Video: NFL Week 7 Fantasy Football Takeaways: Tony Pollard, J.J. McCarthy, Tee Higgins and More
Also got the return of not one, but two running backs, Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson back in action, and both of them looked pretty damn good, man... converted six carries into 45 yards and also chipped in three catches for 32 yards... 47% route share for Mr. Sampson today, but only handled 21% of the attempts... Six for 45, 7.5 yards per carry... three catches for 32 yards... 10.7 PPR points today... Sampson's going to be more of a PPR running back... potential like upside contingency value

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

PPR-friendly back with 47% route share; 10.7 points in return game.

Sampson returned from injury and impressed Hartitz with his performance alongside Quinshon Judkins. He profiles as a PPR-friendly running back with 47% route share but only 21% of rushing attempts; posted 6 carries for 45 yards (7.5 YPA), 3 catches for 32 yards, and 10.7 PPR points in Week 7. He has contingency value as a potential handcuff—a good enough receiver that he could handle 45-50% of rushing attempts if Judkins misses time, though the depth chart behind Judkins includes Audric Estimé and potentially Rocket Sanders.
