Who Should I Start? Curtis Samuel or Josh Reynolds

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.

New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hip) was placed on the injured reserve on Saturday. Reynolds popped up on the injury report on Friday due to a hip issue. It appears that the injury was pretty serious as Reynolds will miss the next four games. That being said, Reynolds won't be able to return until the last game in November. The Jets will now be using a wide receiver group of Arian Smith, Allen Lazard, and Tyler Johnson for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Reynolds can be dropped in most fantasy formats as he wasn't doing much anyway.
