Brandon Aiyuk or Deebo Samuel in 2024 Fantasy Football? | Expert Analysis & Draft Tips

then when it comes to receivers it's Debo and it's Brandon iuk and now Ricky Piel but Debo Samuel um coming off of a year where people were questioning if Debo was still him if he still had the upside finished as the wide receiver 15 in just 15 games uh Did It On The Ground did in the passing game he had 60 catches 892 yards and seven TDS so he wasn't quite at the same Pace that he was in 2021 where he was the wide receiver three and he was locked and loaded uh but he looked like his normal self and that's what we wanted to see as fantasy managers is which Debo should we expect and I think that's the Debo we should get used to seeing is that wide receiver two with massive weekly upside Deo Samuel um he's likely to stay with the team now there were some concerns that him and IU could be moved to different organizations via trade um but he's likely to stay with the team this season so he changes number he's number one now Debo Samuel Jr or senior excuse me Samuel senior should be on at the back at his jersey now so he's playing for his son obviously and then also playing he's number one now so you put that Jersey on we expecting a lot fantasy-wise but he got really hot in the second half uh late in the season so to me it seems like Debo's all in but the one thing we're have to get used to is the spike weeks and then probably some some times where we have two three weeks of mediocre to dud performances so obviously gon to be heavily involved in the Run game the ground and then also in the passing game Yak type stuff but for the most part s we should expect him to be wide receiver too Lev same thing goes for Brandon auk who is the wide receiver 14 in 16 games last year so really good season for Brandon iuk playing for a new contract right now obviously that was a lot of where like the smoke came from when it comes to the trade talks there was talks about him going to Jacksonville Buffalo you name it there was a lot of Steelers a lot of teams interested in Brandon iuk pre-draft um and for good reason he had 75 catches 130 uh excuse me 1,300 142 yards in the air and then seven touchdowns so I think he could actually take on a slightly bigger workload this season even with the type of yardage that he had I can see a lot more receptions coming his way so for him all it takes is just a slight increase in output to be a top 10 receiver and I think there's a possibility there can he be a top five guy I don't really see that out of auk in this offense unless dbo were to go down for an extended period of time but Brandon iuk should should be a really good fantasy player this season as well so I know there's some concerns to the team draft Ricky piol in the first round there's also some talks that he might be traded at the deadline my gut is that Brandon auk stays with the team throughout this season if they can't get a contract extension worked out he'll be playing under the franchise tag uh you know obviously the next season they have that at the disposal if they really need to so I think he'll stay with the Niners this season they'll work on obviously with his fifth year option this year franchise a possibility next year so I'm not anticipating anything with Brandon iuk uh this season now he only had three games under 10 fantasy points which for me indicates that like he's a very consistent player and he does provide upsid so w iuk as a wide receiver too you have the upside to for him to be a wide receiver one and you have a really nice wide receiver two floor on a weekly basis so Brandon iuk should be part of your Draft plans if you have a top if you're looking for like top 15 receivers he might fall in drafts just because of the addition of Ricky Piel on the draft I think he'll be a value this season as well and speaking of Ricky piol out of Florida um you know the Niners do use a lot of two receiver sets which is the main concern for me when it comes to piol a lot of people are expecting him to take on a bigger role or maybe take away some Debo and auk touches I think this might be a preventative move in case they do decide to move away from Brandon iuk next season so for me he'll be you know he he'll be a part of the offense but I think one of these receivers needed to go in order for him to be useful dbo or auk and I don't see that happening this year so unless something crazy happens before the season starts I don't see a whole lot of value Ricky piol in redraft and Dynasty it's a good offense to be attached to good obviously with Kyle Shanahan and then you got Brock P who's going to be in San Francisco for an extended period of time Christian mcaffry so the offense is still going to be elite and you want to be a part of that but for this season specifically I don't see it when it comes to Piel or Jawan Jennings who looked really good in the postseason run last year made some really timely catches had some big performances probably would have won Super Bowl MVP if it wasn't for you know the Chiefs winning the Super Bowl but I'm not expecting much from Jawan Jennings this year who's on a he's on a restricted deal and he hasn't even he hasn't signed that yet so we'll see if he show what happens with this receiving core I'm anticipating Deo aayu being the leaders of it Piel being probably next in line Jan jannings playing a nice serviceable role but nothing for us fantasy wise
