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.

After Adding D’Onta Foreman, the Bears Have a Fantasy Backfield That’s Dangerous in More Ways Than One

Shawn Siegele March 17, 2023

The Chicago Bears have signed D’Onta Foreman to a one-year, $3 million contract. He’ll be paired with 2022 breakout Khalil Herbert to form a cheap and explosive backfield. Fresh off of their fleecing of the Carolina Panthers in the trade market, the Bears may have gotten the better of them at RB as well. While Miles Sanders and Chuba Hubbard should form a good lighting-and-lightning…...

Superflex Sleeper? Baker Mayfield Signs With Tampa to the Chagrin of Mike Evans and Chris Godwin

Shawn Siegele March 15, 2023

The Tampa Buccaneers have reportedly signed Baker Mayfield to a one-year $8.5 million contract with $4.5 million guaranteed. He’ll likely compete with Kyle Trask to be the starting quarterback as Tampa sets themselves up for an early pick in 2024. The Cleveland Browns selected Mayfield No. 1 overall in the 2018 draft but eventually soured on him after an injury-plagued 2021 season. They traded him…...
