WR52 — below the ~34 started in 12-team leagues.

Sit call: Deebo Samuel projects for 6.9 PPR points this week, ranked #52 among WRs by our projection model. @SEA is a tough matchup for WRs — the model applies a -12% swing to his projection. Vegas posts the total at 48.5 — 103% of the 47.2 league average for week 5.
