Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson has shown some ability in the passing attack when given the chance this season, hauling in at least five passes twice this season. He will look to stay active through the air in a Week 11 home matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens have struggled against running backs this season, allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to the position. That being said, Sampson doesn't have a guaranteed workload behind fellow rookie Quinshon Judkins, who carried the ball 22 times in a loss to the New York Jets in Week 10. Fantasy managers counting on Sampson will have to hope he does his damage through the air against the Ravens, which is entirely possible if the Browns get down early and have to abandon the run. Sampson sets up as a low-end flex option in PPR leagues for this weekend.

Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson lost four yards on his two carries while catching his lone target for a three-yard gain in a 27-20 loss to the New York Jets in Week 10. Sampson worked well behind starter Quinshon Judkins, who handled 22 carries while catching two passes in the close loss. This comes just two weeks after Sampson showed a flash of fantasy relevance by catching five passes for 29 yards. Sampson remains a solid stash in deeper dynasty leagues but he doesn't hold much value in redraft formats as he would likely have to split work with Jerome Ford if Judkins were forced to miss time at any point this season. Sampson will take on the Baltimore Ravens at home in Week 11.

Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson has shown skills in the passing attack this season, most recently hauling in five of his six targets for 29 yards in a Week 8 loss to the New England Patriots. Sampson will now take on the New York Jets on the road in Week 10 after enjoying his bye in Week 9. The Jets have struggled against the run this season, allowing the eighth-most fantasy points per game to running backs thus far. That being said, Sampson is tough to trust in fantasy as the Browns have been relying heavily on Quinshon Judkins in the rushing attack. Sampson will need to do his damage in the passing game to return fantasy value, something that is not a given in a game where the Browns are two-point road favorites against New York.

Cleveland Browns rookie running back Dylan Sampson saw his biggest volume since the season opener in the Week 8 loss to the New England Patriots, when fellow rookie Quinshon Judkins left the game in the third quarter due to a shoulder injury. The Browns had their bye in Week 9 and are getting ready to face the New York Jets this Sunday in Week 10. The 21-year-old Sampson was a speculative waiver-wire addition for fantasy managers who need help at the RB position, but it remains to be seen how much the fourth-rounder will be involved this weekend now that Judkins has been removed from the injury report. Barring a setback, Judkins should be fine to face the Jets as Cleveland's lead back. Sampson had a season-high 12 carries in Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals, but since then, he hasn't had more than four totes in a single game. It's looking like Sampson won't be a realistic starting option in fantasy lineups this weekend.

Cleveland Browns rookie running back Dylan Sampson has recorded 184 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 48 touches across the first eight games of his NFL career. Coming out of Cleveland's Week 9 bye, Sampson could be his team's RB1. Star Browns rookie Quinshon Judkins (shoulder) suffered an AC joint sprain in his shoulder in Week 8 that could keep him sidelined in Week 10 when Cleveland takes on the New York Jets. Even if Judkins misses Week 10, Sampson would likely still split backfield work with veteran back Jerome Ford. Still, Sampson has definite fantasy appeal as the potential lead back in a very favorable matchup against the Jets. Fantasy managers in PPR-scoring leagues with 12 or more teams should target Sampson on the waiver wire leading into Week 10.

The Cleveland Browns are on their bye in Week 9, but rookie running back Dylan Sampson could be in line for the lead-back role in Week 10 when the team takes on the New York Jets. Fellow rookie Quinshon Judkins left the Week 8 loss to the New England Patriots in the third quarter with an AC joint sprain in his shoulder that could keep him sidelined coming out of the bye week. Sampson didn't have any rushing yards on only three carries in the blowout loss to the Patriots, but he did contribute five receptions for 29 yards, and he figures to be the Browns' first choice for RB1 duties in Week 10 if Judkins isn't ready to go. The 21-year-old fourth-round pick out of Tennessee is only rostered in 17% of Yahoo leagues, but that number should jump up next week if Judkins does not return to practice. The Browns also have Jerome Ford, but he's a candidate to be dealt by next Tuesday's trade deadline.

Cleveland Browns rookie running back Dylan Sampson is worth a look on the waiver wire in fantasy football this week after fellow rookie RB Quinshon Judkins (shoulder) was forced out of the Week 8 loss to the New England Patriots and did not return. Sampson ended up playing a season-high 46% of the offensive snaps while carrying the ball three times for no yards in the 32-13 blowout loss. However, the 21-year-old also caught five of his six targets in the passing game for 29 yards. Both Sampson and Ford should have bigger roles in Cleveland's backfield if Judkins misses additional time, but the fact that the Browns are going into their bye in Week 9 should make fantasy managers temper their waiver-wire bids for Sampson. Sampson's eight touches were the most he had seen since the regular-season opener. If Judkins isn't ready in Week 10 against the New York Jets, Sampson should lead the team's backfield.

Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson has been lightly used over the past few weeks. He continued that trend in a 31-6 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 7 as he saw just four touches in the blowout win. Sampson will hope to hear his number called more frequently in Week 8 when he heads on the road to take on the New England Patriots. The Patriots have been tough on the run this season, allowing just the 27th-most fantasy points per game to the running back position. Due to his lack of involvement in the Cleveland offense, Sampson would not be a recommended fantasy play even if this were a good matchup for him. He should remain on fantasy benches heading into Week 8.

From RotoBaller

Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson will take on the Miami Dolphins at home in Week 7. Sampson has been quiet since a big Week 1 where he caught eight passes for 64 yards. With Quinshon Judkins dominating the backfield work, Sampson handled just five touches in a Week 6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Dolphins have struggled against the run this year as their defense is allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs thus far. That being said, Sampson is unlikely to see enough work to take advantage of the plus matchup. He is best left on fantasy benches heading into Sunday's games.
