Who Should I Start? Curtis Samuel or Dontayvion Wicks

Wednesday, August 27, 11:39 PM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel made the team's initial 53-man roster. The 29-year-old is coming off one of the worst seasons of his career, as he caught just 31 passes for 253 yards and one touchdown through 14 games. Although last season wasn't up to his typical standards, his moderate production and veteran status (plus a solid training camp this summer) earned him a roster spot heading into the 2025 campaign. Samuel will likely operate as the Bills' No. 4 receiver behind Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Josh Palmer. As a result, he currently lacks fantasy appeal.

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and Savion Williams (hamstring) were both listed as limited practice participants on the team's first injury report of the year. Meanwhile, Jayden Reed, who is dealing with a Jones fracture in his foot, was a DNP. Wicks injured his calf in late July and missed most of training camp and all of the preseason. However, the 24-year-old returned to the field last week and has a good shot of suiting up in Week 1 against the division-rival Detroit Lions on Sunday, as does Williams. Even if Reed is unable to play this weekend, Wicks would likely be the fourth-best target for quarterback Jordan Love behind rookie first-rounder Matthew Golden, Romeo Doubs and tight end Tucker Kraft, making him avoidable in starting fantasy lineups. Wicks is only rostered in 1% of Yahoo leagues.
