Fantasy Impact

After being carted off the field on Thursday with what was feared to be a serious knee injury, this could certainly be viewed as positive development for Sample. The injury is now reportedly expected to keep him out of action a few weeks but not threaten the fourth-year tight end's entire season. Sample is expected to share the position with free-agent acquisition Hayden Hurst this season as the better blocker between the two.
