Dylan Sampson Dynasty Value 2026

Staley’s new three-down endorsement of Judkins is the wrong direction for a Sampson workload breakout. Still, Sampson’s rookie receiving line—33 catches on 40 targets for 271 yards and two scores—shows a plausible complementary role, while Cleveland’s post-Jerome Ford backfield is otherwise thin.

HOLD. He is a useful contingent/receiving asset, not a player to chase on a handcuff narrative. His 2.7 yards per carry and 15.4% carry share last year leave a wide gap between third-down usefulness and a lead role; retain him in deeper formats and reassess when preseason deployment clarifies the split.
