Who Should I Start? Curtis Samuel or Josh Reynolds

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).

New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds won't be a recommended option this weekend when he lines up against the visiting Dallas Cowboys. When healthy, the veteran is New York's clear-cut WR2 behind running mate Garrett Wilson, playing the second-most snaps of all wideouts in both games he's started. However, Reynolds has accrued only five targets in his two appearances, pulling in two for a total of 18 yards, and none in their loss to the Dolphins in Week 4. There are targets to go around in the Jets' offense, but the emergence of rookie tight end Mason Taylor and running back Breece Hall's ability as a receiver have all but rendered the 30-year-old useless for fantasy. He'll likely pick up more work as he's further removed from his recent hamstring injury, and may eventually have a few useful weeks. That said, they could be few and far between, and exceedingly difficult to predict. Reynolds is RotoBaller's PPR WR102 for this weekend's slate of action.
