CURTIS SAMUEL NEWS

Minimal production in loss Samuel caught both of his targets for eight yards and handled one carry for seven yards in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Ravens.

Impact Samuel played 37 percent of the Bills' offensive snaps Sunday, his highest snap share of the season. Even so, the veteran wideout's role in Buffalo's offense continues to be minimal. Through four weeks, Samuel has recorded just eight catches for 49 yards. Buried on the depth chart behind Khalil Shakir (ankle), Keon Coleman, Mack Hollins and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, the 28-year-old is extremely difficult to trust for consistent fantasy production. Samuel's next opportunity to get more involved will be a Week 5 matchup against the Texans.

Four touches against Jacksonville Samuel reeled in all three of his targets for 22 yards in Monday's 47-10 win over the Jaguars. He also handled one carry for no gain.

Impact Samuel continued his quiet start to the 2024 campaign, as quarterback Josh Allen completed passes to 10 different players Monday. The veteran wideout played just 17 offensive snaps in the contest. With limited playing time, Samuel is not seeing enough usage to be very useful for fantasy. The 28-year-old will look to get things going in Week 4 when the Bills visit the Ravens.

Slow start continues Samuel caught one of two targets for three yards in Thursday's 31-10 win over Miami.

Impact Samuel has just four targets through two games. His lack of involvement could be due to the lingering effects of a turf toe injury he had heading into the season, though that hasn't affected Samuel's practice reps. Regardless of the cause, Samuel's modest role thus far will make him tough to trust in Week 3 against the Jaguars.

Two grabs in win Samuel reeled in both of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Samuel operated as the Bills' fourth wide receiver Sunday, playing just 17 of Buffalo's 62 offensive snaps behind Keon Coleman (45), Mack Hollins (36) and Khalil Shakir (33). The first look at the receiving corps in Buffalo provided some clarity as to how Samuel could be deployed in the offense, as the 28-year-old was minimally involved despite the Bills finding themselves in a pass-heavy game script for much of the contest. Samuel will look to get more involved in Week 2 when the Bills visit the Dolphins.

Avoids Week 1 injury designation Samuel (toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Samuel has been dealing with turf toe, but he never seemed to be in any danger of sitting out the regular-season opener, as Samuel was a full participant in all three of Buffalo's practices during the week. He'll make his Bills debut as part of a remade receiving corps vying for the attention of star quarterback Josh Allen. Khalil Shakir and rookie Keon Coleman are also expected to play prominent roles, with Mack Hollins and Marquez Valdes-Scantling on hand for depth.

To practice fully Samuel (toe) is slated to practice fully Wednesday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Samuel has been dealing with a turf toe issue, but the wideout's looming full participation Wednesday has him on track to be available for Sunday's season opener against the Cardinals. Samuel thus appears set to claim a key role in a re-tooled Buffalo WR corps that also includes Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Mack Hollins and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (neck). With Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis no longer in the mix, targets are up for grabs in the Bills offense and beginning in Week 1, the versatile Samuel will have an opportunity to claim his share of them.

Taking practice reps Samuel (toe) participated in the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.

Impact Samuel is practicing in at least a limited capacity while wearing full pads Wednesday, which is a notable step in the right direction as he works to get healthy for Week 1. The versatile 28-year-old looks set for a significant role in Buffalo's wide receiver corps, when healthy, but total clarity on his status for the regular-season opener against Arizona on Sept. 8 won't arrive until next week, when the Bills first injury reports of the year are released.

Impact "I feel like those two, from what I've heard so far, have a real good chance of being back, just not committing to it yet," McDermott said of the injured pass-catching duo. Added context regarding Samuel's status for the Bills' Sept. 8 contest against the Cardinals will arrive no later than the posting of the team's initial practice/injury report ahead of Week 1, but once the 28-year-old is healthy he'll have a chance to claim a key role in Buffalo's re-tooled wide receiver corps.

Week-to-week Samuel is week-to-week due to turf toe, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site and Adam Schefter of ESPN report.

Impact Meanwhile, Marquez Valdes-Scantling (neck) could miss multiple weeks, so the Bills' WR depth is being challenged ahead of Week 1. For now, the team's top options at the position are Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman, with Mack Hollins and KJ Hamler candidates to see added reps for any length of time Samuel is sidelined.

Making noise at camp Samuel has been a standout through the first two days of Bills training camp, Anthony Cover of Cover 1 Sports reports.

Impact Samuel's explosiveness and versatility have flashed early at training camp, per Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard, and those are traits that could be maximized in offensive coordinator Joe Brady's familiar scheme. It was while paired with Brady that Samuel enjoyed a career year with Carolina in 2020, surpassing 1,000 yards from scrimmage. He now faces opportunity in a high-powered offense significant competition, but no truly solidified pecking order. Rookie second-round pick Keon Coleman projects as the clearest fit for perimeter snaps, while Khalil Shakir and Samuel could suffer from overlap in the slot. Second-year TE Dalton Kincaid also threatens to dominate targets. Still, Samuel's unique set of tools could also lead to him earning designed plays and backfield touches, which could bring notable fantasy value if he's able to consistently make plays outside of three-wide sets.
