WR Deebo Samuel

Samuel saw more snaps than Emmanuel Sanders for the third straight week last week. Sanders has been off-and-on dealing with a rib injury that has limited his snap count and Samuel has made the most of his opportunity. In the three games since Sanders’ injury, the rookie receiver has 18 receptions for 296 yards and a touchdown, and is tied with Terry McLaurin for most receptions by a rookie this season. Samuel has slowly become Garoppolo’s favorite non-Kittle target and he’s been consistently coming through.
