Who Should I Start? Curtis Samuel or Jahan Dotson

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.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson remains third on the depth chart with a low floor heading into Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers, but his ability to deliver big plays can't be ignored. The 25-year-old has three catches over his last four games, and each of them went for at least 17 yards. The highlight of his year so far was a 40-yard touchdown in the Eagles' last game against the New York Giants. Dotson is targeted far less than A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Dallas Goedert, but we can't rule out Jalen Hurts throwing the ball his way a few times, especially if the Eagles find themselves in a stalemate with the Packers and need a spark. With that said, there's a lot of risk here, and Dotson's low floor outweighs his chance of making a big play. He can be left on waivers in fantasy leagues with 14 or fewer teams.
