Deebo Samuel Sr. Week 3 Outlook - Packers at 49ers

By Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 23rd 2021, 7:21pm EDT

The WR3 in half-point PPR fantasy scoring, Samuel has dominated production in the 49ers' passing game, hauling in 15 of 20 targets for 282 yards and a touchdown. He even added two carries for eight yards in the win over the Eagles. Samuel was used as a short-area receiver last year and had an average depth of target of 2.2 yards. So far in 2021, his aDOT is 7.4 yards, which is right in line with the 7.5-yard aDOT he had as a rookie in 2019. It's unclear how the Packers plan to deploy their best cornerback, Jaire Alexander, but it's a safe bet that he'll spend at least some of his Sunday evening covering Deebo.
