Fading Fantasy Ownership Signals Caution as Dual-Threat Star Enters Age-30 Campaign
Deebo Samuel Sr. enters his seventh NFL season with a declining fantasy outlook. In 2025, he remained a viable contributor by securing 72 receptions for 727 yards and five touchdowns. Despite this solid production, his roster ownership has plummeted over the past month, dropping from 60% down to 35% as fantasy managers lose confidence in his outlook.
A primary driver of this slide is the change in his usage. His trademark rushing volume dropped significantly from 42 carries in 2024 down to just 17 last season. As he reaches 30 years old, his potential to generate game-breaking fantasy points out of the backfield is diminishing, leaving him dependent on traditional receiving volume.
With his role and team outlook carrying significant uncertainty, our models suggest treating him as a bench depth option rather than a weekly starter. He is best viewed as a volatile depth piece, and fantasy managers should only look his way if he falls deep into the middle-to-late rounds of drafts.

Outlook Emeka Egbuka
Primed for a Sophomore Breakout in the Post-Mike Evans Era
Emeka Egbuka is poised for a massive sophomore campaign as he steps into a major role in the post-Mike Evans era. Under new offensive coordinator Zac Robinson, Egbuka is set to solidify himself as the primary 'Z' receiver on the outside. This role definition, alongside Jalen McMillan and Chris Godwin Jr., gives Egbuka a clear path to consistent targets.
Coming off a rookie year with 970 yards and six scores, our models expect continued efficiency. We project Egbuka to secure 68 receptions for 979 yards and six touchdowns on 110 targets. This projected volume secures a reliable weekly floor in PPR leagues.
Egbuka's market value in PPR drafts has shifted dynamically, recently stabilizing around an ADP of 47 after briefly touching the high 20s. This current valuation represents a stellar draft-day discount, offering managers a high-upside WR2 with a locked-in role.
