Jacksonville Jaguars beat writer Demetrius Harvey says that running back Tank Bigsby has been getting a lot of work lately in training camp, and it's becoming more clear that he's someone that is "going to be heavily involved in the offense." RotoBaller has Bigsby currently ranked as the No. 50 RB going into the 2025 season, but he's probably going to rise up draft boards the closer we get to the regular season if he continues to be heavily involved during camp and the preseason. The 23-year-old former third-rounder in 2023 out of Auburn took a big step forward in his second season in 2024 with 168 carries for 766 yards (4.6 yards per carry) and seven touchdowns in 16 games (one start) while catching seven passes for 54 yards. Travis Etienne Jr. is still in the fold, though, and Bigsby has caught just eight passes in his first few seasons. Getting more work in the passing attack is the next step for Bigsby.

Cleveland Browns rookie fourth-round running back Dylan Sampson received work "as a running back and a receiver" during minicamp, according to RBs coach Duce Staley. Staley went on to add that Sampson "is able to go play in the slot and also he's able to go and play on third down and maybe sprinkle in a little second down." The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Dan Labbe thinks that heading into training camp, rookies Quinshon Judkins and Sampson figure to be the top two backs, with Jerome Ford serving as the primary third-down back. The 20-year-old Sampson rushed for 1,491 yards and 22 touchdowns (5.8 yards per carry) in 2024 at Tennessee, but he wasn't all that involved as a pass-catcher. He's a speedy back that could be worth a dart throw in deep PPR formats, but most likely he'll be an inconsistent fantasy performer unless Judkins misses time with an injury.
