Dylan Sampson

Browns down two key players on offense Browns have ruled out TE David Njoku and RB Dylan Sampson for Sunday s game at Chicago against the Bears. (Adam Schefter on X) FF Today's Take: Both players missed practice all week. Njoku injured his knee in Week 14 while Sampson has both a calf and hand injury. Harold Fannin Jr. is going to be a popular play this week at the tight end position. Jerome Ford is on IR, so that leaves Raheim Sanders and Trayveon Williams behind Quinshon Judkins at running back.

He didn't practice all week after having the "hand" listing added to his injury on Wednesday. Raheim Sanders and Trayveon Williams will back up Quinshon Judkins in Week 15, with neither player approaching the FLEX conversation at this point.

Browns RB Dylan Sampson (calf, hand) is out for Sunday s game vs. the Bears. RB Jerome Ford is on IR, leaving Quinshon Judkins and Trayveon Williams as the only healthy RBs on the active roster. Judkins should pick up some extra passing-down work vs. the Bears this weekend, boosting his fantasy floor and ceiling.

Sampson missed last week's first two practices, dealing with the calf injury. He suited up on game day, rushing twice for four yards and catching 5-of-5 targets for 64 yards while losing one fumble. We tentatively expect him to practice tomorrow and play on Sunday. Stay tuned.

Sampson played through the calf issue on Sunday and didn't appear to be bothered by it. He only ran the ball twice but added 64 yards through the air on five catches. The rookie did, however, lose a fumble in the fourth quarter. The hand issue is a new addition to the injury report. If he plays through it, Sampson will be a low-end RB4 for PPR leagues versus the Chicago in Week 15.
