Deebo Samuel Sr. Looking to Repeat Week 1 Performance Against Green Bay
Deebo Samuel Sr. thrived in his first game with the team, catching seven of his 10 targets for 77 yards and also scoring a 19-yard touchdown on his only carry. With No. 1 wide receiver Terry McLaurin missing training camp, Samuel established a great connection and trust with quarterback Jayden Daniels and was the focal point of the passing attack in the season opener. He received his usual diet of screens and underneath routes while mixing in a few deep crossers and dig routes that he excelled at in San Francisco. Samuel looks like an ideal fit in this Washington offense led by offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury. The yards after the catch element was lacking a bit in this offense last season, and there are few better with the ball in their hands than Samuel. He faces a Green Bay defense that ran zone coverage at the third-highest rate in the league in Week 1. That sets up favorably for Samuel, as he's performed much better against zone compared to man for his career. Samuel should be viewed as a high-end WR3 for fantasy purposes in Week 2.
