Outlook Deebo Samuel Sr.
Sinking Fantasy Ownership and Changing Usage Highlight Volatile Outlook
Deebo Samuel Sr. enters his eighth NFL season with a changing fantasy profile. After transitioning to Washington in 2025, his rushing usage plummeted to just 17 attempts, though he set a career-high with 72 receptions on 99 targets. This shift from a dynamic, dual-threat weapon to a more traditional possession receiver limits his explosive weekly ceiling.
Fantasy managers are showing significant hesitation as the off-season progresses. Our tracking data shows his rostership rate has plummeted over the last month, sliding from 61% down to 39%, while his active start percentage has fallen to 24%. This downward trend highlights a growing skepticism about his role and reliability in his age-30 season.
Without a strong rushing floor, he projects as a volatile, matchup-dependent option rather than a weekly lineup staple. While his baseline target volume remains respectable, our models view him as a risky depth piece. Target him only as a bench stash or a late-round flyer rather than a reliable weekly starter.

Outlook Keenan Allen
Reunion Rumors Swirl Around Free Agent Keenan Allen as Fantasy Value Hangs in the Balance
Keenan Allen enters the 2026 offseason as an intriguing free agent after completing a 17-game season in 2025 where he caught 81 passes for 777 yards and four touchdowns. Recent reports highlight that the Chargers' front office has left the door open for a potential reunion with the veteran receiver, which would immediately boost his outlook.
Even at age 34, Allen remains a reliable possession target. He earned 122 targets last year and has historically dominated target shares, as evidenced by his 108-reception campaign in 2023. While his efficiency dipped to 9.6 yards per catch in 2025, his consistent target volume keeps him firmly on the fantasy radar.
Currently rostered in about 70% of leagues, fantasy managers are taking a wait-and-see approach, keeping his active start percentage low at 17%. If he lands in a favorable offensive environment or secures a return to Los Angeles, he projects as a steady, high-floor option in PPR formats.
