  "account": "Dylan Sampson's fantasy football start or sit decision for Week 1 may leave you feeling as though you're overthinking your flex position. Sampson does not make the top 50 running back rankings on the PFN Consensus Board. The reason for this low ranking is that he faces a Jacksonville Jaguars defense, which could impact his performance. Sampson's pass-catching skills make him an intriguing option, but you must be aware of the risks involved. If you decide to start him, it may be due to overthinking your flex spot. Alternatively, if you choose to sit him, you're simply avoiding unnecessary risk.",
  "summary": "Sampson doesn’t crack PFN’s Week 1 running back rankings, and a trip to Jacksonville does nothing to change that. The pass-catch profile is interesting, but you’re inheriting a lot of risk the moment you consider starting him.",
