Wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr., who requested a trade from the San Francisco 49ers at the end of the season, is reportedly seeing interest from the Houston Texans and Washington Commanders. (Jordan Schultz on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Both the Texans and Commanders are in need of wide receiver help. While Samuel has not been as successful in the passing game as he was earlier in his career (yards per target down 28% from his breakout 2021 season), he still averages 8.6 yards after the catch per reception over the last three seasons. With an average depth of target of 5.8 yards over that time, he provides a different style of target that Houston and Washington could use to diversify their offense, not even accounting for his rushing contributions (career-low 3.2 yards per attempt in 2024).
