Deebo Samuel has struggled significantly in recent games, managing only two catches for 22 yards and 13 rushing yards in a recent victory against the Bears. This performance continues a concerning trend, as he has not surpassed 22 receiving yards in his last four games. With a crucial matchup against the Rams approaching, there is growing concern among fantasy managers about Samuel's viability as a starter. His production may improve with the expected return of quarterback Brock Purdy, who could help revitalize the 49ers' passing game.

• Deebo Samuel is in a four-game slump with minimal production.
• The return of Brock Purdy could be crucial for Samuel's performance.
