Impact It isn't yet clear if Samuel is dealing with a setback in his recovery from the groin injury that sidelined him for the first three games of the season, as the team could just be resting Samuel after his Washington debut in Sunday's 34-30 win over the Falcons. Still, fantasy managers can't be thrilled to see Samuel listed as a non-participant with an injury that had been nagging him since the first week of June. Coach Ron Rivera didn't provide answers about Samuel's outlook for the Week 5 game versus the Saints, merely saying that the team is "obviously going to be cautious with" the wideout, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post. The team could certainly use Samuel's help, especially after tight end Logan Thomas (hamstring) and reserve wideouts Dyami Brown (knee) and Cam Sims (hamstring) all suffered injuries during the Week 4 win.
