The Washington Commanders (3-4) will host the Seattle Seahawks (5-2) in Week 9. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Deebo Samuel Sr..
Is Deebo Samuel Sr. Playing in Week 9?
Samuel is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Commanders’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Samuel in Week 9?
Deebo Samuel had two catches for 11 yards two minutes into Monday night’s loss to the Chiefs.
It was a start that we wanted to see with Terry McLaurin back, but it didn’t last. Over the next 58 minutes, he caught as many of his four targets as the Chiefs did (one) and didn’t pick up another receiving yard.
The Chiefs are a tough matchup, and their holding the ball for over 34 minutes didn’t help either.
I think you still have a viable flex play here. Samuel and McLaurin play well off of one another, and the return of Jayden Daniels gives this offense a level of upside that Marcus Mariota simply doesn’t.
Chalk up Week 8’s dud to the game. My thoughts about him haven’t changed since this time last week.
