Caleb Douglas vs. Patriots — Flashing Big-Play Upside After Two-Touchdown Week
Douglas returned from an ankle injury in Week 7 to catch two passes for 70 yards and two scores against the Jets, solidifying his role as an outside starter alongside fellow rookie Chris Bell. With Malik Willis running the offense, Douglas proved dangerous after the catch, racking up 43 yards after contact.
Despite the explosive showing, Douglas saw only three targets last week, keeping his floor relatively low. Our weekly projection expects modest volume with roughly 3 catches for 40 yards on around five targets (8.4 fantasy points). As seven-point home underdogs against New England, negative game script could boost passing opportunities, making Douglas a viable upside flex in deeper leagues.

Dylan Sampson at Pittsburgh: Modest Rotational Role in a Defensive Slog
Dylan Sampson returned from injured reserve last week and looked explosive, tallying 77 total yards on nine touches against Tennessee. Operating as Cleveland's clear change-of-pace back behind Quinshon Judkins, Sampson has re-established his role in the offense and enters Week 8 without an injury designation.
While his pass-catching ability provides standalone utility, touches will likely be limited in an AFC North rivalry with a low projected total. Our models project Sampson for roughly 34 total yards and two receptions, totaling 6.6 fantasy points. Rostered in 17% of leagues, he remains a bench stash or deep-league flex play.
