Who Should I Start? Curtis Samuel or Christian Watson

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.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday Night Football against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to the team. Watson has been limited in practice every day this week and said earlier in the week that his "goal and my plan is to play" in Week 8. The 26-year-old was also limited in practice all last week before ultimately being ruled out. He hasn't played since suffering a torn ACL in Week 18 last season against the Bears, but appears to be trending in the right direction to make his season debut on Sunday night in Pittsburgh. If Watson does suit up, he will likely be on a snap count as he eases back into action, making him a risky fantasy option.
