Who Should I Start? Curtis Samuel or Chimere Dike

Monday, October 13, 6:21 PM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel (neck, ribs) is officially inactive for the Monday night contest on the road against the Atlanta Falcons, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. In addition to Samuel, the Bills' offense will be missing tight end Dalton Kincaid (oblique) against what has been a much-improved Atlanta defense so far in 2025. The 29-year-old Samuel hasn't been on the fantasy radar to begin with, but his absence on Monday means less depth in the wideout corps for Buffalo behind Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Joshua Palmer. The Bills have their bye coming in Week 7, so hopefully Samuel will be ready to go for a Week 8 contest against the Carolina Panthers. Samuel has only been active for two games so far in 2025 and has caught three of his four targets for 35 yards and one touchdown. He had just one TD in 14 games a year ago for Buffalo and should remain on the waiver wire.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike (chest, concussion) was officially ruled out of Sunday's Week 11 contest with a concussion, but he also suffered a chest contusion in the loss to Houston, according to Terry McCormick of Titan Insider. He finished the game with three targets, two catches, and 14 receiving yards. There's currently no timetable for his return, as Dike must clear the NFL's concussion protocol before he can return to action. He will also require treatment and time to rehab his chest injury. When Dike does return, he'll likely step up as the Titans' No. 1 receiver after Calvin Ridley (leg) suffered a season-ending fibula fracture. In the meantime, Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) and Van Jefferson will lead the Titans' receiving corps.
