Dylan Sampson vs HOU at home: Pass-catching role gives him PPR appeal

Healthy and operating behind Quinshon Judkins in a shared backfield, Sampson has earned steady passing-down work over the past two weeks, turning 14 targets into nearly 90 receiving yards on limited carries. With Cleveland hosting Houston as home underdogs in rainy, windy conditions, a slower scoring environment could still funnel short-area checkdowns his way, especially if questionable wideout Denzel Boston is limited.

Fantasy managers are taking notice, as Sampson's roster rate has climbed above 50% with start rates rising toward 23% over recent weeks. Our weekly projection lands near 8.6 PPR points on roughly eight touches and 43 total yards, making him a viable deep-league PPR flex option rather than a trusted weekly starter.

Outlook Darnell Washington

Darnell Washington at CIN in high-scoring AFC North clash

Washington enters Week 10 healthy as the Steelers' secondary tight end behind Pat Freiermuth, who is questionable after being added to Saturday's injury report with an illness. Coming off a 94-yard outing on five targets in his last game, Washington has carved out big-play involvement alongside DK Metcalf for a 6-2 Pittsburgh offense riding a four-game winning streak.

Our weekly projection lands near 7.3 fantasy points on roughly three catches and 31 yards, though his ceiling rises if Freiermuth sits in a matchup between 6-2 rivals with shootout potential. Rostered in 11% of leagues with rising 5% start rates, Washington is a viable deep-league play or streaming option.
