Curtis Samuel Fantasy

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel ended Week 7 with one carry for five yards and a touchdown along with six receptions for 48 yards on six targets. Samuel contributed in both the rushing and passing game this week and continues to provide modest value on this offense. He has not posted more than 28 rushing yards and 51 receiving yards this season, meaning he should only be valued as a flex at best.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (knee) is officially active for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. Samuel's been a versatile player for the Panthers, seeing work as a receiver and a running back, though from a fantasy perspective, his production hasn't been consistent enough to make him more than a deep-league flex option at this point. His return could cut into Mike Davis's carries a little, as well as Robby Anderson's targets.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (knee) is looking likely to play on Sunday against the Saints. Samuel followed the same practice routine as last week, though he didn't end up playing in that contest. It's encouraging that there's optimism ahead of an important divisional battle with the Saints. Unfortunately, Robby Anderson and D.J. Moore have commanded the lion's share of targets, leaving scraps for Samuel. He's only a last-ditch option at best, and even then, there are probably better options out there for fantasy managers.
