2022 Fantasy Outlook
Samuel recorded 43 tackles and two interceptions in what was an injury-bugged rookie campaign as he missed a total of five games due to two separate concussions. Heading into 2022, Samuel is likely to overtake veteran Michael Davis' outside cornerback duties while offseason signing Bryce Callahan slides into the vacacted slot corner role. Los Angeles also signed second-team All-Pro cornerback J.C. Jackson, who figures to handle opposing teams' No. 1 receivers throughout the course of the season. Read Past Outlooks

Disappoints in second season
Samuel finished the 2022-23 season with 57 tackles (48 solo), one tackle for loss, two interceptions, a fumble recovery and 11 passes defended across 17 games.
ANALYSIS
Samuel served as the Chargers' No. 1 corner after J.C. Jackson suffered a season-ending knee injury in late October. The 23-year-old had a disappointing second season, recording the same amount of pass deflections and interceptions as he did during his rookie year despite playing in five more games, while also allowing a team-high six touchdowns. While the potential is there, Samuel has struggled with consistency but will look to try and put it all together going into his third season.
