Curtis Samuel A Desperation Play In Week 4

Thursday, September 28, 5:38 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel could be in play for desperate teams in Week 4. Washington is taking on the Philadelphia Eagles on the road as 8.5-point underdogs. With the Commanders projected to be playing from behind, they may have to heavily rely on the passing game to stay within reach. With that in mind, Samuel could be considered as a sneaky fill-in. He doesn't hold much value as an option for typical rosters, but he offers intrigue as a volume-based play in extremely deep leagues. Start him as a last-resort option in Week 4.

K.J. Osborn Puts Up Mixed Results In Week 2

Friday, September 15, 1:27 AM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn brought in 3-of-6 targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 34-28 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The 26-year-old got free in the flat for a nice 18-yard gain in the second quarter to push Minnesota over midfield. Osborn later committed a costly forth-quarter drop, but atoned for it by coming wide open for a 10-yard score later in that series to close the gap, making it a one-score game. It's worth noting he started the next drive with another drop, though. Osborn out-snapped rising rookie Jordan Addison 56-40, but the 2023 first-rounder is clearly threatening for more action after scoring another touchdown in this one. Despite the decent line, Osborn is an uninspiring Week 3 FLEX option when Minnesota takes on the visiting Los Angeles Chargers.
