Who Should I Start? Curtis Samuel or DJ Moore

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.

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore caught four of his six targets for 72 receiving yards during Sunday's Week 9 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He also had a two-yard passing touchdown and a 17-yard rushing touchdown. We've heard for several months that Moore was going to have some unique ways of getting involved in new head coach Ben Johnson's system, but perhaps nobody expected the wide receiver to run and throw for a touchdown in the same game. The 28-year-old had his best fantasy performance (PPR) since Week 12 last season. He remains a low-end WR2 heading into Week 10 against the 2-7 New York Giants.
