Sample sucks. He isn't even that good anymore at the only thing he's ever been good at. I am not convinced Grandy isn't a better blocker right now.
The sooner he is relegated to a more proper TE3/TE4 role, the better we will be. But with Gesicki/Hudson so one dimensional, he will still get a lot of work.
But I agree, Sample, Gesicki, & Fant will get the lion's share of the TE snaps. Hudson/Grandy will play less. Of course, nearly all of the Gesicki/Hudson snaps will be as a big slot and not in-line. And nearly all the Sample/Grandy will be the opposite, or at H-back.
Sample also plays special teams where I doubt the others will. He'll get the most total snaps, but on offense, I like Fant. Narrowly.
