Who Should I Start? Curtis Samuel or Jalen McMillan

Sunday, September 14, 12:04 PM

Buffalo Bills veteran wide receiver Curtis Samuel is once again a healthy inactive for Sunday's Week 2 divisional contest on the road against the New York Jets. Samuel was also a healthy scratch for the season-opening win over the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday night. Right now, the 29-year-old is buried on Buffalo's receiver depth chart, thanks to the offseason additions of Joshua Palmer and Elijah Moore. Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Tyrell Shavers are also ahead of him. Samuel should remain on the waiver wire in all fantasy formats for now. In his first year with Buffalo in 2024, he caught 31 of his 46 targets for 253 yards and only one touchdown in 14 regular-season games (two starts).

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan (neck), still on injured reserve from a preseason injury, is still slated for a 2025 return, but likely not until after Tampa's Week 9 bye. The second-year receiver sustained the injury on a frightening play trying to catch a pass, but avoided worst-case scenarios and has a realistic change to come back this season. He finished as the 55th-ranked PPR receiver last year on the strength of eight touchdown catches. McMillan's return, however, is still on the shelf for at least another month as Tampa deals with injuries at several other key positions.
