Outlook Deebo Samuel Sr.
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 Troy Franklin
Crowded Depth Chart and Plummeting Market Cost Push Former Sleeper to Waiver Wire Status
After a promising sophomore campaign in 2025 where he caught 65 passes for 709 yards and six touchdowns, Troy Franklin faces an uphill battle in Denver's revamped offense. With Courtland Sutton and Jaylen Waddle headlining the wideouts alongside added competition in the slot, Franklin enters the year fighting for secondary targets from Bo Nix.
Market sentiment has cratered over the summer. Franklin's ADP collapsed from the 180s in late July all the way to pick 333 by September, accompanied by his roster rate tumbling down to 3%. Fantasy drafters have steadily faded him as his path to consistent volume narrowed.
Our projections forecast 40 catches for 450 yards and five scores (97.0 fantasy points). While his plummeted price makes him practically free, he remains merely a deep-league stash who requires injuries ahead of him on the depth chart to regain meaningful standalone value.
