Chris Bell vs. Lions — Low-Volume Role Keeps Him on the Fringe Despite High-Scoring Projection

Chris Bell continues to start on the perimeter for Miami's passing attack, showing modest involvement with seven receptions on nine targets over his last two outings. Operating with Malik Willis under center for a struggling 1–6 Dolphins offense, Bell's opportunities downfield remain limited.

Facing a high-scoring environment against Detroit where Miami enters as a home underdog, game script could tilt toward throwing. However, our projections expect just 2.3 catches for 25 yards on four targets (5.8 fantasy points). With minimal touchdown upside and near-zero starting rates across fantasy leagues, Bell is purely an option to keep on the bench.

Outlook Dylan Sampson

Dylan Sampson at New Orleans — Carving Out PPR Value in Browns Backfield

Now healthy after an early-season knee injury, Dylan Sampson has established himself as Cleveland's primary change-of-pace back behind Quinshon Judkins. He has provided an immediate spark over the last two contests, securing nine of 11 targets for 94 receiving yards. With Raheim Sanders on injured reserve, Sampson is locked in as the Browns' top pass-catching runner.

Entering a dome clash against the Saints as slight underdogs, game script could tilt toward Sampson's receiving skillset. Our projections forecast around 9 fantasy points, highlighted by approximately three receptions for 24 yards and five carries. While Quinshon Judkins handles early downs, Sampson's pass-down efficiency makes him a viable PPR flex or deep-league option.
