Dylan Sampson at New Orleans: Carving Out a High-Value Pass-Catching Role
Since returning from a knee injury on injured reserve, Sampson has quickly carved out a defined role as Cleveland's primary passing-down back behind Quinshon Judkins. Across his past two games, he has caught 9 of 11 targets for 94 receiving yards, providing explosive playmaking when given opportunities.
With fellow running back Raheim Sanders on injured reserve, Sampson's role in the rotation is firmly secure. Our weekly projection lands him at 8.4 PPR fantasy points, highlighted by nearly 3 receptions for 22 yards and 21 rushing yards. That pass-catching floor makes him a viable flex option in deeper leagues, especially if quarterback Deshaun Watson's concussion leads to a conservative, checkdown-heavy game plan against New Orleans.

Efton Chism vs. Green Bay — Deep-League Dart Throw Amid Receiver Injuries
Chism has quietly carved out a rotational role in New England's offense, catching all six of his targets for 53 yards over his last two games. With Romeo Doubs on injured reserve and top targets like A.J. Brown dealing with injuries, Chism could see extra snaps alongside DeMario Douglas as Drake Maye looks for secondary options.
Despite the modest bump in opportunity, fantasy managers should treat him with caution. Our weekly projection slots him for around two receptions and 22 receiving yards against Green Bay. Rostered in just two percent of leagues, he remains strictly a bench stash or deep-league flier who needs a touchdown to return fantasy value.
