Deebo Samuel Sr. Catches TD In Reunion With 49ers

Thursday, September 10, 11:30 PM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. was productive in his first game back with the team in their season opener against the Rams despite his limited role. Samuel entered the game from the bench and finished with six catches for 48 yards and one touchdown on seven targets. The versatile veteran also handled one carry for 12 rushing yards and two kickoffs for 74 return yards. Samuel ranked third in snap share among the 49ers' wide receivers behind Mike Evans and Demarcus Robinson, and likely would have finished behind De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle) had the rookie not exited the game due to an injury in the second quarter. The vague receiver roles and frequent rotations make it hard to predict how and when Samuel will be used, but if Stribling misses time, he should see greater involvement. Samuel might be a flex play in Week 2, when the 49ers face off against the Miami Dolphins.

Wan'Dale Robinson a PPR Sleeper with Large Target Share Expected

Saturday, September 5, 3:10 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson currently has an ADP of 130.8, and he's emerging as a potential sleeper in PPR leagues because of his anticipated role. Robinson is coming off a fantastic season with the Giants, catching 92 of his 140 targets for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns. He's not a major threat for otherworldly yardage or touchdown totals, but he was peppered with targets in New York, and that trend should continue in Tennessee. First of all, the Titans gave him a four-year, $78 million contract, demonstrating a financial commitment to getting him heavily involved, especially as rookie Carnell Tate adjusts to the NFL. Furthermore, Robinson's new offensive coordinator in Tennessee is Brian Daboll, who was the Giants' head coach for the first portion of last season. Assuming Daboll's Titans offense looks similar to his Giants offense, Robinson should continue to fetch a very high target share, making him a very appealing target in PPR leagues, especially at his current ADP. Robinson has top-25 receiver upside after finishing as the WR14 last year, yet he's being drafted as the WR46 this year. That's a major discrepancy and could be an opportunity for managers to get a steal in the 10th round of fantasy drafts.
