BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR15
ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. is coming off back-to-back poor fantasy performances. The star receiver has averaged 5.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per game over the past two weeks, totaling 8.7 or fewer in both contests. He has four receptions on eight targets for 69 receiving yards and zero touchdowns over the past two weeks.
However, fantasy players should expect a bounce-back performance from Samuel in Week 6 against the Seattle Seahawks. The veteran wide receiver has dominated the NFC West division rivals in his career, totaling at least seven receptions on nine targets for 79 receiving yards in both matchups last season. Furthermore, Samuel had three total touchdowns against Seattle in 2023.

While he has struggled the past two weeks, fantasy players know that can happen in San Francisco's offense because they have so many weapons. Meanwhile, the Seahawks could be without superstar cornerback Riq Woolen on Thursday night. Don’t be surprised if Samuel has a top-five finish in Week 6.
