Deebo Samuel Sr.

49ers QB Brock Purdy said he would “want to get Deebo [Samuel] the ball every play if [he] could.”

Samuel posted on social media that he was frustrated about not getting the ball enough before deleting his post. The 28-year-old has 40 receptions for 553 yards on the season, adding 32 carries for 92 yards. He has not found his previous Pro Bowl success, scoring just two touchdowns in 2024. Purdy stood by Samuel when asked about the situation, saying, “There’s just moments throughout seasons where guys just don’t get the ball, just depending on the scheme.” Purdy continued said he will “do everything [he] can to get [Samuel] the ball.” The 49ers stand at 6-7, with injuries taking a toll amidst the playoff race. Fantasy managers can expect Samuel to remain involved, though his struggles creating yardage keep him in the WR3 mix for Week 15.
