Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel (illness) was absent at practice on Thursday for a second straight day.
Samuel and Jahan Dotson (hamstring) have both started the week with consecutive missed practices, potentially setting up Dyami Brown for a larger role in Week 5 against the Tennessee Titans. Last week, Samuel didn't record a rush attempt for the first time this season and he had season-lows in targets (7), catches (4), and yards (38).
Samuel is the WR45 in numberFire's Week 5 PPR rankings and our models project him for 6.7 offensive opportunities with 45.0 yards from scrimmage on Sunday. The Titans have allowed the fourth-most FanDuel points to the wide receiver position this season.
