Declining Ownership Trends Signal a High-Risk, High-Reward Bet for the Veteran Dual-Threat

Deebo Samuel Sr. enters his eighth NFL season looking to stabilize his fantasy footprint after transitioning to Washington last year. In 2025, he logged a solid 72 receptions for 727 yards and five touchdowns across 16 games. However, his dual-threat capability took a hit as his rushing role scaled back to just 17 attempts.

Our data highlights a steady decline in fantasy manager confidence over the past month, with his ownership rate sliding down to 33% and active starting rates sitting at 15%. This suggests managers are increasingly wary of his weekly ceiling as he enters his age-30 season.

Despite the falling market sentiment, he still averaged a respectable 10.1 yards per catch last season. While he no longer profiles as a locked-in weekly starter, he remains an intriguing bench stash with flex appeal if his usage spikes.

Outlook Rome Odunze

Rome Odunze Primed for Year Three Breakout in Chicago

Entering his third NFL season, Rome Odunze is positioned as the primary outside threat for quarterback Caleb Williams. Despite a structural "new normal" in his foot following last season's injury, the talented receiver is fully healthy and ready to lead the team's wideout room.

Our projections forecast a breakout campaign with 109 targets, 60 receptions, 936 receiving yards, and 7 touchdowns. These numbers build on his promising 2025 campaign where he caught six touchdowns in just 14 games, demonstrating strong red-zone efficiency.

Draft-day managers can capitalize on his current ADP of 61.00. While his market price briefly spiked to 40 in early June, it has stabilized as a major value in 1.0 PPR leagues. We view him as a potential draft-day steal at this cost.
