Deebo Samuel A High-Upside Pick For Divisional Round
2 years agoSan Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel has a high-upside matchup against a Dallas Cowboys team that has given up more touchdowns to opposing wide receivers than any team in the regular season. Samuel has had a down year, scoring just five total touchdowns, but two have come in his past three games. The 26-year-old can always break away and take it to the house. The Cowboys have a tougher defense than any Niners QB Brock Purdy has faced this season. They are good at bringing pressure, ranking fourth in sacks. But Samuel is insulated from possible Niners' offensive struggles because of his dual-threat usage. If San Fran cannot get anything going, they may look to quick passes and exotic packages, in which Samuel excels.
