Week 9 vs. Minnesota Vikings
After going three straight games without a carry, Washington has started to utilize Curtis Samuel more as a rushing threat. In the past two games, Samuel has seen five and four carries, respectively, for a total of 55 yards on the ground. He's also maintaining a strong role as a receiving threat, as he's hit 50 receiving yards in each of those games as well. Samuel hasn't scored since Week 2, which is worrying, but he continues to be a dynamic option for Washington, averaging 62.1 scrimmage yards per game. Samuel draws a favorable matchup this week against the Vikings who have given up the 7th-most average fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. Samuel should be viewed as a mid-tier WR2 play for Week 9.
