Should You Start or Sit Dylan Sampson in Week 4?
Consider this your reminder that Week 1 is the first piece to the puzzle, not an answer key.
Dylan Sampson caught eight balls in the season opener against the Bengals and showed impressive versatility, but with Quinshon Judkins in the fold, the fourth-round pick appears to be an afterthought.
With just eight touches over the past two weeks, it’s clear that Sampson has fallen out of the rotation on a team that is going to struggle to move the ball. There’s no reason to burn a roster spot in this fashion: move onto a handcuff running back, even if there isn’t much hope for standalone value (Rachaad White, Emari Demerara, and Woody Marks, for example).
