Who Should I Start? Curtis Samuel or Christian Kirk

Friday, November 28, 12:20 PM

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver Curtis Samuel (elbow, knee) will not play on Sunday in Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to Maddy Glab of BuffaloBills.com. Samuel will miss a second straight game, and it's unclear if the 29-year-old will be able to return for a Week 14 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. Samuel has not been on the fantasy radar at all in 2025, as he's caught only seven passes on nine targets for 81 yards and one touchdown on the year. He was unable to take advantage of second-year wideout Keon Coleman being benched for the last two games for disciplinary reasons. Samuel was off the fantasy radar in most leagues last year as well in Buffalo, as he had a weak 31-253-1 line in 14 regular-season games.

Houston Texans wide receiver Christian Kirk (illness) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 16 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders despite being listed as questionable, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Kirk has appeared in 10 games this season, catching an underwhelming 22 passes for 204 yards and one touchdown. He has just one catch over his last three contests, and he remains buried on the depth chart behind Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins. Kirk can be benched or left on waivers in most redraft formats.
