Should I start Dylan Sampson or Nicholas Singleton in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 7:41 PM ET.

Start Nicholas Singleton: he has been on the field this season, 12 percent of the snaps, and Dylan Sampson has no snap on record yet. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

The gap

  • Board size315 draftable players

Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Dylan Sampson, and the board ranks him 150th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Nicholas Singleton, and the board ranks him 152nd overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Dylan Sampson is 1.9 PPR points a game off 1 market across 3 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

The market-based projection for Nicholas Singleton is 1.7 PPR points a game off 3 markets across 12 market sources. That is 60 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Dylan Sampson's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

This season through Week 4

The usage feed holds no snap or target counts for Dylan Sampson this season.

Through Week 4, Nicholas Singleton has been on the field for 12 percent of TEN snaps, taken 13 percent of the carries, drawn 0 percent of the targets and had 7 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 0 of the offence's 11 third down targets, had 0 of its 10 chances inside the five and seen 0 of its 9 two minute targets.

In Week 2 against PHI he carried 4 times for 10 yards and did not score.

In Week 4 against BAL he carried 3 times for 2 yards and did not score.

Their 2025 seasons

In 2025 Dylan Sampson played 15 games and scored 87.6 PPR points, 5.8 a game, finishing RB55.

He carried 65 times for 175 yards and 0 touchdowns, and caught 33 of 40 targets for 271 more yards.

That came to 4.3 carries a game at 2.7 yards a carry and 2.2 catches a game.

He was on the field for 25 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Nicholas Singleton is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

Byes and availability

Dylan Sampson is off in Week 11 and Nicholas Singleton in Week 9, so either can cover the other's bye.

Dylan Sampson is listed as ir on the injury report.
