Dylan Samson is a dramatically overlooked handcuff target for the Cleveland Browns. He started his career strong, including a week-one start when Quon Sean Judkins was out. At age 22, he's in an interesting spot with a new coaching staff that may not commit to Judkins' 30 carries per game. Samson is expected to have the majority of passing-down work. Judkins is a legitimate health question mark after a late-season leg injury, creating opportunity for Samson. Samson was SEC Offensive Player of the Year in his final season at Tennessee with speed and burst; as a talent-based bet, he has the role secured with Jerome Ford out of the building and no other running back three expected to play significantly. Dylan Samson (per Dylan Samson) is a priority handcuff target and one of his top five handcuff RBs to target for the upcoming season.
