10 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets Heading Into Week 15
Curtis Samuel, WR, Carolina Panthers
Yahoo Ownership: 30%
Devin Funchess has been a non-factor for the Panthers since returning from his back injury, and while D.J. Moore has gotten most of the attention lately, it's actually Curtis Samuel who's had the better results of late.
Samuel hasn't dropped below 82% of the snaps the last three weeks and is coming off his second straight game of at least 80 yards. Over those last two, he has now seen more yards (168 to 111) and targets (19 to 16) than Moore. That isn't to say that Samuel is a better play than Moore after just a two-game sample size, but with Greg Olsen out for the year, and Funchess continuing to see diminished snaps, Samuel's increased role is looking more and more reliable these days.
The New Orleans Saints' defense has been tougher in recent weeks, but they've still allowed the most fantasy points to wide receivers and the Panthers-Saints game has an enticing 53.5 over/under to begin the week.
