Dylan Sampson vs Raheim Sanders: Who Should You Start?
This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Dylan Sampson finished the 2025 season at 4.7 PPG over 15 games with the Cleveland Browns, while Raheim Sanders clocked in at 4.7 across 4 appearances for the Cleveland Browns. A 0.0-point gap means any given week could go either way.
With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Dylan Sampson ran for 175 yards and undefined touchdowns; Raheim Sanders posted 92 and 1. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
Both share a Week 10 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking running backs this deep on your bench, plan your replacement running back early.
