Curtis Samuel has notched at least 12 fantasy points in three straight games, averaging 14.8 per game in that stretch.

He scored touchdowns in two of his last three games, but it hasn't just been scoring giving him fantasy value, as he's up to 21 targets over those three contests.

His volume stands to fall with Devin Funchess working his way back into the lineup, but even with Funchess' return in Week 13 (playing 46% of the Carolina Panthers' offensive snaps), Samuel's 83% snap rate was his second-highest mark of the season. He also saw a career-high 11 targets in that game.

The Panthers will also be playing without Greg Olsen (foot), which leaves some additional volume to go around.

Samuel gets a decent matchup this week against a Cleveland Browns defense that has allowed the seventh-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts.
