WR Deebo Samuel: 32.9% rostered (ESPN)

Don’t look now, but Samuel has back to back 100-yard receiving games. With Emmanuel Sanders still banged up and George Kittle out as well, the speedy rookie has been Jimmy G’s favorite target.

Last week against Arizona, Samuel had eight catches for 134 yards. The 49ers also like to use Samuel in reverse and motion sweep plays around the outside. San Francisco travels to Green Bay next week in what should be an exciting game between the top two teams in the NFC.

Though the 49ers prefer to be a run-first offense, Samuel is beginning to show development as a big-play receiver and a potential No. 1 for San Francisco.
