• Commanders' Deebo Samuel: Team-high four grabs in loss

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Samuel caught four of six targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Vikings. The four receptions led the Commanders while the six targets tied Terry McLaurin for the team lead, but the volume didn't amount to much yardage. Washington's passing attack struggled even with Jayden Daniels returning to action, but the second-year QB left the game in the third quarter after appearing to aggravate his dislocated left elbow. Regardless of whether Daniels or Marcus Mariota is under center in Week 15 against the Giants, Samuel figures to be involved in the offense -- he's seen at least five targets and caught at least three passes in nine straight appearances, compiling a 46-429-4 line on 60 targets over that stretch.

• Commanders' Deebo Samuel: WRs to Sit

  6D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Samuel had a respectable 11.1 PPR points in Week 13 against Denver with five catches for 64 yards on seven targets, but he was overshadowed by Terry McLaurin, who returned from his three-game absence with a quadriceps injury and had seven catches for 96 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets for 22.6 PPR points. Samuel has now scored 11.1 PPR points or less in his past three games with McLaurin, and this is a tough matchup for both receivers in Week 14 against the Vikings, who are No. 2 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers. Minnesota has not allowed a receiver to score double digits in PPR in three games in a row against Chicago, Green Bay, and Seattle, and no receiver has scored a touchdown against the Vikings in their past four games. I'll still use McLaurin as a low-end No. 2 Fantasy receiver in the majority of leagues, but Samuel is only worth starting in three-receiver leagues.

  Samuel was great in his last game against Miami in Week 11 with seven catches for 74 yards and a touchdown on eight targets, and he scored 20.7 PPR points. But he played that game without Terry McLaurin (quadriceps), who is expected to return in Week 13 against Denver after a three-game absence. Samuel combined for 9.1 PPR points in the past two games he played with McLaurin in Week 3 against Las Vegas and Week 8 at Kansas City. The Broncos also could get Patrick Surtain II (pectoral) back after missing the past three games, and Denver is No. 4 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers. I would only start Samuel in three-receiver leagues in Week 13.

• Commanders' Deebo Samuel: Finds end zone in OT loss

  24D ago • By RotoWire

  Samuel caught seven of eight targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-13 overtime loss to the Dolphins. He added three rushing yards on his only carry. The veteran wideout scored Washington's only TD of the day on a 20-yard catch-and-run in the third quarter. Samuel has gotten into the end zone in back-to-back games, and he'll take a 53-470-5 line on 68 targets for the season into the Commanders' Week 12 bye. He's also chipped in 52 yards and a touchdown on the ground.
