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

Buffalo Bills wide receivers Amari Cooper (wrist) and Curtis Samuel (pectoral) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game according to Katherine Fitzgerald of the Buffalo News. Both wideouts were limited participants on Wednesday and Thursday and will now carry an injury designation into the weekend. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor their status. Cooper took a step back last weekend after catching four passes for 66 yards and a score in his Buffalo debut in Week 7. Samuel has been given minimal opportunities in this passing attack so far. If either wide receiver is unable to suit up, fantasy managers should expect Khalil Shakir and Dalton Kincaid to see an uptick in targets.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel (pectoral) missed the Week 8 game against the Seattle Seahawks with a pectoral injury and was limited in Wednesday's practice ahead of the Week 9 AFC East matchup with the Miami Dolphins. Samuel was labeled a preseason fantasy football sleeper, but he has caught just 12 of his 18 targets for 92 yards and no touchdowns so far this season. With Khalil Shakir, Dalton Kincaid, and Keon Coleman coming on in recent weeks, there's little hope for Samuel to become a legitimate fantasy factor moving forward. The team also acquired Pro Bowl wideout Amari Cooper ahead of Week 7. Cooper is dealing with a wrist injury and could miss Sunday's game, but either way, Samuel should not be trusted in any starting fantasy football lineups.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel (pectoral) will not play on Sunday according to Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN. The 28-year-old has yet to participate in any practices this week and will now set his sights on returning in Week 9 to face the Miami Dolphins. Samuel has had a disappointing campaign in Buffalo so far as he has caught just 12 total passes for 92 yards and no scores. As a result, fantasy managers should expect newly acquired Amari Copper to lead the wide receiver room with rookie Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir behind him. They will be facing a tough Seattle secondary who has allowed the 12th-fewest PPR points to opposing wide receivers.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel (pectoral) was briefly present while the team stretched on Thursday, but he officially missed practice for the second straight day this week. Samuel injured his pectoral muscle in the win in Week 7 over the Tennessee Titans and is now firmly in danger of missing the Week 8 game this Sunday in Seattle against the Seahawks. The 28-year-old pass-catcher is going to need at least a limited practice on Friday to avoid being ruled out entirely this weekend. Even if Samuel is active against Seattle, fantasy managers should have better options for their flex spot. In seven games in his first year in Buffalo in 2024, Samuel hasn't been a big part of the team's passing attack, catching 12 of his 18 targets for 92 yards and no touchdowns. Newcomer Amari Cooper, Khalil Shakir and rookie Keon Coleman will continue to operate in starting three-wide sets for Buffalo.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel (pectoral) was listed as a non-participant in the team's Wednesday practice. Samuel played on just two snaps in Buffalo's victory over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday before being ruled out for the remainder of the contest. The 28-year-old sustained the injury on what appeared to be a routine play -- getting knocked to the ground by a Titans defender after an incomplete pass. The DNP tag is a discouraging precursor to his status for the Bills' Week 9 road outing against the Seattle Seahawks. Still, even when he's healthy, he figures to be little more than a depth piece for Buffalo with the new addition of wide receiver Amari Cooper. Even before Cooper's arrival, Samuel was a distant fourth option in the passing game behind fellow wideouts Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir, and tight end Dalton Kincaid.
