I had some hesitation with this one, but that was because I was thinking of Deebo as what he once was, not what he’s been recently. He has failed to reach 13 fantasy points in five straight games. He has not even reached seven in each of his last three, scoring four or fewer in the last two. It just kept getting worse. With the Niners thin at running back, I assume he will get more carries in the ground game. That isn’t always ideal for fantasy, though, as those touches don’t carry the additional points you gain for a catch. The Bears have allowed the third-fewest fantasy PPG to WRs. They’re also among the 10 stingiest defenses when it comes to YAC allowed to receivers, which is a specialty of Samuel. Eventually, he will have a big game, but given the recent production and the matchup, you can get away from Deebo this week.
