AJ Dillon News
Wednesday, March 18, 9:35 AM
The Carolina Panthers are signing former Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles running back AJ Dillon to an undisclosed one-year deal on Wednesday, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Schultz also mentions that Dillon is in incredible shape. He will help make up for the loss of Rico Dowdle in free agency and will join Chuba Hubbard. The 27-year-old missed all of the 2024 season due to injury and only played in seven games in 2025 in his lone season with the Eagles, seeing just 12 rushing attempts for 60 yards and catching all three of his targets for 21 yards. Dillon isn't guaranteed a key backup role behind Hubbard in Carolina just because he's in good shape. The veteran RB will be battling for playing time this offseason with the likes of Jonathon Brooks and Trevor Etienne. The former second-rounder in 2020 out of Boston College has 4.1 yards per carry in his five NFL seasons to go with 2,488 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns in 67 games (11 starts).

LeQuint Allen Jr. News
Thursday, July 9, 11:02 AM
A seventh-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Jacksonville Jaguars running back LeQuint Allen Jr. recorded 148 scrimmage yards on 33 touches across 17 games as a rookie. Even in a backfield that also featured running backs Travis Etienne Jr. and Bhayshul Tuten, Allen Jr. carved out a semi-regular role as a passing-downs back. Entering 2026, Jacksonville's backfield no longer features Etienne Jr., who departed the team in free agency. Allen Jr. may still be blocked from fantasy-relevant playing time, as Tuten is expected to assume the Jaguars RB1 role and Jacksonville also brought in former Washington Commanders back Chris Rodriguez Jr. (foot). Still, Allen Jr. may have a chance to expand his role in the Jaguars offense, especially as a receiver out of the backfield. In his final collegiate season at Syracuse in 2024, Allen Jr. recorded 64 catches for 521 yards and four touchdowns across 13 games. In deeper dynasty leagues, Allen Jr. could be a worthy buy-low/stash candidate.
