Latest news

Bills WR Khalil Shakir officially OUT for Week 5

Katherine Fitzgerald

Oct 04 · 11:10 AM EDT

Sean McDermott says on WGR550 that DT Ed Oliver, WR Khalil Shakir, DT Austin Johnson, and S Taylor Rapp are OUT for Sunday’s game

Related Players: Mack Hollins, Curtis Samuel, Keon Coleman, Dalton Kincaid

Fantasy Impact:

The receiving room behind Shakir has been mostly miserable through the first month of the season, though the rookie Coleman has looked pretty good in his limited role. None of them are particularly exciting, though Coleman can be used as a desperation Flex in a game that should see him with a high route participation.

Kincaid becomes a top-5 option at the tight end position.

BUF WR Curtis Samuel - 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Over his three seasons with Washington, Curtis Samuel delivered mediocre fantasy lines with mediocre usage, but he has a chance at a career resurgence in Buffalo, reunited with OC Joe Brady. In his final year with Brady —in Carolina— Samuel finished as fantasy's WR25, with 77 receptions and 41 rush attempts. The competition for touches out of the receiving room in 2024 is minimal. Khalil Shakir should be pigeonholed for a slot role, Marquise Valez-Scantling and Chase Claypool aren't good, and rookie Keon Coleman is a raw prospect out of the gate. Samuel could very easily be the team's WR1.

Fantasy Downside
Samuel's seven-year career-high in receiving is 851 yards, and he has failed to breach 700 in any other season. If Keon Coleman catches on quickly, the team will likely want to push him into an every-down role and ease the loss of Stefon Diggs to the fanbase.

2024 Bottom Line
It's hard to grasp exactly how the team is going to use Samuel this season, but his late-round draft capital in an ambiguous situation makes him very intriguing. It would surprise no one if he and TE Dalton Kincaid become the primary pass-catching options in 2024, but Samuel has a long history of not being able to get his head above water in similar situations on other teams. He profiles as a great dart throw later in drafts, with a wide range of possible outcomes.
