Dylan Sampson

Cleveland Browns · Running backRB depth

Dylan Sampson is on reserve / ir and cannot play. Roster status as of the week-3 roster, which persists until he is activated, so no week-4 projection is produced for him. His usage and history are below. See the rest of the Cleveland Browns room →

Over 15 games last season Dylan Sampson averaged 2.2 receptions and 18 yards on 26% of snaps. His usage and history are below; there is no week 4 projection because he is not available to play.

Returning from a missed week. Players in their first game back come in about a third of a reception below recent form, so this projection is held down rather than reading his last line straight across.

How his role is trending

Snap shareTarget share

Role is the most repeatable thing a player has. Snap share reproduces at 0.98 between halves of a season; receptions manage 0.94 and touchdowns 0.72. When these lines move, production follows — not the other way round.

“We said” is the projection as it was published that week, stored before the game, with the miss beside it. Re-running today’s model on a past week would grade a model that did not exist when the number went out, so those weeks show a dash instead.

How often he has actually done it

Rates over his last 16 games. A projection says what to expect on average; this says how often the thing you actually need has happened.

Outcome	Games it happened	How often

Career by season

Role is the part of a player that carries. Snap share repeats at 0.98 between halves of a season and target share at 0.96, so this line is a far better guide to what comes next than a points total would be.
