Curtis Samuel Week 3 Outlook - Bills at Commanders

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sat, Sep 23rd 2023, 4:05am EDT

Samuel hasn't crossed 60 receiving yards this season or played more than 65% of the snaps. Asking Sam Howell to support at least or maybe two pass catchers currently is a struggle, much less a tertiary option like Samuel. Samuel has a 12.7% Target share and a 10.4% air yard share while running about 73% of his routes from the slot. He'll see Taron Johnson (2022: 71.8% catch rate and 107.7 passer rating) in coverage for most of the day. The matchup is good, so if you are in a deep league, he's flex-worthy. Samuel popped up on the injury report on Friday (DNP) with a hip injury. He's been listed as questionable. Week 3 Positional Value: Deep league flex play (if active)
