Curtis Samuel Fantasy

Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel has been on a rough stretch. After starting the season on a hot streak, he's continuously seen a decrease in targets every week. He saved his day in Week 11 with a rushing touchdown, but the trend is concerning for his rest-of-season outlook. Washington is facing a rough Atlanta Falcons defense that has allowed the second most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers this season. Even with the recent lack of usage for the sixth-year receiver, we should still consider him a low-end flex option due to the favorable matchup.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel caught one-of-two targets for 10 yards along with two carries for 18 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Houston Texans. The sixth-year wide receiver had a quiet day with only three total touches in this matchup. Since Taylor Heinicke took over as quarterback, Samuel's usage has gone down from his early season numbers where he'd see at least six targets per game. With Heinicke named the starter for the time being, it's unlikely we see that usage again. A rushing touchdown saved his day, but it's hard to feel confident about the 26-year-old moving forward.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel (shin) and tight end Logan Thomas (ribs) are both available for the Week 11 matchup against the Houston Texans. There was some concern that they might miss this game after getting in limited practice sessions this week. However, it appears both players will be ready to play, barring any setbacks. Samuel doesn't have the same flex appeal that he used to with Jahan Dotson healthy right now. Despite that, Samuel could still have some low-end flex appeal because of how bad the Texans secondary looks at the moment. Thomas has barely made an impact and isn't worth a look in almost any fantasy formats.
