Curtis Samuel Week 12 Outlook - Broncos at Bills

Most don't realize Samuel ranks 21st among wide receivers with 75 targets, as his production (outside the top-30 in fantasy production) hasn't quite caught up with the volume. What's even crazier is that he ranks sixth in air yards among receivers. Those ahead of him are Mike Evans, John Brown, Julio Jones, Kenny Golladay, and Keenan Allen. That's great territory to be in. It's only a matter of time before that explosion comes, though Kyle Allen's inconsistency isn't going to help. The Saints play in a dome, which should only help his track speed. He's only played three games indoors over his career, so the results can be skewed, but he's averaged 18.1 yards per reception in those games compared to 11.2 outdoors. It might actually help him if Marshon Lattimore is able to suit up for this game, as that would severely hamper Moore's production. But even if Lattimore sits, Samuel would see Eli Apple most of the day, the cornerback who allowed Samuel a 53-yard touchdown catch in New Orleans last year. With the opportunity Samuel is getting, you have to keep plugging him in as a WR3. He makes for a great tournament play.
