It might be time to start taking the Buffalo Bills seriously, and there’s nothing coach Sean McDermott and quarterback Josh Allen can say to convince anyone otherwise

Khalil Shakir & Curtis Samuel: "It's All About Execution" | Buffalo Bills

Posts five catches, TD in Week 11 Samuel caught five of six targets for 58 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 30-21 victory versus the Chiefs.

Impact Fellow WR Keon Coleman has missed back-to-back games due to a wrist injury, and Samuel has responded with a 9-93-1 line on 14 targets during that span. Samuel even was on the receiving end of QB Josh Allen's sole TD pass from 12 yards out early in the fourth quarter to extend the Bills' lead to nine points. Buffalo has a Week 12 bye on the schedule, meaning Coleman could be back in action when the team next takes the field Sunday, Nov. 1 against the 49ers. If that comes to pass, Samuel likely would slip down the WR pecking order behind Coleman and Khalil Shakir.

Reels in four passes Samuel caught four of eight targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 30-20 win over the Colts.

Impact Samuel's eight targets and four receptions were both season-high totals in each category. Despite his increased involvement in the offense, the veteran wideout struggled to get much going against the Colts. With both Amari Cooper (wrist) and Keon Coleman (wrist) sidelined, Samuel led all Buffalo wide receivers in offensive snaps (66). Going forward, the 28-year-old should continue to struggle to see consistent usage in Buffalo's offense, especially with the impending returns of Cooper and Coleman. The Bills are set to host the Chiefs in Week 11.

Ready for Sunday Samuel (pectoral) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest at Indianapolis.

Impact Samuel sat out Week 8 in Seattle due to a pectoral injury, but he was able to suit up this past Sunday versus the Dolphins, when he failed to haul in his only target, Despite being limited in all three Week 10 practices, he'll be available Sunday along with Khalil Shakir and Mack Hollins (shoulder). Meanwhile, Keon Coleman (wrist) has been ruled out, and Amari Cooper (wrist) is listed as questionable.

NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Stays limited Thursday Samuel (pectoral) remained limited in Thursday's practice.

Impact After missing Week 8 with the injury, Samuel was able to play last Sunday against the Dolphins, seeing 26 percent of the offensive snaps. Samuel finished with zero catches on one target versus Miami and has totaled a 12-92-0 receiving line on 19 targets this season. He's well off the fantasy radar with his current role.

NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Limited practice participant Samuel (pectoral) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Impact Samuel missed Week 8 with the same injury but play in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Dolphins. He's gotten four or fewer targets and no more than one carry in each game this season, with just one instance of topping 37 percent snap share. Samuel typically plays only 25-40 percent of the snaps on offense even if the Bills have injury concerns at his position (which is the cast this week with both Amari Cooper and Keon Coleman nursing wrist injuries).

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Sunday Samuel (pectoral) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Impact Samuel had been listed as questionable after he was a limited participant in practices throughout the week while nursing the pec injury, which kept him out for last Sunday's win over the Seahawks. The Bills will be without top wideout Amari Cooper (wrist) in Week 9, potentially opening the door for Samuel to take on more snaps. However, while Cooper was out of the picture from Weeks 1 through 6 before arriving in a trade with Cleveland, Samuel wasn't a noteworthy fantasy producer, as he averaged 16.3 yards from scrimmage per contest and failed to find the end zone during that six-game stretch.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed questionable for Week 9 Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that Samuel (pectoral) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Impact After sitting out the Week 8 win over the Seahawks, Samuel was a limited participant in the Bills' first two practices of the week and evidently isn't in line to do enough work at Friday's practice to fully convince the coaching staff that he'll be ready to go Sunday. Provided Samuel is able to maintain at least limited practice activity Friday, he should still have a decent chance at playing against the Dolphins, though the 28-year-old wideout probably won't be in store for a significant role on offense if he suits up. Through his first seven games with the Bills, Samuel has played more than 50 percent of the offensive snaps on just one occasion (in Week 5), and he's yet to earn more than four touches in any of his appearances.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Limited at practice Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday that Samuel (pectoral) will be limited in practice, Chris Brown of the Bills Radio Network reports.

Impact Samuel missed Buffalo's win over Seattle in Week 8 due to a pectoral injury, one which could reasonably force him to log a multi-game absence. He was unable to practice prior to being ruled out against the Seahawks, though, so to see Samuel back as a limited participant indicates notable progress in his recovery. The depth wideout will work to retake the field during Sunday's divisional matchup against Miami.

Impact Samuel has already been ruled out for Sunday's game in Seattle, and it sounds like he's far from a lock to return Nov. 3 against the Dolphins in Week 9. He's unlikely to be play a significant role even when healthy, as Samuel has exceeded 22 receiving yards only once for a Bills passing game that will likely have even fewer targets to go around after trading for Amari Cooper last Tuesday.

Won't play Sunday Head coach Sean McDermott noted Friday that Samuel (pectoral) will be out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact Samuel didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday due to a pectoral injury, with his next chance to see game action arriving Nov. 3 against the Dolphins. In his absence this weekend, Amari Cooper, Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman are in line to lead the Bills' Week 8 WR corps, with Mack Hollins (shoulder) - if available -- and presumably a practice squad elevation or two on hand in reserve.

Absent from practice Thursday Samuel (pectoral) is not participating in Thursday's practice, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Samuel remains sidelined due to a pectoral injury that forced him out of Buffalo's win over Tennessee in Week 7. He's trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's road matchup against the Seahawks, but an absence on Samuel's part may not impact the Bills offense too notably. Through seven games this season, Samuel has yet to rack up a 100 yards from scrimmage.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

DNP due to pectoral injury Samuel (pectoral) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact Samuel left in the first quarter of Buffalo's Week 7 win over the Titans with what was deemed a shoulder injury, but it's his pectoral that kept him off the practice field Wednesday. Even if Samuel returns to practice prior to Sunday's game against the Seahawks, he isn't expected to be a key contributor, as he has only 12 catches for 92 yards this season.

Bills Still Unsure Of Health of Three Starters Defensive leader Terrel Bernard, fellow linebacker Dorian Williams and wide receiver Curtis Samuel are all questionable for Buffalo.

OCTOBER 22 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Won't return versus Tennessee Samuel (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Titans.

Impact Samuel was injured early in the first quarter and has now been deemed unable to return. He failed to catch his lone pass-game target before the injury. The Bills will roll with Amari Cooper, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and Mack Hollins for the rest of Sunday's contest.
