Tennessee rookie running back Dylan Sampson is rising on Underdog just one week out from the NFL Draft. Since April 8th, Sampson has risen 8 spots from RB-45 up to RB-42. Samspon has crept into round 13.

Part of this slow rise is due to the fact that Sampson’s stock went down after not running the 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine from a noted hamstring injury. Recency bias can create market dips, particularly in the slower news cycle that is the offseason. 

Sampson did have a pro-day workout where he ran a 4.46 40-yard dash. His stock will continue to rise in the event that he gets day 2 draft capital and lands in an appealing offense for fantasy football. Being drafted by the Ravens to sit behind Derrick Henry would cool his first year outlook while going to a team like Steelers would make for a massive difference in outlook to the positive. Fantasy gamers will soon have their answer which will shape rookie dynasty drafts.
