Drew Sample

TE · Cincinnati Bengals — NFL fantasy hub on MySidelines

Season 2025 · 31.9 fantasy pts · 17 games · Pos rank #63

Durability Story · Watch

Drew Sample has been durable enough to stay relevant, but not durable enough for managers to stop checking the report every week. Evidence check: injury reports across 6 different seasons; 2019 was the rough one at 4 missed; longest on-report absence ran 4 weeks in 2019 (Wk 11–14); reinjury band sits at High. The news desk has been quieter lately, so the structured history is doing most of the talking.

For fantasy, Drew is startable but fragile: keep a handcuff or streaming backup ready when the next soft-tissue note lands.

Based on injury history + recent reporting. Not a medical diagnosis.
