Washington Commanders wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. has been cleared from the injury report ahead of Monday Night Football against the Kansas City Chiefs. Samuel missed only one game due to the heel injury that he's been managing for a few weeks, and will be joined by fellow wide receiver Terry McLaurin, who returns from a four-game absence because of a quadriceps injury. Samuel has enjoyed an outstanding bounce-back season with Washington through six games, catching 34 of his 43 targets for 315 yards and three touchdowns, and has added eight rushes for 45 yards and another score on the ground. McLaurin's return could take away a few targets, but Samuel has operated as the focal point of the passing attack in his absence. He's shown more downfield ability this year and continues to be one of the best YAC threats in the league. RotoBaller ranks him as WR25 in PPR leagues for Week 8 against a Chiefs defense that has allowed the second-fewest PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle, knee) will not play in Week 8 on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Tight end Dalton Kincaid (oblique) is also questionable and is in danger of missing a second straight game, so the Bills' offense could be a little short-handed on the road in Carolina as they come out of their bye week. If Kincaid misses a second straight game, look for receivers Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman to have higher fantasy ceilings with more targets from quarterback Josh Allen. Veteran Curtis Samuel, Tyrell Shavers, and Elijah Moore could also see the field more this weekend with Palmer out. The 26-year-old Palmer has been inconsistent in his first year in Buffalo, catching 14 of 20 targets for 234 yards and no touchdowns in six games. His next chance to play will be in Week 9 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
