Washington Commanders WR Deebo Samuel has recorded 55 plays of at least 20 yards in the passing game over the last four years, which ranks 18th in the NFL during that time.
Huddle Up: Samuel should be a valuable option for Jayden Daniels this season and may have favorable matchups since Terry McLaurin on the other side. He should be considered a No. 3 or No. 4 receiver in fantasy leagues.

Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin did not attend the team's offseason workout Wednesday, May 21. He is entering the final year of his current contract.
Huddle Up: McLaurin is coming off his fifth straight 1,000-yard season and probably will receive an extension at some point. He showed a great connection with Jayden Daniels in 2024 and should be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues this upcoming season.

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels will be working on improving his footwork this offseason because it is an area he needs to work on, according to head coach Dan Quinn.
Huddle Up: Daniels is coming off an outstanding rookie season but can work on things to improve his play. He should continue to be one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL and should be a starting option in all leagues.
Posted 3/31/2025 9:17 pm GMT
Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin has started contract extension talks with the Commanders, according to general manager Adam Peters.
Huddle Up: McLaurin is coming off an outstanding 2024 season and likely will receive a lucrative contract at some point. He will see plenty of targets again next season and will be a weekly starting option in all leagues.

Washington Commanders WR Deebo Samuel agreed to a restructured contract, according to sources Wednesday, March 19. The new deal guaranteed $17 million of Samuel's previously non-guaranteed salary for the 2025 season. It also includes up to $3 million worth of incentives, bringing the potential total of the deal to $20 million.
Huddle Up: Samuel seems like a good fit for the Commanders as the No. 2 behind Terry McLaurin. Washington should find creative ways to get him the football closer to the line of scrimmage, but his volatile game still keeps him in the WR3 range entering the 2025 season.
Posted 3/09/2025 3:29 am GMT
Washington Commanders impending free-agent TE Zach Ertz has agreed to re-sign on a one-year, $6.25 million deal worth up to $9 million, according to sources.
Huddle Up: Ertz doesn't have a lot of explosiveness these days, but he caught 66 passes and had seven touchdowns last season. He can be a low-end TE1 for fantasy owners.

San Francisco 49ers WR Deebo Samuel will be traded to the Washington Commanders in exchange for a fifth-round draft choice, according to sources. The trade will be official once the new league year begins.
Huddle Up: Samuel asked to a trade after the season, and the 49ers were able to find a deal they were willing to take. Ricky Pearsall should be more involved in the passing game next season with Samuel gone and can be a No. 3 receiver in some fantasy leagues.

San Francisco 49ers WR Deebo Samuel may be on the move shortly, as the Washington Commanders and Houston Texans have shown "significant interest" in trading for him in recent days, according to sources. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos are among some of the other teams who have also checked in on Samuel.
Huddle Up: The Commanders make a ton of sense for multiple reasons. Not only is general manager Adam Peters a former 49ers executive, but Samuel's ability to dominate near the line of scrimmage would pair nicely with Terry McLaurin's ability to stretch the field. The Texans also have a need at receiver if Stefon Diggs does not return and have ties to Samuel as head coach DeMeco Ryans used to coach San Francisco's defense. With that said, Samuel would not serve as a No. 1 receiver for any of the four teams mentioned and will probably experience a drop in fantasy value as a result of leaving Kyle Shanahan's offense.

San Francisco 49ers WR Deebo Samuel is not believed to be a trade target for the Denver Broncos this offseason, according to the Denver Gazette's Chris Tomasson.
Huddle Up: The Broncos probably will look to add to their receiver corps this offseason, but Samuel does not appear to be on their list. Samuel likely will be playing for a new team next season and can be at least a No. 3 fantasy receiver in most leagues if healthy.

The San Francisco 49ers may consider releasing WR Deebo Samuel before his option bonus is due March 22, and designating him as a post-June 1 cut, according to Dan Graziano of ESPN.com. Under this scenario, the 49ers would have a dead cap hit of approximately $10.75 million in 2025 and about $20.8 million in 2026.
Huddle Up: At this point, it would be difficult for the 49ers to trade Samuel, because they would be on the hook for $31.55 million in dead money cap charges for the 2025 season if they traded him within the next month. However, if Samuel was dealt after March 22, the dead cap hit would skyrocket to $47 million. Regardless of where he is playing next season, Samuel should have a major role in the offense and can be viewed as a WR3 option or better in fantasy leagues.

San Francisco 49ers WR Deebo Samuel is receiving trade interest from multiple teams, but teams may consider waiting to see if the 49ers will release Samuel at some point if they can find a trade, according to ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler.
Huddle Up: Samuel has received permission to seek a trade, but it is not known if the 49ers will find a trade they are interested in over the next few weeks. It seems likely what Samuel will be playing for a new team in 2025 and probably will have a major role in the offense. He can be at least a No. 3 fantasy receiver in most leagues.
Posted 2/09/2025 7:44 pm GMT
Updating a previous report, San Francisco 49ers WR Deebo Samuel said he has received permission from the team to seek a trade this offseason.
Huddle Up: It seems likely that Samuel will be playing for a new team next season and probably will be a starting receiver wherever he plays in 2025. He did not have a great 2024 season but can still be a No. 3 or No. 4 receiver in most fantasy leagues because of work in the passing and running game.

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels is 40-of-59 for 551 yards and six touchdowns and two interceptions when his team is tied or trailing by one score in the fourth quarter or overtime this season. He has also led Washington to five comeback wins in those situations.
Huddle Up: Daniels' first year in the NFL is easily one of the best seasons by a rookie quarterback in league history. The No. 2 overall pick rarely looked like a rookie in 2024, completing 69% of his passes for 3,568 yards and rushing for a rookie quarterback-record 891 yards. One of the few blemishes on his first-year resume was taking 47 sacks - a number that increased dramatically after he absorbed 18 of them over the final four regular season contests. Regardless, Daniels will likely be considered a lock as a top-five fantasy option at his position in 2025.

Posted 1/08/2025 9:03 pm GMT
Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Jan. 8.
