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.

Mike Gesicki at Atlanta — Red-Zone Tear Meets High-Scoring Clash
Gesicki enters Week 9 on a historic heater, having hauled in a touchdown reception in five consecutive contests. With fellow tight ends Erick All and Tanner Hudson both sidelined on injured reserve, Gesicki has cemented himself as Joe Burrow's favored red-zone target over the middle.
Facing Atlanta in a projected shootout, our weekly projection tabs him for 3 receptions, 34 yards, and 9.2 fantasy points. His roster rate has climbed to 42%, and although his volume remains somewhat modest with seven targets over his last two games, his nose for the end zone makes him an appealing streaming starter.
