These 2 Explosive (and Cheap) Receivers Have the Best Chance to be the Next Deebo Samuel

Shawn Siegele breaks down the two players who could be the next Deebo Samuel and generate 30% advance rates in 2022.

Can we locate the next Cooper Kupp and Deebo Samuel for the 2022 season?

This was the question asked by RotoViz Overtime listeners, and it really is the most relevant question in fantasy. The epic seasons from Kupp and Samuel seemed to come out of nowhere. It’s unlikely that we’ll have middle-round wide receivers who perform to quite such a degree in 2022, but the conditions are in place for this type of league-winning season again.

Yesterday, we looked at how Kupp and Stefon Diggs exploded in 2021 and 2020 respectively. Today, we turn to Samuel.

The San Francisco star’s 2022 doppelgangers sit at the intersection of several criteria I employ to find not just breakouts but breakout values across all of my leagues.
