Scores in AFCCG loss to Kansas City
Samuel secured one of three targets for four yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 32-29 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game.
ANALYSIS
Samuel emerged as a notable contributor for Buffalo's offense during the playoffs, securing six of eight targets for 81 yards and two scores in three postseason appearances, an encouraging development after his underwhelming regular season. Across 14 regular-season games, Samuel compiled 31 catches (on 46 targets) for just 253 yards and one touchdown in addition to five carries for 14 yards. The 28-year-old has two more years remaining on his contract with the Bills, though the team will have a potential 'out' to consider after the 2025 campaign.

JuJu Smith-Schuster had a surprisingly big role in Sunday's win over Buffalo, getting far more playing time than fellow veteran wideout DeAndre Hopkins.

2017
Samuel joined the Bills’ high-powered offense as a free agent after three years in Washington. With both Samuel and Khalil Shakir having mostly played the slot, it’s unclear which receiver will spend more time there this season. Samuel might fit best in the slot, but it'll be hard to maintain fantasy value if he's not on the field in two-wide formations, as the Bills figure to use a lot of multi-TE packages with Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox. Meanwhile, rookie second-round pick Keon Coleman figures to get a lot of the perimeter WR snaps and could end up being the top deep threat for QB Josh Allen. Other than an injury-marred 2021 season, Samuel has topped 600 receiving yards every year since 2019 and scored 5-7 TDs in each season since 2018. He's never been more than a WR3 type for fantasy, and even that's been more miss than hit since he moved from Carolina to Washington after the 2020 campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

In line for larger role Sunday
Samuel was specifically mentioned by head coach Sean McDermott as one of the likely beneficiaries of Khalil Shakir's forthcoming Week 5 absence due to an ankle injury, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Shakir failed to practice all week after coming out of a Week 4 loss to the Ravens with ankle soreness. Upon ruling out Shakir for Sunday's game against the Texans, McDermott remarked "thankful we have Curtis" with respect to the reinforcements that will be asked to step up in the No. 1 wideout's absence. Samuel has notably been relegated to a very minor role over the first four games of the season, recording just eight receptions for 48 yards and two rushes for seven yards across a modest 65 snaps from scrimmage.
