Deebo Samuel

Brown managed a full practice last Thursday. The team then gave him the day off on Friday and ruled him out. That was likely part of their plan to ramp him up to speed. He should have a good chance at returning this week. With Deebo Samuel and Terry McLaurin both healthy, Brown will return to a part-time role.

Samuel recorded five receptions on seven targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 27-26 overtime loss to the Broncos.

Burks showed a glimpse at what made him a first-round pick for the Titans in the 2022 draft as he elevated over a defender for a one-handed touchdown in the third quarter. Unfortunately for him, that would go down as his only reception of the evening with the return of Terry McLaurin. He does not hold any fantasy value while playing behind McLaurin, Deebo Samuel, and Jaylin Lane.

Samuel took a backseat to tight end Zach Ertz and alpha wide receiver Terry McLaurin in what was the first full game from McLaurin since Week 2, seeing just seven looks to the 14 of McLaurin and the 13 of Ertz. That gives fantasy managers reason for concern considering quarterback Marcus Mariota set a career high with 50 pass attempts i the overtime affair, particularly with Jayden Daniels appearing ready to return to the active roster in Week 14. Samuel's days of consistent fantasy production could be behind him in 2025.
