Outlook Dylan Sampson
Pass-Catching Role Offers Late-Round PPR Value
Operating behind starter Quinshon Judkins, Sampson enters his second NFL season as Cleveland's primary change-of-pace option. After securing 35 receptions on 43 targets during his 2025 rookie campaign, he has carved out a distinct pass-catching role in a backfield that also features Raheim Sanders.
Our models project Sampson for 85 carries, 275 rushing yards, and 35 catches for 250 receiving yards with five total touchdowns (107.0 fantasy points). Although his rushing efficiency sat at 2.8 yards per carry last year, his passing-game floor provides stable value in PPR formats.
Market sentiment has cooled slightly over the summer, with his ADP drifting from around 151 in early July to 164 in mid-August. Rostered in 35% of leagues, Sampson represents an affordable late-round stash whose ceiling could rise if backfield opportunities expand.

Outlook Kenny Gainwell
Pass-Catching Role Secures Dependable PPR Value in Buccaneers Backfield
Operating behind Bucky Irving on the Buccaneers' depth chart, Kenny Gainwell profiles as a key rotational back and primary pass-catching specialist. Our season projections forecast 125 carries for 425 yards and 4 touchdowns on the ground, paired with 40 receptions for 325 yards and 2 scores on 68 targets.
Draft market sentiment has cooled slightly over the summer, with his ADP sliding from pick 96 in mid-July to around pick 102 in August. However, with our models projecting 171.0 total PPR points, this dip turns him into an enticing late-round value for managers seeking reliable weekly pass-game floor.
Rostered in 88% of leagues, fantasy managers primarily view Gainwell as quality backfield depth. While his modest starting rate reflects his complementary role, his pass-catching skills and splash play potential shown in training camp make him a viable PPR flex consideration with weekly upside.
