Dylan Sampson vs Trey Benson: Who Should You Start?

Dylan Sampson and Trey Benson are both viable fantasy running backs heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Dylan Sampson averaged 4.7 PPG across 15 games with the Cleveland Browns, while Trey Benson posted 7.2 PPG in 4 appearances for the Arizona Cardinals.

A 2.5-PPG gap gives Trey Benson the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.

Both profile as early-down workhorses. Dylan Sampson ran for 175 yards and undefined touchdowns; Trey Benson posted 160 and undefined. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.

One scheduling note: Dylan Sampson is off Week 10 and Trey Benson Week 11. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in running back for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.

The Bottom Line

Trey Benson outscored Dylan Sampson by 2.5 PPG in 2025 (7.2 to 4.7). That production gap is the baseline, but weekly context shifts the answer. DraftCall analyzes matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and health data to deliver a clear start or sit recommendation backed by real reasoning.
