Curtis Samuel Fantasy

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel may have to play without quarterback Cam Newton (foot) against the Cardinals. With the veteran signal-caller still without a touchdown toss on the year, Samuel may actually benefit without Newton in the lineup in Week 3. Throughout two starts in 2018, Kyle Allen, who is projected to take over if Newton isn't available, made Samuel a priority during his time under center as he led the team in looks while finishing with nine receptions (17 targets) for 113 yards and a score. As a result, Samuel should be on the minds of fantasy managers as his outlook is favorable against a weak Cardinals Defense on Sunday despite having an inexperienced quarterback.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel picked things up in Week 2 against Tampa Bay, racking up 91 yards on five receptions (13 targets). After a poor showing against the Rams on Sunday that saw the 23-year-old pull in just three receptions for 32 yards, it was a positive outing to the delight of those who expect big things from the young wideout this season. Despite missing out on a potential touchdown reception as a result of an under thrown pass from quarterback Cam Newton late in the fourth quarter, he still made the most of his time on the field. Samuel and the Panthers will next head to Arizona for a Week 3 meeting with the Cardinals. Keep him going, especially in deeper fantasy leagues.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel will look to put his subpar Week 1 performance behind him on Thursday night against the visiting Buccaneers. The 23-year-old had a weak fantasy performance against the Rams, finishing with just 32 yards on three receptions (four targets). Samuel was touted for his strong showing during training camp, and while he was labeled by many to be the teams real No. 1 wideout, his poor performance on Sunday left many people disappointed. With rain in the forecast along with Christian McCaffrey virtually monopolizing the Panthers offense, Samuel is a borderline-start against Tampa in Week 2.
