2025 Fantasy Outlook
Sampson was a highly-productive starter for Tennessee in 2024, running for 1,491 yards and 22 touchdowns while averaging 5.8 yards per carry, and production like that can only be accrued with some amount of innate ability with the football. Sampson's method of winning is clearly his speed, and at 5-foot-8, 200 pounds Sampson is unlikely to ever run with much power in the NFL. It's crucial, then, that his speed remain a true ace to play, because the other parts of Sampson's profile are unlikely to do much lifting. To this point Sampson is not a developed passing-down back, and until that changes it might be difficult for the fourth-round rookie to work his way into the game plan. The Browns will likely hand the 2025 backfield to 36th overall selection Quinshon Judkins and passing-down veteran Jerome Ford, with Sampson likely a developmental project in the meantime.

RANKS
Ready to face Titans
Sampson (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Sampson suffered a calf injury in Cleveland's Week 13 loss, and he didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday. However, he managed to retake the field Friday and will now suit up to face the Titans. Sampson should be in line for a handful of carries and a couple of targets while working behind Quinshon Judkins.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Fellow Browns rookie RB gets hurt
Sampson could have a bigger role after Cleveland's Week 9 bye, as fellow rookie running back Quinshon Judkins sustained a shoulder injury in the Week 8 loss to the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Judkins has a Week 9 bye to recover, but if he isn't available when the Browns resume play in Week 10 against the Jets, Sampson and Jerome Ford would be in line to pick up the slack. Sampson has been more effective as a pass catcher than a rusher, as the rookie fourth-round pick has just 51 rushing yards on 28 carries compared to 133 yards and a touchdown on 20 catches in his rookie campaign.
