptions for 1,129 yards and 7 TDs as the second receiver in the offense behind A.J. Brown. Smith should be a WR2 with upside on one of the most exciting offenses in the NFL. |
