Deebo Samuel News

NBC SportsThe Athletic's Matt Barrows reports 49ers WR Jacob Cowing is "doing a better job" of maintaining speed "throughout his cuts and breaks."

After polling coaches, Barrows also noted a "theme," indicating "no one took better advantage of the offseason than Cowing." Barrows adds that "the 49ers also were taking advantage of his speed as a downfield threat this spring," and suggests Cowing "can run a lot of the gadget plays that went to Deebo Samuel in previous years." A series of unfortunate events may have to occur for Cowing to climb past the No. 6 spot in the 49ers' passing game pecking order. Still, Cowing may be worth a roll of the dice as a late-round best ball option.

NBC SportsFOX NFL's Jordan Schultz reports it "remains to be seen" if Terry McLaurin will attend mandatory minicamp.

Per Schultz, McLaurin is "frustrated with the lack of progress on a long-term deal." McLaurin originally showed up at voluntary OTAs but abruptly left, putting his discontent with the situation on full display. He is now entering a contract year and little progress has been made on getting him a new deal. Coming off a 13-touchdown season that saw him form an instant connection with rookie passer Jayden Daniels, McLaurin has more than earned an extension of some kind. Whether the Commanders can meet his demands is up in the air. Deebo Samuel will get more work with Daniels for as long as McLaurin remains away from the team, giving him a chance at usurping McLaurin as the team's top receiving option. Likely facing some amount of touchdown regression already, McLaurin is becoming an increasingly risky fantasy pick.

NBC SportsCommanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury said he expects Jayden Daniels to make "a big jump" in 2025.

Daniels has once again impressed Washington coaches and teammates with unmatched work ethic this offseason, following his outstanding 2024 rookie campaign, which included 25 passing scores and six rushing touchdowns. Only five quarterbacks had a higher EPA per play than Daniels. "Just watching him move around, he's not thinking as much, he's playing fast and letting his natural gifts kind of take over, and that's what we want to see," Kingsbury said during Washington OTAs. Daniels has delivered the ball accurately and on time in offseason practices, just as he did through much of his rookie season. "He can make every throw, he's comfortable, he knows where the ball should go," said Deebo Samuel, who was traded from the 49ers to the Commanders this spring. "He's very smart." The mobile Daniels has every chance to be the QB1 overall in fantasy football this season.
