2025 Outlook: Dylan Sampson
2025 fantasy player outlook for Dylan Sampson, RB, Cleveland Browns
Sampson was only 19 years old when the 2024 season began and proceeded to crush the SEC to the tune of 1,491 yards and 22 touchdowns on the ground. Sampson then surprisingly fell in the NFL Draft, and the Cleveland Browns surprisingly used a Day 3 selection on the RB position after already securing Quinshon Judkins in Round 2. And after Judkins' arrest in July, the Browns might need Sampson to step up. His combination of speed, burst and vision paired with excellent tempo and footwork allows him to navigate traffic and take what the offensive line creates for him. If he can prove he can handle pro-level defenses, he could see the field before Judkins given a likely suspension for his fellow rookie. But even then, he'll likely share reps with Jerome Ford and may be limited by the low-scoring offensive environment in Cleveland. Sampson is a fine dart throw in the Round 9-10 range because he offers more upside than most bench stashes.
