Who Should I Start? Curtis Samuel or Nick Westbrook-Ikhine

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel (hamstring) will be limited in the team's training camp practice on Friday, according to Bills beat writer Maddy Glab. Samuel should be ready for the start of the regular season in three weeks, but for fantasy purposes, he's not even in RotoBaller's top 100 receivers. The 29-year-old was barely heard from in 2024 in his first year in Buffalo, catching 31 of his 46 targets for 253 yards and one touchdown in 14 regular-season games (two starts). There's no reason to believe that he'll have a bigger role this season, and he's currently competing for a depth role with Joshua Palmer and Elijah Moore behind Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman. With the Bills offense spreading things around, it's highly unlikely that Samuel is going to be on the fantasy radar in most leagues in 2025.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine is back at practice after missing June minicamp due to an undisclosed injury. He had a good day on Friday when he caught a 25-yard pass from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. It's nice to see the two of them building chemistry together. Westbrook-Ikhine signed a two-year, $5.99 million deal with the Dolphins over the offseason. He hauled in 32 receptions for 497 receiving yards and nine touchdowns in 17 games with the Tennessee Titans last season. He figures to be the third wideout behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
