Who Should I Start? Curtis Samuel or Tory Horton

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.

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Tory Horton (groin, shin) has been ruled out for a big Week 11 divisional contest this Sunday against the hosting Los Angeles Rams and will miss a second straight game, according to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. Just when Horton seemed to be coming on strong for the Seahawks offense in his first year -- he had four catches for 48 yards and two touchdowns in his last game on Nov. 2 against the Washington Commanders -- he gets hurt. When the 22-year-old does return to action, he'll be contending with newcomer Rashid Shaheed for targets. Veteran Cooper Kupp is also back from his injury. Horton has caught only 13 passes for 161 yards on 22 targets in his eight games played, but he's managed to find the end zone five times. Head coach Mike Macdonald said Seattle could put Horton on Injured Reserve, which would require him to miss at least four games.
