Deebo Samuel Fantasy Football Outlook (2020)

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Wed, Aug 26th 2020, 6:56am EDT

In case you missed it, Samuel broke his foot in June and needed to have surgery immediately. Any time a pass catcher has surgery on a foot or ankle in the same calendar year, you have to be concerned, as we've seen players continually struggle to produce. Kyle Shanahan has already come forward saying that Samuel will miss games, and that the only question is how many. This is a bit reminiscent of A.J. Green last year, where I kept telling people to take the discount as your WR3. Oddly enough, Samuel is being drafted in WR3 territory as the WR30 right now. There's no way I'll advise to make that mistake again, especially with a player who has such a limited sample size. He saw 81 targets last year. That's hardly "can't miss" material, anyway. If he falls into the double-digit rounds, he's not a bad gamble, but I wouldn't take him prior to then.
