Who Should I Start? Curtis Samuel or Jameson Williams

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.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams had one of his better games of the 2025 season in Week 9, recording four catches for 66 yards and a touchdown on six targets in his team's 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Williams has been a frustrating player for fantasy managers this season, as he has hauled in 21 catches for 355 yards and three scores on 36 targets across eight games. Still, the 24-year-old has now recorded at least six targets, 66 receiving yards, and a touchdown in two out of his last three games. The main issue for Williams remains his non-existent floor, as the other game in that three-game stretch was a zero-catch performance. Williams remains a boom/bust flex option for fantasy managers heading into a potentially favorable Week 10 matchup against the Washington Commanders.
