Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel (rib) is inactive for Sunday's divisional matchup against the New England Patriots. Samuel sustained this injury during last weekend's victory over the Buffalo Bills. During the week, Samuel remained a limited participant but was unable to turn the corner. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Amari Cooper to operate as the top wideouts for Josh Allen. Samuel has had a disappointing season catching just 24 passes for 201 yards and one score.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown will face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17. Brown returned from injured reserve in Week 16 against the Houston Texans. Brown was second on the team in catches and targets on 27% of snaps in his first game back. The 27-year-old demonstrated his ability to get open in crucial situations and make explosive plays, which bodes well for his production moving forward. Brown will hope to be more involved against the Steelers, who rank ninth in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. Brown is ranked WR47 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, putting him in flex range this week. It won't be easy to start Brown in the fantasy playoffs with just one game under his belt this season, but fantasy managers can consider it.
Still trying to decide between Samuel and Brown? Check on the latest news to make sure both players are active and healthy. Our PPR projections show that Curtis Samuel is projected to score 1.2 points this week while Marquise Brown is projected to score 11.2 points.
