Overall
Held in check Sunday
Sampson carried the ball 10 times for 32 yards and caught two of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 20-18 win over the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
Making his second straight start with Quinshon Judkins (ankle) done for the year, Sampson wasn't able to get much going, with his longest gain of the day going for only 11 yards. The 2025 fourth-round pick wraps up his first NFL campaign with 446 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns, both through the air, on 98 touches over 15 games. Assuming Judkins is healthy for the beginning of next season, Sampson figures to work behind him, primarily on passing downs.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Potential lead back for Week 17
Sampson could lead Cleveland's backfield in the last two games of the regular season, as the Browns announced that Quinshon Judkins was placed on injured reserve after undergoing successful surgery Tuesday to repair a dislocated right ankle and fractured right fibula.
ANALYSIS
Sampson last suited up in Week 14, but he has a chance to return in Week 17 against the Steelers after practicing in limited fashion Wednesday and Thursday. If available against the Steelers, Sampson could get most of the touches in Cleveland's Judkins-less backfield over Raheim Sanders and Trayveon Williams.
