Who Should I Start? Curtis Samuel or Tre Harris

Monday, January 27, 2:23 AM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel caught a four-yard touchdown pass during Sunday's AFC Championship loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Samuel's score came on his only reception, but he did have three total targets in the contest. The veteran occupied a depth role throughout the 2024 season, routinely operating behind players like Khalil Shakir, Amari Cooper, Keon Coleman, and Mack Hollins. He's under contract with Buffalo through 2026, but he could face some additional competition next year if the Bills pursue a wide receiver addition during free agency or the NFL Draft. As it stands, Samuel can be avoided in most fantasy football leagues.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Tre Harris, who was selected with the No. 55 overall pick in the second round of the 2025 NFL draft last Friday, is expected to fill the team's X position in his first year in the league. Ladd McConkey broke out in his rookie campaign in 2024 in the slot, but the Chargers needed a big-bodied receiver who could stretch the field vertically outside the numbers and threaten defenses with contested-catch ability. That is what Harris does well. The 6-foot-2, 205-pounder from Ole Miss had 60 catches for 1,030 yards and seven touchdowns in eight games in 2024 and should be a nice downfield and red-zone weapon for quarterback Justin Herbert. Given the question marks surrounding Mike Williams and former first-rounder Quentin Johnston, Harris will have the opportunity to be the team's WR2 in his first year in 2025. It's a positive landing spot for an immediate fantasy impact.
