Curtis Samuel Fantasy Football Outlook (2024)

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Aug 15th 2024, 2:19pm EDT

The last time we saw Curtis Samuel in a Joe Brady offense, he finished as the WR27 in fantasy points per game with 1,051 total yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns. While I don't think we see that type of resurgence from Samuel, he could surpass his WR48 standing last year, catching passes from Josh Allen. Last year, Samuel only managed a 14.7% target share with a 7.1 aDOT and 1.60 yards per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). None of those numbers really make the senses perk up, but he could be utilized more out wide this year which would be great for Samuel. Last year, from the perimeter, among 109 qualifying receivers, he ranked 30th in yards per route run (2.12). The year prior, he posted a 1.84 yards per route run mark from the outside. Samuel could fight Kincaid for the team lead in targets while adding value on the ground. He should be the first Bills' wide receiver drafted this year.
