Some people might see that Dylan Sampson played 12 more snaps than Quinshon Judkins in Week 8 and think that makes Sampson a worthy waiver acquisition. Context is important. The Browns were playing from behind in most of their 27-6 loss to the Steelers on Sunday, and Sampson is Cleveland's passing-down back. Sampson had just one rushing attempt in that game. He had 6-62-0 on eight targets, but most of that came in garbage time. On the Browns' final drive of the game, Sampson caught passes on three straight plays for 33 yards. Judkins is the undisputed early-down back. Sampson's role just isn't particularly fantasy-relevant in an average (at best) Cleveland offense.
