Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection Injured — score leans to the low end of the range until he returns.
Young RB with proof and a long runway.

Org environment ×0.99
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Sampson finished RB85 in 2026. Recent form cooled from RB56 to RB85 — watch whether that's noise or a real step down. Only 1 games in 2026 — availability is the headline. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
