Who Should I Start? Dylan Sampson or Robbie Ouzts

Cleveland Browns rookie running back Dylan Sampson (calf) is questionable to play in his team's Week 14 matchup against the Tennessee Titans due to a calf injury. Sampson missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday but was able to return to the practice field on Friday. The 21-year-old has done most of his work this season as a receiver while working as the RB2 in Cleveland behind fellow rookie Quinshon Judkins. In his final full game before getting injured back in Week 12, Sampson recorded two catches for 59 yards and a touchdown on three targets against the Las Vegas Raiders. His matchup against the Titans in Week 14 is favorable on paper, as Tennessee currently ranks 26th among NFL defenses in yards per carry allowed (4.6). However, Sampson's injury and workload uncertainty should lead to him being off fantasy radars in Week 14.

The Seattle Seahawks are converting rookie fifth-round tight end Robbie Ouzts to a 274-pound fullback as part of their vision for a more physical running game under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, according to ESPN's Brady Henderson. Ouzts will be competing with Brady Russell, who is also making the transition from tight end to fullback this offseason. He worked mostly as a blocker during his four-year college career at Alabama, so it should be a pretty natural transition for Ouzts in Seattle. Ouzts obviously won't be on the fantasy radar at all as a blocker if he's on the field regularly, but this news is good news for the Seahawks' ground attack and starting running back Kenneth Walker III and backup Zach Charbonnet. In 17 games last year, Seattle averaged just 95.7 rushing yards per game, which ranked as the fifth-fewest in the NFL.
