Dylan Sampson

Sampson is back for Year 2 in Cleveland after an underwhelming rookie campaign in which he struggled on a small sample of work as a rusher (his 2.69 yards per carry was dead last among 65 qualified backs), but was a contributor in the passing game (23rd among RBs with 33 receptions). Sampson was a young rookie (he doesn't turn 22 until September), so there's still some room for growth, and he's positioned for a larger role behind Quinshon Judkins with Jerome Ford no longer on the roster. Expect Sampson to see some change-of-pace carries and a moderate pass-catching role in 2026. He'll land on the flex radar only if Judkins misses time.
