Head coach Sean McDermott noted that Samuel (rib) will be limited in Friday's practice and listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports. Samuel was also deemed limited in Wednesday's walk-through along with Thursday's practice, as he manages a rib issue. In any case, now that Keon Coleman is back in action after missing time with a wrist injury, Samuel looks like a hit-or-miss fantasy option in a Buffalo wideout corps that also includes Amari Cooper, Khalil Shakir and Mack Hollins. In 13 games this season, Samuel has posted a 24/201/1 receiving line on 38 targets, while adding five carries for 14 yards.

Head coach Sean McDermott noted that Samuel (rib) will be limited in Friday's practice and listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports. Samuel was also deemed limited in Wednesday's walk-through along with Thursday's practice, as he manages a rib issue. In any case, now that Keon Coleman is back in action after missing time with a wrist injury, Samuel looks like a hit-or-miss fantasy option in a Buffalo wideout corps that also includes Amari Cooper, Khalil Shakir and Mack Hollins. In 13 games this season, Samuel has posted a 24/201/1 receiving line on 38 targets, while adding five carries for 14 yards.
Samuel (ribs) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. The Bills held a walkthrough Wednesday, and Samuel remained limited in the first official practice of the week Thursday due to a rib injury he suffered in Buffalo's Week 15 win over Detroit. Samuel's snap count diminished due to the return of rookie wideout Keon Coleman, and the former shouldn't have a heavy role in the Bills' offense against the Patriots on Sunday if he does suit up. Over his last five games, Samuel has logged 12 catches (on 19 targets) for 109 yards and one touchdown while adding eight rushing yards on two carries.
Samuel (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant after Wednesday's walk-through practice. Samuel injured his shoulder during Sunday's 48-42 win over Detroit and made an early exit in the fourth quarter. He got 27.8 percent snap share and 28.6 percent route share through the first three quarters, dropping back to the No. 5 receiver role with Keon Coleman returning from an elbow injury. An absence against the Patriots this Sunday wouldn't have much impact, apart from slightly boosting playing time projections for Buffalo's other wide receivers.
Samuel exited Sunday's game against the Lions with a shoulder injury. Prior to that, Samuel caught his only target for one yard. In his absence, Amari Cooper, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and Mack Hollins are available to handle Buffalo's wideout duties versus Detroit.
Samuel caught two of three targets for 15 yards and rushed once for one yard in Sunday's 44-42 loss to the Rams. Samuel played 36 of the Bills' 60 offensive snaps Sunday, behind Khalil Shakir (47) and Mack Hollins (46), but ahead of Amari Cooper (32). The veteran wideout continued what has been a mostly disappointing season in Buffalo, recording just 23 receptions for 200 yards and one touchdown in 12 appearances this season. Samuel has also found little success on the ground this season, totaling just five rushes for 14 yards in the 2024 campaign. Due to his inconsistent and underwhelming production, Samuel should not be trusted for fantasy purposes going forward. The Bills will visit the Lions in Week 15.
Samuel (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Rams. Samuel upgraded to full practice participation Friday after a pair of limited sessions, eliminating any doubt about his availability for Sunday's matchup at SoFi Stadium. He has just 185 receiving yards and one touchdown in what has been a disappointing first season in Buffalo, and Samuel will likely see limited usage against the Rams, especially if rookie wideout Keon Coleman (questionable, wrist) suits up.
Samuel (foot) was limited at practice Thursday. With back-to-back limited listings Wednesday and Thursday, Samuel will presumably need to practice fully Friday in order to approach Sunday's game against the Rams without an injury designation. The same applies to fellow wideout Keon Coleman (wrist), who hasn't played since Week 9. If Coleman is able to return to action this weekend, Samuel's Week 14 fantasy upside figures to take a hit, with Amari Cooper and Khalil Shakir also in the mix.
Samuel (foot) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's walk-through. The veteran wideout played 20 offensive snaps and took one carry for seven yards in Sunday night's blowout win over the 49ers. However, it now appears he picked up a foot injury in the process. Samuel's practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely offer the best insight into whether he can suit up in Week 14, when the Bills face the Rams.
Samuel rushed once for seven yards in Sunday's 35-10 win over the 49ers. Samuel failed to record a single target Sunday, marking the first time Josh Allen has not looked his way through the air this season. The veteran wideout continued his mostly disappointing 2024 campaign, as he now has recorded just 21 catches for 185 yards and one touchdown, adding four rushes for 13 yards through 11 games. Samuel remains difficult to trust for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 14 matchup with the Rams.
