Who Should I Start? Curtis Samuel or Michael Gallup

Saturday, September 23, 11:51 AM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel (illness) has been upgraded to no injury designation for Week 3 and will be active on Sunday to face the visiting Buffalo Bills. Safety Kamren Curl (illness) will also play. Samuel wasn't on the injury report this week until he missed practice on Friday, and the team listed him as questionable. The 27-year-old seems to have improved and will once again serve as the No. 3 wideout behind Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson this weekend. At best, Samuel is a consideration as a flex play in deep fantasy leagues. Through the first two games in 2023, the veteran pass-catcher has only eight receptions (eight targets) for 73 yards and no touchdowns.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup suddenly showed up in a Week 3 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Gallup came into the game with a total of two catches for 13 yards through the first two weeks, but ended up leading the Cowboys in catches, targets, and yards in this game. He caught six passes on seven targets, gaining 92 yards including a long gain of 27. While this was likely more of a flash in the pan than a sign of things to come, it certainly means Gallup will be a popular waiver wire target this week. Don't fall too hard for it, this passing game will always go through CeeDee Lamb.
