Who Should I Start? Curtis Samuel or Greg Dortch

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.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch posted his best game of the season in Week 6 due to a couple of injuries to the receiver corps. He finished as the WR32 in half-PPR formats with three receptions for nine yards and a touchdown on three targets from Jacoby Brissett. Marvin Harrison Jr. is set to return after being cleared from concussion protocol, but Zay Jones (knee) received a questionable tag. If Jones doesn't play, Dortch holds some value against the Green Bay Packers. Especially if Brissett is under center and the Cardinals dial up a similar game plan as last week. Since his value depends on a lot of moving parts, however, Dortch is quite the dart-throw option that is only worth playing in dire situations.
