Who Should I Start? Curtis Samuel or Josh Reynolds

Sunday, July 27, 10:08 AM

According to Alex Brasky, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel (hamstring) won't participate in practice on Sunday. The Bills have decided to hold out both Samuel and linebacker Terrel Barnard due to hamstring injuries. This is tough news for Samuel who will be fighting for playing time in training camp. Currently, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Joshua Palmer are listed as the top wideouts on the depth chart. Samuel figures to be the fourth wideout, but his opportunities might be limited. The Bills also have Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox at tight end who will get touches as well. It's still early in camp, so this hamstring injury shouldn't linger into the regular season. However, Samuel already has an uphill battle ahead of him, so this injury doesn't help. For now, Samuel should be considered day-to-day until more information is revealed.

New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds is the early front-runner to take over as the team's No. 2 receiver behind Garrett Wilson this year, according to The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt. Reynolds is the only player the Jets added this offseason that has ties to new head coach Aaron Glenn and offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand from their time with the Lions. The team values Reynolds' willingness as a blocker, and he has built some nice chemistry with QB Justin Fields early on. Allen Lazard still has a role to play on this team, but as of minicamp, he appears to be behind Reynolds. The 30-year-old Reynolds dealt with injuries last year and caught only 13 passes for 194 yards and one TD with Denver and Jacksonville. It sounds like he'll have a bigger role with the Jets, but it's unlikely to yield much production for fantasy managers in what is expected to be a run-heavy offense in 2025.
