Should You Start or Sit Dylan Sampson in Week 3?
The eight-catch performance from Week 1 feels like a long time ago now after Quinshon Judkins made his debut on Sunday in Baltimore and played the lead role in this backfield.
Sampson still got some work on the first drive, so he’s not being completely scripted out by the Browns, nor do I expect him to be, but this is a situation trending away from him and that means you can’t possibly consider starting him in what might be the toughest matchup in football.
I’d keep Sampson on my roster as a way to have a cheap investment in what has been the most pass-heavy offense in the league through two weeks, but if you told me that you had to move on from Sampson in two weeks when byes start to become an issue, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised.
