Deebo Samuel Sr.

Deebo Samuel ranked as the WR12 overall despite playing 15 games. Notably, he scored the second-most total touchdowns (12) with his dual role as a rusher and receiver. Samuel also led all wide receivers in total red-zone touches. However, his injury history raises concerns due to his physical playing style. Additionally, there's potential for TD regression given his performance exceeded expectations in the previous season, ranking as WR26 in expected points per game (10.9). Moreover, relying on rushing production can be unpredictable year-to-year, and the emergence of Brandon Aiyuk further complicates Samuel's outlook as he enters a contract year.

Deebo Samuel is unlikely to be traded to the Bills or Patriots on Day 2 of NFL Draft. The 49ers are still receiving interest for Samuel at this time and are open to trading him.

Fantasy Impact

After not drafting a wide receiver in Round 1 of the NFL Draft, the Bills and Patriots were two teams that were linked to acquiring Deebo via the trade market. Since it is unlikely this will happen for either team, expect both the Bills and the Pats to either draft a wide receiver and/or trade for one.
