JuJu Smith-Schuster's Role Diminishing as Teammates Excel

Saturday, November 8, 10:29 AM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster has fallen off the fantasy radar after three lower-volume outings. The veteran receiver saw his snap share fall from 63 percent to 36 percent when Rashee Rice returned from suspension in Week 7, and he's been held to fewer than one-third of the snaps ever since then. During that three-week span, he had six total catches, bottoming out last week with just one target, one catch, and two receiving yards. The 28-year-old now finds himself behind Rice, Travis Kelce, Xavier Worthy, and Marquise Brown in the pecking order. As long as those pass catchers stay healthy, Smith-Schuster will remain off the fantasy radar on the other side of the Chiefs' Week 10 bye.

Curtis Samuel Ruled Out for Week 13

Friday, November 28, 12:20 PM

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver Curtis Samuel (elbow, knee) will not play on Sunday in Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to Maddy Glab of BuffaloBills.com. Samuel will miss a second straight game, and it's unclear if the 29-year-old will be able to return for a Week 14 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. Samuel has not been on the fantasy radar at all in 2025, as he's caught only seven passes on nine targets for 81 yards and one touchdown on the year. He was unable to take advantage of second-year wideout Keon Coleman being benched for the last two games for disciplinary reasons. Samuel was off the fantasy radar in most leagues last year as well in Buffalo, as he had a weak 31-253-1 line in 14 regular-season games.
