Dylan Sampson a Sneaky Redraft Sleeper Entering 2026?

Monday, June 29, 12:10 PM

A fourth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson recorded 446 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 98 touches across 15 games as a rookie. The 21-year-old did the majority of his damage as a receiver out of the backfield, as he finished with more receiving yards (271) than rushing yards (165). Entering 2026, Browns running back Quinshon Judkins (ankle) will likely block Sampson from seeing significant early-down and goal-line work. However, Sampson profiles as the unquestioned RB2 in Cleveland following the offseason departure of veteran back Jerome Ford. Between his handcuff appeal and standalone value in PPR-scoring leagues, Sampson may be undervalued by current redraft ADP as the 53rd running back off the board.

Jadarian Price to Be Counted on Heavily Early in the Season

Wednesday, July 15, 5:12 AM

With Seattle Seahawks rookies reporting to training camp on Friday, all eyes will be on running back Jadarian Price, and NFL Insider Adam Schefter believes the team's 2026 first-round pick will play a major role in filling what he considers the Seahawks' most obvious hole. The Super Bowl champions return 20 of 22 starters, but the most notable absence is Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III, who signed a three-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs in free agency. Compounding the situation is the fact that Zach Charbonnet tore his ACL in a January playoff game and may not be available for a meaningful stretch at the start of the season. The Seahawks signed former Packer Emanuel Wilson to a one-year deal, and George Holani remains with the team after stepping into a depth role following Charbonnet's injury, but Price has the highest ceiling of the group and could rise quickly to the top of the depth chart when the full team gathers for training camp at the end of the month. At RotoBaller's RB26, Price is a player to target in the middle rounds of drafts, and if he is able to capitalize on his early-season opportunity, he could prove to be one of fantasy's best values in 2026.
