Outlook Deebo Samuel Sr.

Shifting Market Sentiment Creates Intriguing Discount on Veteran Playmaker

Deebo Samuel Sr. put together a productive 2025 campaign with Washington, appearing in 16 games while securing 72 receptions on 99 targets for 727 yards and five touchdowns. While his signature rushing workload decreased to just 17 carries compared to previous seasons, he demonstrated that he can still operate as a reliable passing target even as he enters his 30s.

Despite this solid production, fantasy managers are exhibiting caution this offseason. Our tracking data shows his fantasy ownership has steadily dropped from 43% down to 32% over the past month, with his starting roster rate dipping to 20%. This slipping market enthusiasm indicates that managers are increasingly wary of his age and changing role.

We believe this declining interest could transform the veteran into a sneaky late-round option. While his ceiling is no longer that of an elite option, he still possesses the versatile skillset to beat his deflated price tag if he secures a stable offensive role.

Outlook Courtland Sutton

Secure Target Share and New Offense Solidify Mid-Round Value

Courtland Sutton enters the season anchoring the Denver passing attack alongside newly acquired Jaylen Waddle. Sutton remains unconcerned with the WR1 debate, expressing excitement for the offense under Sean Payton. Operating as a primary target for quarterback Bo Nix, Sutton is primed to maintain a prominent starting role.

Coming off consecutive seasons with over 1,000 receiving yards, Sutton's consistent usage is well-established. Our models project him to log 62 receptions for 853 yards and six touchdowns on 97 targets this year. While his raw targets might drop slightly sharing with Waddle, his efficiency should remain high.

His ADP has shown notable volatility, briefly spiking to 50 in early June before settling back near 74. At this mid-round cost in PPR formats, we view him as an excellent draft-day value. He offers a highly reliable weekly floor as a stable WR3/FLEX option.
