Who Should I Start? Curtis Samuel or Keon Coleman

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.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman continues to operate as an every-down receiver, logging 86% of the team's snaps in Week 6. Despite the playing time, Coleman has failed to eclipse 50 receiving yards in any game since their Week 1 matchup with the Ravens. With his target share limited, Coleman has become tough to trust on an offense that has spread the ball around in the passing game and leaned heavily on their rushing attack. With Joshua Palmer (knee/ankle) out and Dalton Kincaid (oblique) questionable, Coleman could see a rise in targets, but will need to show some consistency before jumping back into a fantasy lineup. Continue to proceed cautiously with the young receiver.
