Should You Start or Roster Dylan Sampson?
The rookie tape screams pass-catcher. Across 15 games on just a 26.5% snap rate, Sampson turned 40 targets into 33 catches and a 1.82 yards per route run mark that ranked among the best at the position, all while drawing a 7.7% target share. The ground game lagged badly: 65 carries netted 2.69 yards a pop with zero rushing scores, a minus-0.095 EPA per play, and only 1.54 yards after contact, leaving him at RB54 on 54.6 fantasy points.
At 20, the path to volume runs through the backfield's health. With Jerome Ford gone, the third-down job is open, and Sampson already worked first-team reps while Quinshon Judkins rehabs a leg injury. Going around RB52 with an RB50 consensus rank, he's a sensible late-round dart in PPR, with real handcuff upside if Judkins misses time.

Our 2026 Preseason Outlook
The rookie tape screams pass-catcher. Across 15 games on just a 26.5% snap rate, Sampson turned 40 targets into 33 catches and a 1.82 yards per route run mark that ranked among the best at the position, all while drawing a 7.7% target share. The ground game lagged badly: 65 carries netted 2.69 yards a pop with zero rushing scores, a minus-0.095 EPA per play, and only 1.54 yards after contact, leaving him at RB54 on 54.6 fantasy points.
At 20, the path to volume runs through the backfield's health. With Jerome Ford gone, the third-down job is open, and Sampson already worked first-team reps while Quinshon Judkins rehabs a leg injury. Going around RB52 with an RB50 consensus rank, he's a sensible late-round dart in PPR, with real handcuff upside if Judkins misses time.

Dylan Sampson Fantasy Outlook FAQ
What is Dylan Sampson's fantasy outlook for the rest of the 2026 season?
Dylan Sampson projects as a pass-catching depth RB on the sideline for now for the rest of the 2026 season: waiver-wire material in 12-team PPR, 10-team PPR and half-PPR leagues. His receiving role (2.7 targets per game, 28th of 95 RBs in 2025) supports that. His efficiency (1.54 yards after contact per carry, 73rd of 95 RBs in 2025) holds him back.

Dylan Sampson is the RB55 in PPR points per game. That puts him in depth RB territory, waiver-wire material in 10-team PPR leagues.
What is Dylan Sampson's fantasy football upside?
Dylan Sampson's upside: his receiving role (2.7 targets per game, 28th of 95 RBs in 2025) gives him a weekly floor to build on and the Jets in Week 5 and the Steelers in Week 8 are top-10 matchups for RBs.
What could hurt Dylan Sampson's fantasy value?
Dylan Sampson's risks: he is on injured reserve, knee and his efficiency (1.54 yards after contact per carry, 73rd of 95 RBs in 2025) limits his scoring. See his injury status and history.
How difficult is Dylan Sampson's remaining fantasy schedule?
Favorable: of his next seven games, 3 come against a top-10 matchup for RBs and 2 against one of the stingiest defenses, by PPR points allowed to the position.
