Curtis Samuel Fantasy

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel was highly touted by new offensive coordinator, Joe Brady, and believes that the former Buckeye is "going to be critical" to the team's success this season. The 23-year-old had flashes of productivity during the 2019 campaign and led the Panthers' wideout corps with six receiving touchdowns. With Teddy Bridgewater now calling the shots behind center and new head coach Matt Rhule in town, Samuel has a chance to surpass his ADP expectations, making him an ideal selection in the middle rounds of fantasy drafts for the 2020 season.

Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator Joe Brady said that wide receiver Curtis Samuel "is going to be critical to our success." Brady will be Samuel's fourth offensive coordinator in as many seasons since he was the 40th overall pick in 2017. "I think Curtis is a playmaker. He fits the mold of what we're looking for in this type of offense. A guy that you can utilize all around the field," Brady said. Samuel appeared in all 16 games last year for the first time and improved across the board from 2018, recording 15 more receptions (54) and 133 more receiving yards (626) after seeing 40 more targets (105). He led the team in receiving touchdowns with six. Week-to-week consistency will be key for Samuel as he adjusts to a new quarterback and new system. With Robby Anderson added to the mix and Christian McCaffrey still the touch hog in this offense, Samuel will likely be an inconsistent WR5/flex in deeper formats.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel could have his best season to date in 2020. Though he could produce even more than in the past with the stability of new signal-caller Teddy Bridgewater, he isn't expected to surpass the statistical output of D.J. Moore. The speedster out of Ohio State did lead the Panthers with six touchdown receptions in 2019 but was outpaced by Moore in receiving yards and targets by a large margin. He is ranked down in the overall rankings for fantasy drafts this upcoming season. However, he could easily outperform his ADP expectations, especially if Moore or the newly acquired Robby Anderson misses time this upcoming year. Target him as a mid-to-late round flier in all formats, regardless of size.
