Curtis Samuel Won't Play on Monday Night Against Falcons

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.

KaVontae Turpin A Sneaky Flex Play in Week 7 Against Washington

Saturday, October 18, 2:03 PM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin is set to return in Week 7 against the Commanders after missing two games with a foot sprain. Turpin is set to return alongside star WR CeeDee Lamb, both coming back from multi-game absences. Before getting injured, Turpin was an impactful weapon for Dallas, catching 11 of 13 targets for 159 yards and a touchdown in four games. Turpin is expected to resume his WR3 duties behind Lamb and George Pickens against a Washington secondary that will allow plenty of yardage to opposing wideouts. In deeper leagues, he is a potential flex play for Week 7.
