Who Should I Start? Curtis Samuel or Tory Horton

Buffalo Bills veteran wide receiver Curtis Samuel is once again a healthy inactive for Sunday's Week 2 divisional contest on the road against the New York Jets. Samuel was also a healthy scratch for the season-opening win over the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday night. Right now, the 29-year-old is buried on Buffalo's receiver depth chart, thanks to the offseason additions of Joshua Palmer and Elijah Moore. Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Tyrell Shavers are also ahead of him. Samuel should remain on the waiver wire in all fantasy formats for now. In his first year with Buffalo in 2024, he caught 31 of his 46 targets for 253 yards and only one touchdown in 14 regular-season games (two starts).

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tory Horton is not someone who should be on fantasy rosters right now. He is certainly not worth starting in Week 2 when Seattle visits the Pittsburgh Steelers. Horton won the No. 3 wide receiver role during the preseason, but he only played 54% of the snaps in Week 1 and was not targeted. He has a role as a returner, but that does not present much fantasy value. Horton has a lot of promise. He is a big, fifth-round rookie who played excellent ball during the preseason. However, the Seahawks' offense is a work in progress and is nowhere near being able to produce three fantasy-relevant players. Horton's usage is worth watching as the season wears on because he could turn up the heat in the second half. For now, Horton is best left on waivers.
