Deebo Samuel Sr. vs. Broncos — Versatile Playmaker Primed for Flex Utility

Samuel continues to carve out a unique dual-threat role in San Francisco's offense, operating as the starting slot receiver while pitching in on gadget plays. Fresh off an unorthodox Week 3 performance where an 80-yard hook-and-ladder touchdown showcased his open-field elusiveness, he also benefits from a thinned receiving corps with Demarcus Robinson sidelined.

Facing Denver at home in a contest with decent scoring potential, fantasy managers can view Samuel as an upside flex option. We project him for 10.9 fantasy points on around five targets and 47 receiving yards. While his 47% start rate reflects understandable touch volatility, his explosive big-play ability keeps his weekly ceiling high.
