ANALYSIS: Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel bounced back from a rough patch of games in Week 12. The Commanders throw the ball often and tend to be trailing which could allow for solid volume from the 27-year-old.
Samuel's rostership has dropped quite a bit after a five-week stretch between Weeks 7-11 which included one week where he was inactive and a couple of other weeks where he was injured and left early. In Weeks 1-6, Samuel played between 62% and 74% of the team's snaps in every game. From Weeks 7-11, due to injuries, Samuel played between 16% and 55%. That explains why his scoring dropped significantly. His playing time picked up this past weekend and so did his fantasy production. He had 12 targets, nine receptions, and 100 yards en route to 14.5 half-PPR points.
If we eliminate this stretch of injury-shortened contests and only look at Weeks 1-6 and Week 12, Samuel is averaging 10.9 half-PPR points per game. Of those seven games, he has three with seven or more targets and four with five or more catches. When he's been healthy, he's been more productive than Jahan Dotson and should be viewed as a decent WR3. Washington is the most pass-heavy offense in the NFL and their defense is one of the worst. This combination will ensure that there will always be good weekly passing volume.
