WR Deebo Samuel, WAS (2 Viewers)

hard. I'd personally move him if I owned him . Although someone mentioned him as a wr4. That would be nice and maybe I'd hold hoping for one more payout.

he’s my WR4 in a win-now lineup for me in a 16-teamer.

I don’t mind looking to trade him, but I’d wait for a couple of games - they’re going to use him a lot in WAS, and his value can only go up from here.

Selling now feels like it would be at his floor value.

I think he’s washed. Will have a couple monster games but will mostly be disappointing

Lot of Niner fans I know feel the same. I think he was disgruntled, and that the 2024 49ers weren’t a very effective offense.

Without CMC, playcalling became more vanilla, and Deebo’s runs were entirely predictable. Basically if he was in the backfield he got the ball & ran into a wall.

You might be right. I’m definitely not in agreement.

I’m fine agreeing to disagree. But he doesn’t run well enough to be a wide back anymore and he’s incapable of getting of getting any separation any longer (and it was never a strong suit). He’ll probably have some nice games against zones where he can get some steam and run over a small CB or two.

I guess we’ll find out when we see how WAS deploys him and what the results are.

Or a league winner, like he was in 2021 and 2023.

Yep. I’ve had several league-mates try to buy low on him. Nope. I don’t have the depth to lose him.

What were their offers if you remember?

I sold shortly after he was moved to Washington on what I considered a lil hype bump in his value. I moved him and Evan Engram for 2027 2nd, 4th, and C. Tillman. For context I'm one year into a rebuild and still prioritizing future, so didn't want Deebo blowing up and carrying an extra WR1/2 season on my roster this year that I can't also depend on having there for 2026 and beyond. It's not bc I don't like Deebo. This league is also savvy so I probably could have gotten more in 2026 picks, but I already carry a few extras and am really not loving the early outlook of that class, esp. compared to 2027. Most of my leaguemates agree and are already valuing '27 picks at or above '26 picks.

1. 2025 2nd &Mike Williams
2. 2026 2nd & 5th

Nope and nope.

I’d rather hang onto Deebo and see what I get out of him

Hmm.. yeah, and I'd imagine those are both mid 2nds at best. Don't see any bottom of the league teams wanting to take on Deebo.

As much as his RP profile the past two seasons has been pretty dreadful; I do think Washington was practically best case scenario for him and do think there's a great chance he's at least a WR3/flex but with the upside for quite a bit more. Especially with some of the faint McClurin trade rumors. If that trade happens it would make me regret not waiting another month to trade him for sure haha.
