BUF WR Curtis Samuel - 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Over his three seasons with Washington, Curtis Samuel delivered mediocre fantasy lines with mediocre usage, but he has a chance at a career resurgence in Buffalo, reunited with OC Joe Brady. In his final year with Brady —in Carolina— Samuel finished as fantasy's WR25, with 77 receptions and 41 rush attempts. The competition for touches out of the receiving room in 2024 is minimal. Khalil Shakir should be pigeonholed for a slot role, Marquise Valez-Scantling and Chase Claypool aren't good, and rookie Keon Coleman is a raw prospect out of the gate. Samuel could very easily be the team's WR1.

Fantasy Downside
Samuel's seven-year career-high in receiving is 851 yards, and he has failed to breach 700 in any other season. If Keon Coleman catches on quickly, the team will likely want to push him into an every-down role and ease the loss of Stefon Diggs to the fanbase.

2024 Bottom Line
It's hard to grasp exactly how the team is going to use Samuel this season, but his late-round draft capital in an ambiguous situation makes him very intriguing. It would surprise no one if he and TE Dalton Kincaid become the primary pass-catching options in 2024, but Samuel has a long history of not being able to get his head above water in similar situations on other teams. He profiles as a great dart throw later in drafts, with a wide range of possible outcomes.

WAS WR Curtis Samuel - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs San Francisco 49ers

Curtis Samuel was shut down last week as he caught just one pass for 16 yards. He also ran twice for four yards, although Washington has pulled back considerably on getting Samuel rush attempts. Last season Samuel had 38 attempts on the ground and so far this year he has just six. This week, Samuel faces the 49ers (18th aFPA) and will have a new QB in Jacoby Brissett. Samuel has seen four targets out of Brissett's 23 pass attempts over the past two games, one of which resulted in a TD. Samuel is a mid-tier WR3 option for Week 17.

WAS WR Curtis Samuel - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at New York Jets

Curtis Samuel had his best game of the season last week, finishing 5-41-2, catching a touchdown from two different quarterbacks. Samuel also saw nine targets, which was second-most on the team. We'd expect Samuel to come back to reality in Week 16 as he faces a tough matchup against the Jets (1st aFPA). Samuel should be viewed as a low-end WR3 or a WR4 for Week 16.

WAS WR Curtis Samuel - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Los Angeles Rams

Curtis Samuel was the only Washington WR to have any sort of real production in the Commanders' last game, finishing 4-65 on five targets. The rest of the WR group combined had 25 yards. While Samuel led the way in that game, he's been a somewhat hit-or-miss player this season. This week he faces a middle-of-the-road Rams defense (18th aFPA). He'll again be a risky option given his volatility, but he's a decent mid-tier WR3 option for Week 15.

WAS WR Curtis Samuel - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Miami Dolphins

Curtis Samuel came out of nowhere to lead Washington in targets last week with 12. And he turned it into his best game of the year with a season-high in catches (9) and receiving yards (100). Samuel had a decent start to the season, but started to fade out of relevance, averaging 14.5 yards per game in his last four outings before Week 12. We'll see which Samuel shows up in Week 13 in a favorable matchup vs. the Dolphins (30th aFPA). Samuel carries some risk, but he's a high-risk high-reward WR3 option this week.

WAS WR Curtis Samuel - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Curtis Samuel saw eight targets last week, but didn't produce much, finishing 4-25. Despite the lackluster game, Samuel continues to be a big part of this offense as he's second on the team in targets (tied), receptions and receiving yards. This week, Samuel draws a favorable matchup against the Eagles (29th aFPA), a team he faced earlier in the season. In that game, Samuel finished 7-51 on eight targets. We like Samuel as a low-end WR3 option vs. Philly in Week 8.

WAS WR Curtis Samuel - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at New York Giants

Curtis Samuel had another solid outing last week, finishing 4-42-1. Samuel has now scored in three consecutive games. He's also topped 50 receiving yards in four of his six games this season. Samuel continues to produce, and has greatly out-paced his ADP as he was mostly an afterthought heading into the season. He's matched Jahan Dotson in targets, but the production between the two is very different. This week Samuel gets an OK matchup vs. the Giants (13th aFPA). He should be viewed as a WR3 for Week 7.
