Curtis Samuel joining the Buffalo Bills qualifies as one such development.</p><p>The veteran wide receiver <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bills-news-sign-ex-commanders-wr-curtis-samuel-3-year-24-million-contract" rel="noopener">signed a three-year, $24 million deal</a> to reunite with offensive coordinator Joe Brady, who served the same role with the Carolina Panthers in 2020 and 2021. Brady and Samuel were together in Carolina for just the 2020 season, but that was Samuel’s best as a pro, when he finished with a career-high 77 catches and 851 yards to go with three touchdowns.</p><p>This was a signing the Bills had to make. They had already <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grading-gabe-davis-3-year-39-million-contract-jaguars" rel="noopener">lost Gabe Davis to the Jacksonville Jaguars</a> and don’t have much in their receiving room outside of Stefon Diggs and Khalil Shakir. Samuel is a very dynamic and versatile player who can line up anywhere on the field. He will be a solid weapon for Josh Allen and the Bills. But how he fits warrants a grade and further analysis of the signing.</p><h2><b>Grading Bills’ Curtis Samuel signing</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Bills-Curtis-Samuel-playing-for-Commanders.jpeg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Eric Hartline-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Gabe Davis and Curtis Samuel are very different, the latter a more well-rounded player who can help Buffalo in ways Davis never did. The data backs it up.</p><p>Davis was mostly a field stretcher for the Bills and relied a bit too much on Allen looking for him deep. His average <a href="https://www.playerprofiler.com/nfl/gabriel-davis/">depth of target was 15 yards</a> downfield, according to playerprofiler.com, ranking eighth among all wide receivers. In 2022, Davis’ average depth of target was 15.2 yards and the year prior it was 13.4. Going deep is seemingly the only arrow Davis has in his quiver.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">New Jaguars WR Gabe Davis' 2023 <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ReceptionPerception?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ReceptionPerception</a> profile</p><p>– 53.8% success rate vs. man coverage<br>– 76.3% success rate vs. zone <br>– 51% success rate vs. press<br>– All three marks are below the 31st percentile</p><p>Davis brings value as a vertical X-receiver who can burn downfield and… <a href="https://t.co/fqgbjojYxA">pic.twitter.com/fqgbjojYxA</a></p><p>— Matt Harmon (@MattHarmon_BYB) <a href="https://twitter.com/MattHarmon_BYB/status/1767240832220844373?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 11, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>That led to some big games from Davis. No one can forget the 201 yard, four-touchdown game he put up against the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2021 Divisional Round. But his style of game and role in Buffalo’s offense also led to some duds.</p><p>Davis had more games with zero yards (four) in Buffalo than he did with 100 yards (three). Because he wasn’t able to punish defenses in different ways, it allowed them to take away Davis as a deep threat and send help on Diggs to make sure he didn’t burn them, either.</p><p>Things should be different now with Samuel in his spot. Davis had a 53.8% success rate vs. man coverage in 2023, as noted by Matt Harmon of Yahoo! Sports. That ranked below the 31st percentile in his database. Samuel’s, however, finished in the 88th percentile against man coverage last season.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Curtis Samuels success rate vs man coverage was in the 88th percentile based on 3 straight seasons.</p><p>This is from <a href="https://twitter.com/MattHarmon_BYB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@MattHarmon_BYB</a> of Reception Perception, he also notes that Curtis can thrive in many roles, which he will be asked to do here in Buffalo under Joe Brady.</p><p>Join me at… <a href="https://t.co/U63ZMVWU3l">pic.twitter.com/U63ZMVWU3l</a></p><p>— Thomas DeLaus (@TheThomasDeLaus) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheThomasDeLaus/status/1768404220418347209?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 14, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Samuel can masquerade as the deep threat Davis was in this Bills’ offense. Though that wasn’t how he was used in Washington over the last three seasons, he was deployed in that fashion over his time in Carolina. In 2019, Samuel’s average <a href="https://www.playerprofiler.com/nfl/curtis-samuel/" rel="noopener">depth of target was 14.4 yards</a>, which ranked 18th among wide receivers. He registered 27 deep targets, eighth-most at the position in that department.</p><p>The problem was his quarterback play. Samuel’s target quality rating was 101st among wide receivers that season and only 62.6% of his targets were deemed catchable. That will happen when the quarterbacks throwing him the ball included an injured Cam Newton, Kyle Allen and Taylor Heinicke. That shouldn’t be an issue with Allen.</p><p>Samuel can win and add value in the short to intermediate passing game, too. His average depth of target was just 6.6 yards in 2023, but he still averaged 1.51 yards per route run. That’s not a great number, but considering his role and competition for targets, it’s pretty impressive. He also added 260 yards after the catch, which ranked 39th among receivers.</p><p>Davis was a really good player for the Bills, but Samuel is an upgrade over him. He also will cost Buffalo less. Davis signed a three-year, $39 million deal with the Jaguars that includes $24 million guaranteed. Samuel got $24 million that can go up to $30 million if he hits certain incentives over the same duration, but received only $15 million guaranteed. That’s great business by the Bills.</p><p>Buffalo needed some more versatility in their offense. They got it with Curtis Samuel. Not only that, but they got him at a discount compared to some of the other receivers who signed deals. This was a great deal for them and Samuel. Hopefully he looks even better in Buffalo on the field than he does on paper.</p><p><b>Grade: A</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

What better way than to reunite with someone from his past.</p><p>Beane was in the Panthers front office when the franchise drafted Samuel in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft. Moreover, Buffalo offensive coordinator Joe Brady served the same job with Carolina during the 27-year-old wideout’s last season with the team (2020-21). Samuel’s stint with Brady as his OC, which included 77 receptions, more than 1,000 yards from scrimmage and five total touchdowns, remains the best year of his NFL career.</p><p>Hence, there is reason to believe this reunion can breed favorable results in Orchard Park. Samuel earned decent numbers (62 catches for 613 yards) as a supporting option on a Commanders squad that consistently weathered offensive limitations. He now returns to his home state to work alongside one of the best quarterbacks in the league.</p><p>The Curtis Samuel signing comes after Mack Hollins already <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bills-news-buffalo-adds-new-josh-allen-weapon-former-falcons-raiders-wide-receiver" rel="noopener">agreed to join</a> the Bills’ revamped WR room. With Stefon Diggs, Dalton Kincaid and Khalil Shakir all likely to be critical components of the offense next season, these additions should give Josh Allen more pass-catching weapons to utilize against the Kansas City Chiefs and the rest of the AFC.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

An AFC executive told ClutchPoints that Ron Rivera’s coaching tenure with the Commanders <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/silvermans-sacks-and-scrambles-ron-riveras-commanders-time-up" rel="noopener">is in hot water</a>.</p><p>On Thursday after the game, veteran receiver Curtis Samuel was asked to give his thoughts on potential changes. His comments were similar to the general vibe of the locker room according <a href="https://twitter.com/BenStandig/status/1727867477386772615" rel="noopener">to reporter Ben Standig</a>.</p><p>“That’s not why I’m here. That’s not my role. That’s not my position on the team.

It wasn’t nearly enough as Dak Prescott threw for 331 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Cowboys to a big home win on Turkey Day.</p><p>Next up for the Commanders is a tough road test against the Dolphins.</p><p>With eight losses already on the season, it appears as if Rivera’s window with the team is closing and sooner than many fans expected.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Sure, teams can win games by dinking and dunking their way up and down a field in a slow matriculation that ticks time off of the clocks and slowly puts points on the board, but nothing’s more entertaining than a big 50-yard completion down the field for a touchdown, as it can change the momentum of a game and get both fans and players fired up. This was<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/commanders-news-ron-riveras-100000-pledge-proves-hes-a-hall-of-fame-human/" rel="noopener"> Ron Rivera</a> and the Washington Commanders’ thought process in their Sunday afternoon showdown against the Minnesota Vikings, as, on second-and-7 with 14:10 on the clock, Taylor Heinicke launched a bomb some 50 yards through the air to connect with Curtis Samuel for an explosive, momentum-stealing catch.</p><p>What?

Goodness, that’s a lucky break. </p><p>When asked about the play at the end of the game, Heinicke gave credit where credit is due, thanking the ref for the assist, <a href="https://twitter.com/NickiJhabvala/status/1589375116718534656?s=20&amp;t=vos0HMztcBFZCv3QjvUQJQ">as per Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post</a>.</p><p>“The ref made a huge play for us,” Heinicke said.</p><p>Now if only the ref was a little more helpful for the Washington Commanders’ defense, as they surrendered three-straight scores to drop the game 20-17 to secure their fifth loss of the season. *sigh* oh well, it’s still a pretty cool story.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He has only played in two games for the Washington Football Team this season. Samuel had four receptions for a total of 19 yards in Week 4 in Atlanta. In Week 5 against the Saints, Samuel <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/washington-football-team-news-wr-curtis-samuel-cant-stop-hurting-his-groin/">injured his groin again</a>.

He has recorded 230 receiving yards and two touchdowns in his seven games played this season.</p><p>Listed as questionable alongside Samuel is wide receiver Adam Humphries (hip).

Here is three bold predictions on how he will do, and how it will affect Washington.</p><h2>1.  Washington Becomes the First Team to Repeat as NFC East Champs since 2004: </h2><p><br>The Washington offense is starting to<a href="https://www.hogshaven.com/2021/3/20/22341878/daily-slop-ron-rivera-getting-improved-curtis-samuel-william-jackson-iii-swagger-washingtons-defense"> look like a formidable unit</a>. Curtis Samuel joins Terry McLaurin, and Antonio Gibson, all have blazing speed and are only getting better. Combine that with a journeyman gunslinger with nothing to lose like Ryan Fitzpatrick, and you’ve got what should be one of the most exciting offenses in the league. A far cry from the check-down heavy attack they were forced to trot out last year. Washington ranked a pitiful 31st in offensive yards per drive last year, but that number will rise to the top half of the league next year. Combining even a half-decent offense with that stellar defense, they should be an easy playoff team.               </p><h2>2.   Curtis Samuel season prediction: 975 receiving yards, 7 TDs + 120 rushing yards</h2><p>Curtis Samuel has received at least 90 targets in each of the last two seasons, and last year he was vying for playing time with D.J. Moore and Robby Anderson and still finished with 97 looks. Something that boasts well for Samuel, is when Ron Rivera was the Panthers coach in 2019 he finished with 105. It’s safe to assume that he’ll cross the 100 target threshold again. Rivera will likely utilize Samuel more as a deep threat. His average intended air yards were cut in half in 2020 compared with 2019.</p><p>He was used more like a gadget/sweep/slant guy, more than a traditional downfield wideout. I expect that to change in 2021. Samuel is a better player now and should surpass the 627 receiving yards he had in 2019 pretty easily. Samuel also gets a handful of rushing carries per season. Washington has a lot of dual-threat running backs, and should not get 41 carries again like he did last year, he’ll probably get about half of that.</p><h2>3. More Deep Passes Open Up for McLaurin, he finishes with 1300+ yards</h2><p>McLaurin is one of the most well-rounded receivers in the league. He runs crisp routes, he has blazing speed, his drop percentage was only 3.0% last year. His targets will take a big hit with Curtis Samuel around, but he should still hover around the 130 mark. The biggest change will come in his average depth of target. It should rise substantially, and Samuel will draw more safety attention.</p><p>Over the last three seasons, the average Ryan Fitzpatrick pass travels 9.0 yards in the air. None of the Washington QBs were above 6.7 in that metric. A couple more deep completions should raise his yardage total a good bit. And although Samuel might take some end zone targets away from him on jet sweeps and those little touch passes, they will be in the red zone a lot more often. McLaurin’s receiving yards rise by about 200 or so over last year, putting him at 1,300, and he ties his career-best mark in TDs with seven. </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
