Curtis Samuel News
Tuesday, June 30, 9:49 AM
The Athletic's Nicki Jhabvala is intrigued by the prospect of the Washington Commanders adding veteran free-agent wide receiver Curtis Samuel before the start of training camp this summer. It's obvious that Washington needs WR depth behind WR1 Terry McLaurin, which is why they've been heavily linked to San Francisco 49ers disgruntled wideout Brandon Aiyuk (knee) all offseason. The risk with Samuel is his durability, as he's dealt with a string of injuries throughout his NFL career and has been active for only two full seasons in his nine years in the league. But the 29-year-old is still a free agent after the Buffalo Bills released him in March, and he's reportedly fully healthy. Samuel played in D.C. from 2021 through 2023, is close with McLaurin, and is familiar with WRs coach Bobby Engram. Samuel isn't exactly an ideal WR2, but he's versatile and has nine years of NFL experience. He played in just six games for Buffalo last year and caught seven of his nine targets for 81 yards and one touchdown, and he had just one TD in 14 games (two starts) the year before with the Bills.

Courtland Sutton News
Sunday, November 8, 5:49 PM
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton had season highs in catches (five) and targets (nine) while recording 45 receiving yards and his second touchdown of the season in the team's 26-21 win on the road over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday in Week 9. The production was nothing special, but the 31-year-old veteran's elevated line in comparison to the rest of his season came with fellow receiver Jaylen Waddle being ruled out after suffering a head injury early in the game. Sutton's second touchdown of the season got Denver on the board on a three-yard hookup with quarterback Bo Nix in the first quarter. He only averaged 9.0 yards per catch, though, and Sutton could go back to being a hard-to-trust WR4/flex option in deeper fantasy leagues when the team returns from their Week 10 bye to face the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders if Waddle is cleared from his concussion by then. Sutton only has 25 catches for 266 yards and two touchdowns on 46 targets through nine games in 2026, but he does have at least 45 yards receiving in his last three games after having only one such game in the first six weeks.
