Deebo Samuel Sr.

Deebo Samuel caught 1-of-3 targets for 11 yards in the 49ers’ Week 5 loss to the Cardinals, adding three carries for nine additional yards.

Before suffering his calf injury in Week 2 against the Vikings, Samuel was averaging 85.7 yards from scrimmage on 14.5 opportunities per game. Since returning in Week 4, Samuel has totaled just 92 scoreless yards on 13 opportunities. The three targets he saw against the Cardinals marked a season-low for the versatile Samuel, as Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle combined for 24 of 35 team targets. Until the volume bounces back, Samuel will be hard to trust as anything more than a WR2. His next game comes in a plus matchup against the Seahawks on Thursday night.
