Who Should I Start? Deebo Samuel or Zay Flowers

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel was not targeted in the passing game in the team's 35-16 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Samuel (knee, ribs) was questionable coming into the game and disappointed fantasy managers who, when it was announced he would play on Sunday morning, figured he was in line for his usual hefty target share. One can only speculate at this point whether it had anything to do with the injuries, or if this was just your run-of-the-mill clunker as he took a back seat to the Christian McCaffrey show. Samuel did receive three carries but only managed six yards. He'll look to rebound in Week 5 when he faces a robust Dallas Cowboys defense at home on Sunday Night Football.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers may not have found the endzone yet this season but he now has caught 21 of his 25 targets through three games. The rookie saw another 10 targets against the Colts and hauled in eight of them for 48 yards while also getting one carry for just two yards. In PPR formats, Flowers has produced reliable fantasy stat lines since he tends to see a lot of close-range targets. The passing game still seems to be working out some kinks, so Flowers and company could improve as the season goes on. Week 4, however, will be a tougher challenge against the Browns defense.
