Who Should I Start? Devin Neal or Dylan Sampson

Wednesday, October 8, 12:56 AM

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Devin Neal was inactive for the fourth straight game in Week 5 against the Giants. Neal suited up for the first time in Week 1 against the Cardinals and handled two carries for seven yards. In total, he played seven offensive snaps and four snaps on special teams. The rookie out of Kansas was able to earn two touches in his NFL debut, but has been a healthy scratch since. With the emergence of third-year back Kendre Miller and veteran Alvin Kamara holding things down, Neal has been relegated to a distant depth role.

Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road in Week 6. After an encouraging Week 1 performance, which saw him catch eight passes for 64 yards, Sampson has become an afterthought in the Cleveland offense ever since Quinshon Judkins joined the fold. The Steelers have been solid against running backs this season, allowing the 18th-most fantasy points per game through four contests. Sampson has just three carries and one reception over his past three games and can't be trusted in any fantasy formats heading into Week 6, although he remains a solid handcuff option in case Judkins is forced to miss time at any point this season.
