WR Deebo Samuel, WAS (3 Viewers)

[King of the Jungle]

I'll always love Deebo. The guy is ferocious when healthy, but his play style was unlikely to lead to a long, productive career. I'm happy I hopped off the train last year. He's not someone I'd buy low on unless you're paying a late 2nd (superflex).

Love him in redraft though, as a WR4 in an ascendent offense.

IDK..seems like a fools errand. We will soon see. he's always hurt or limited.

When I owned Deebo I would always assume that he would be out a few games with a soft tissue injury. Idk about last year. He's got too much explosive upside to ignore him, and it's possible he'll be better served by being the wr2 than the main focus.

Buy in redraft and hold in dynasty until he blows up and you can sell before his three week hamstring.

Buy in redraft @ the right price. Those owners in dynasty may have to wait the whole year to know wth he's worth. That vid did owners no favors for sure. Kittle mitigated some of that loss but not all.

I was teasing when I commented on it, I forgot what a sensitive group us FFers can be. I do question his value in FF however. He needs to be used a particular way to produce, I am sure the staff knows that. I do not personally think he has the same juice he had in 21’ (that thought not stemming from the practice jog). For a guy who is not a technician I simply think that limits him. He is useful for an NFL team at this time, but I would not be counting on too much from an FF standpoint. I hope he proves me wrong as in his peak he was freaking incredible to watch.

Yes. And that way is “get him the ball and let YAC do the rest”.

Or “throw him the ball and let YAC do the rest”.

He’s not a lot different from a lot of players in that regard. If he is healthy & if he gets touches, he should produce.

I just do not see him as anything more than a WR3 at this point. Again, hope I am wrong as during his peak he was one of the more exciting players in the league.

I have him as a WR2, so we’re not that far apart. That said, on the roster I have a share. he’s my WR4, so WR3 results would be fine by me. I’m just rooting for a healthy season with some timely spike games.

I think he’s a great best ball target depending on ADP.
