Curtis Samuel News
Friday, March 6, 8:46 AM
The Buffalo Bills are releasing wide receiver Curtis Samuel on Friday, a source told Adam Schefter of ESPN. The move comes a day after Buffalo agreed to send two draft picks to the Chicago Bears in exchange for receiver DJ Moore. It's not like Samuel was a big contributor last year, though, as he played in only six regular-season games and caught seven of his nine targets for 81 yards and one touchdown. In his first year in Buffalo in 2024, the 29-year-old caught 31 of 46 targets for 253 yards and one touchdown in 14 regular-season games (two starts). The former second-round pick by the Carolina Panthers in 2017 out of Ohio State will look to latch on with another team this offseason as veteran receiver depth. Samuel most likely won't be on the fantasy radar in the majority of leagues in 2026, even if he lands in a favorable environment.

Jayden Higgins News
Tuesday, March 24, 5:42 AM
Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins was the fifth receiver selected in the 2025 NFL Draft, and while he showed flashes in his rookie season, he was never able to consistently string together the games needed to make him a reliable weekly fantasy starter, finishing 13th among all first-year pass catchers with 41 receptions. Heading into his second season, the Texans are expecting the return of one of C.J. Stroud's favorite targets in Tank Dell, who missed all of the 2025 season following a devastating knee injury at the close of the 2024 season. Additionally, Stroud himself has fallen under scrutiny following a lackluster season punctuated by the worst game of his career in a Divisional Round loss to the Patriots. With Nico Collins all but locked into his role on the boundary, Higgins and Dell will likely compete for time in two-receiver sets in an offense that will need to improve drastically in order to support multiple pass catchers. On pure potential, Higgins might have the second-highest ceiling in the Texans' receiver room, but in order to reach it in 2026, he'll need to clear some significant obstacles.
