Outlook Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson at Pittsburgh — Committee Role in a Low-Scoring Battle
After being activated from injured reserve, Dylan Sampson looked efficient in Week 7 with 77 total yards on nine touches. However, he was limited in practice with his knee issue and is officially questionable heading into Week 8. Operating behind starter Quinshon Judkins, Sampson's rotational work faces headwinds against a stingy front. Be sure to check back for updates on his status before kickoff.
Our weekly projections slate Sampson for 6.3 fantasy points, estimating roughly four carries for 17 yards and two catches for 15 yards. In an expected low-scoring divisional grind against Pittsburgh, his scoring upside is minimal without goal-line involvement. He is worth stashing in deeper leagues, but fantasy managers should leave him on the bench.

Outlook Darius Cooper
Darius Cooper at Washington — TD-dependent option with injuries mounting in Philadelphia's receiver room
Darius Cooper continues to operate as a rotational outside receiver behind Dontayvion Wicks on the depth chart, though both Wicks and DeVonta Smith missed practice early in the week. With starting quarterback Jalen Hurts on injured reserve, Cooper is now catching passes from Tanner McKee in an Eagles offense that has dropped five straight games.
While Cooper flashed early-season upside with four touchdowns, his opportunities have cooled, totaling just two catches for 26 yards over his last two games. In an NFC East clash with a modest projected game total, our models forecast him for roughly 1.2 receptions and 16 yards, leaving him firmly on fantasy benches outside of the deepest leagues.
