Deebo Samuel's performance in the 2024 season has raised significant concerns among dynasty fantasy football managers. With only 51 receptions for 670 yards, he recorded the lowest average yards per game of his career, compounded by internal team conflicts and a health scare involving pneumonia. His dissatisfaction with the 49ers ultimately led to a trade to the Washington Commanders, where the organization must figure out how to utilize his unique skill set effectively.

Samuel's lack of traditional receiver skills—specifically in route running and separation—might hinder his ability to thrive in a new system. Given the current team dynamics, fantasy players should view him as a trade candidate for 2025, especially considering the uncertainty surrounding his deployment in Washington.
