Dylan Sampson: knee injury expected to cost significant time

THE FACT. Browns running back Dylan Sampson hurt his knee on a kickoff return in the first quarter Sunday at Jacksonville and is expected to miss significant time, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Head coach Todd Monken said Monday the team is still evaluating the severity and will know more Wednesday, per Cleveland beat reporter Daniel Oyefusi.

THE VERDICT. Redraft: Quinshon Judkins is the every-down back in Cleveland now and starts in all formats, even after a 12-carry, 33-yard opener. Raheim Sanders inherits the pass-catching work and is worth 5% FAAB as a speculative add in deeper leagues. Dynasty: hold Sampson, an early-season knee injury does not change his 2027 role. DFS: Judkins gets the volume bump, but this offense caps his ceiling. Fade in cash.
