Deebo Samuel

With Sanders on the team, Samuel has emerged as the ideal No. 2 receiver in Kyle Shanahan's offense. Some may call him the No. 1 but Sanders is the one coordinators are most concerned with. Still, Samuel has seen seven-plus targets in four of the last six games and he's continually produced, as you'd have to go back to Week 9 to find the last time he finished with less than 13.0 PPR points. He's the WR11 since the start of Week 10. Shanahan has done a good job moving the receivers around, though Samuel's primary matchup will be with Isaiah Oliver, who has allowed a 110.7 QB Rating in his coverage this year. Receivers have hauled in 68 percent of passes while averaging a healthy 13.6 yards per reception. Knowing the Falcons allow the second-most fantasy points per target, Samuel should be in lineups as a WR3 this week who comes with upside for more.

Deebo Samuel totals 109 yards in Week 14 victory

Deebo Samuel caught 5-of-8 targets for 76 yards and also rushed two times for 33 yards in the 49ers' 48-46 Week 14 win over the Saints.

Fantasy Impact

Samuel has now totaled 100 yards and/or scored a touchdown in five straight games. The electric rookie will continue to be a high-end WR3 in a Week 15 matchup with the Falcons.
