Dylan Sampson, Another DNP for Dylan Sampson

Cleveland Browns rookie running back Dylan Sampson (calf, hand) is missing from the practice field again on Thursday, per Browns Zone's Scott Petrak. Unless Sampson can get back on the practice field in some capacity on Friday, he appears headed toward a second straight absence this Sunday versus the Buffalo Bills. Jerome Ford (shoulder) is on Injured Reserve and out for the rest of the season, so if Sampson sits again in Week 16, Trayveon Williams would once again serve as Cleveland's RB2 behind rookie Quinshon Judkins. Williams played 33% of the offensive snaps in last week's blowout loss to the Chicago Bears in his first game with the Browns this year and had only one rushing attempt for three yards while catching both of his targets for four yards. If Sampson can't play against Buffalo, his next chance to take the field will come in Week 17 against the division-rival Steelers.

David Njoku, David Njoku Still Not Practicing

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) is missing another day of practice due to his knee injury on Thursday, according to Scott Petrak of Browns Zone. Njoku didn't practice at all last week, either, and sat out of the loss to the Chicago Bears. The 29-year-old is trending toward missing another game in Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills unless he can return to practice on Friday. As of right now, fantasy managers shouldn't plan on rolling with him as a TE2 streamer this weekend, especially since rookie Harold Fannin Jr. has been the better option in fantasy in 2025 as Cleveland's leading pass-catching tight end. Njoku enters Week 16 play with 33 receptions on 48 targets for 293 yards and four touchdowns, while Fannin has produced 66 catches for 667 yards and four scores on his 99 targets.

Harold Fannin Jr., Harold Fannin Jr. Praised by Offensive Coordinator

When asked about tight end Harold Fannin Jr.'s involvement in the game plan during the team's 31-3 loss to the Bears, Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Tommy Rees gave the rookie a vote of confidence. "The Harold Fannin well is a good one to go to," Rees replied when asked about the 21-year-old's spike in targets. In fact, Fannin accounted for a whopping 40% of quarterback Shedeur Sanders' looks in their Week 15 defeat and has commanded at least 11 in consecutive contests. The third-round pick of April's draft has been on the field for at least 90% of Cleveland's offensive snaps across the past four weeks, and is on the rise with an elevated opportunity share since teammate David Njoku (knee) went down with injury.

Dylan Sampson, Dylan Sampson Expected to Miss Practice on Wednesday with Hand Injury

Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson (hand) is not expected to practice on Wednesday, per Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. Sampson missed his team's Week 15 loss to the Chicago Bears due to both calf and hand injuries, but it appears it's the hand that's now giving him more problems. Across 13 games this season, the 21-year-old has recorded 375 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 72 touches. He's emerged as the primary receiving back in Cleveland, with fellow rookie running back Quinshon Judkins handling the lion's share of early-down work. With Sampson sidelined in Week 15, Trayveon Williams was utilized as Cleveland's RB2, recording seven yards from scrimmage on three touches. If Sampson remains sidelined for the Browns' Week 16 matchup against the Buffalo Bills, Judkins could see a significant workload as both a rusher and receiver.

David Njoku, David Njoku Not Expected to Practice on Wednesday

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) is not expected to practice on Wednesday, per Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. Njoku is battling a knee injury that forced him to miss Cleveland's Week 15 loss to the Chicago Bears. Across 12 games this season, the 29-year-old has hauled in 33 receptions for 293 yards and four touchdowns on 48 targets. If Njoku is sidelined for a second straight game in Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills, Browns rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. could continue his recent surge. Over the past two weeks, Fannin Jr. has recorded 15 receptions on 25 targets and appears to be emerging as the favorite pass-catcher of Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders.
