Analyst details the colossal Commanders challenge redefining Deebo Samuel

The Washington Commanders began their aggressive recruitment during the offseason by trading for wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. This was projected to be the perfect running mate for second-team All-Pro wideout Terry McLaurin, giving quarterback Jayden Daniels a legitimate 1-2 punch to depend upon deep into the playoffs. That hasn't happened. McLaurin has been seldom seen due to injury. Daniels has played only six games and could be out for even longer with a dislocated elbow. Samuel, who was criticized for his conditioning and injury issues after the trade, has been the constant, missing just one game. And he's performed well. Samuel has had to become the top guy in Washington's receiver room without McLaurin. There's been a slight dip on occasion, but he's easily been the Commanders' most dependable pass-catcher — even if that isn't a high bar. Even so, Ryan Shea from Sports Illustrated believes that other elements out of Samuel's control make him unreliable, especially when it comes to fantasy football. Da
