In the last two games he has played more than 85% of the offensive snaps.

I realize that this increase is due mainly to Uzomah going down with injury, but the offense has looked better with Sample in there.  I am sure he is not the only reason, but he certainly is not holding them back.

Sample is on pace to have 48 receptions which would be the most by a Bengal TE since Eifert had 52 five years ago.  Only 5 TEs in Bengal history have had more than 48 receptions in a season (Dan Ross, Rodney Holeman, Tony McGee, Jermaine Gresham, Eifert)

Wonderful subject, making 5 star thread for it.
