BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: Deebo Samuel hasn't regained his late 2021 form, but he's still a talented stud who can score receiving and rushing touchdowns when healthy. During San Francisco's total annihilation of Jacksonville in Week 10, Samuel had 59 yards from scrimmage and ran for a touchdown, finishing as the overall WR17.
The 49ers are back to being a well-oiled machine after a shocking three-game losing streak, and are set to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11.

Last season, Samuel recorded 64 yards from scrimmage and scored a rushing touchdown as the Niners demolished Tom Brady's Bucs in Brock Purdy's first-ever NFL start.
The Bucs have one of the best run-stopping defenses in the NFL, but they have allowed the second-most passing yards in the league. Even if Samuel can't run as much against Tampa Bay, he'll certainly make his presence felt through the air. He can be a boom/bust fantasy player but can be started as a WR2 in this plus matchup.
