Deebo Samuel Sr. scores short TD on MNF

Samuel hauled in his only carry for a five-yard touchdown while adding 16 rushing yards on three attempts in Monday’s 40-34 loss to the Lions.

Samuel saw his usage drop back to levels seen during his horrific second-half slump, but a short touchdown grab helped salvage what would have been a rough fantasy outing. The underachieving superstar has a 51-670-3 receiving line entering the final week of the regular season to go along with 134 rushing yards and a fourth score in 15 starts this year. Samuel will have another chance to increase his offseason free agent bid in Sunday’s road tilt against the Cardinals.
