Curtis Samuel's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel caught three passes for 68 yards and a touchdown in the team's dominant win over the Denver Broncos in the Wild Card matchup. Samuel wasn't heavily involved (three targets) but led Buffalo in receiving yards thanks to a long catch-and-run in the fourth quarter. Already ahead two touchdowns entering the final frame, Josh Allen found Samuel for a 55-yard score on the quarter's first play to cement Buffalo's victory. Samuel doesn't hold much value the way Allen shares the love in the passing game. He was one of five receivers to earn three targets, which only trailed Khalil Shakir's six.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel caught seven passes for 52 yards in the team's 23-16 loss to the New England Patriots in the final game of the regular season. His seven receptions were a season-best mark. The 28-year-old has mostly been an afterthought in the Buffalo offense this season, so it makes sense that one of his best games came when the Bills rested some starters. Amari Cooper (family matter) was inactive. Khalil Shakir and Dalton Kincaid were active but did not play a snap. Mitchell Trubisky quarterbacked the majority of the game. Samuel will return to a minimal role in the first round of the playoffs.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel (rib) is officially active on Sunday for the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival New England Patriots. Samuel will make his return after missing the last two weeks due to a rib injury. The 28-year-old hasn't had much of a role on offense for Buffalo in 2024, although he could get more run this weekend with Buffalo expected to sit their starters on both sides of the ball after a series or two. Amari Cooper (personal) was already ruled out. The Bills are locked into the No. 2 seed in the AFC for the postseason, so there is no benefit to them playing all their key players in this one. However, if Samuel sees a season-high in snaps on Sunday in New England, he'd mostly be working with backup quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. Samuel could be busier than usual, but it's hard to put any fantasy faith in a player with only 201 receiving yards and one TD in 13 games.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel (rib) has been inactive for the last two weeks with a rib injury. Bills head coach Sean McDermott indicated that Samuel is the only player likely to be questionable for this Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. The Bills have already secured the No. 2 seed in the AFC playoff picture, so the main reason to consider playing Samuel this week would be to give him some game reps before their playoff matchup next weekend. Samuel has had a disappointing season, recording only 24 receptions for 201 yards and one touchdown. Fantasy managers should look for alternative wide receiver options for production in Week 18.

According to the team, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel (rib) practiced in a limited capacity again on Thursday. Samuel will likely need to upgrade to full participation on Friday to avoid an injury designation before the final game of the regular season. Samuel has missed the past two games due to this rib injury and could be in danger of missing his third if he has another limited practice session on Friday. The journeyman has had a disappointing debut in Buffalo. Samuel has only managed to catch 24 passes across 13 games and has only amassed 201 yards with one score. Over his past two games he has seen just five total targets. If Samuel misses his third-straight contest, Mack Hollins should continue to see a solid workload.
