Versatile Reunion Offers Late-Round Value in San Francisco

Deebo Samuel returns to San Francisco on a one-year deal, quickly reclaiming his signature versatile role. With Ricky Pearsall out for the year and Christian Kirk sidelined, Samuel steps in as a starting perimeter receiver while contributing occasional backfield carries and gadget touches.

Our projections anticipate Samuel recording 58 receptions for 625 yards and four touchdowns through the air, adding 75 yards and a score on the ground. Operating alongside Mike Evans and George Kittle, Samuel's manufactured touch equity gives him a dependable weekly floor.

Market sentiment has fluctuated; after surging toward pick 132 following his signing, his PPR ADP has settled near 174. At this deflated late-round draft cost, our models view Samuel as a solid value stash capable of outperforming expectations.

Outlook Emeka Egbuka

Poised for a Year 2 Leap as Tampa Bay's Outside Weapon

Entering his second season, Egbuka is positioned as a primary perimeter target in offensive coordinator Zac Robinson's offense, starting on the outside alongside Jalen McMillan and Chris Godwin Jr. After posting 66 catches for 970 yards and six scores on 135 targets in 2025, he steps into an elevated role in Tampa Bay's passing hierarchy.

His ADP trajectory held steady in the mid-fourth round (ADP 45.8) despite a brief late-August dip caused by a minor toe sprain. With the team optimistic about his Week 1 availability, this draft price presents a distinct value steal against our season projection of 80 receptions, 1,140 yards, and eight touchdowns (228.0 fantasy points).

Currently rostered in 100% of leagues with start rates climbing near 88%, fantasy managers can trust his expanding weekly workload. Tied to quarterback Baker Mayfield in an aggressive aerial scheme, Egbuka operates as a strong WR2 with weekly WR1 upside in full PPR leagues.
