Panthers WR Curtis Samuel improves route running

Jul 29, 2019

Norv Turner on Curtis Samuel: “He’s becoming an outstanding route runner.”

Fantasy Impact:

Samuel started getting regular work in Week 11. In his final seven games, he averaged 3.9 catches for 53 yards and 0.43 touchdowns, which equates to a 62-846-7 pace over a 16-game season. He basically matched the production of D.J. Moore in that span. We’re expecting low-end WR3 numbers from Samuel in 2019. He ranks 35th on our list.

Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (quad) still isn’t practicing, putting his availability for Thursday Night Football in doubt.

Fantasy Impact:

Higgins missed practice all of last week and did not play in Sunday’s win over the Raiders, the story pointed out. With Higgins out and Burton also out last week, Chase, Iosivas and Irwin were the top WRs, but Gesicki had a big game from the TE position and could be a top target again. The Bengals play on Thursday night at the Ravens.
