Curtis Samuel Gets Involved In Preseason Opener

Curtis Samuel Gets Involved In Preseason Opener

4 months ago

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel made his team debut in Saturday afternoon's preseason loss to the visiting Chicago Bears in Orchard Park, grabbing both of his two passes for 23 yards in the defeat. To jump-start Buffalo's 18-play scoring drive in the first half, quarterback Josh Allen connected with Samuel for 15 yards on a screen pass to the right. Although Samuel registered a measly 9.9 yards per reception over 62 catches with the Washington Commanders a year ago, he's set to operate as one of the Bills' regulars in three-receiver sets along with rookie second-rounder Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir in 2024. The 28-year-old veteran wideout is going to need an uptick in volume if he wants to work his way onto the weekly WR4/flex radar this fall, considering it's rather unlikely he'll make a significant number of splashy plays, but Samuel should also get some work on the ground to furnish a high floor in fantasy.
