AJ Dillon News
Monday, October 5, 12:58 PM
Carolina Panthers running back AJ Dillon (foot/ankle) walked into his team's locker room on Monday wearing a walking boot on his right foot, according to ESPN's Mike Kaye. Dillon has played a limited role in the Carolina backfield so far this season, recording 43 rushing yards on 17 carries across four games. However, the 28-year-old currently profiles as the Panthers RB2 behind Chuba Hubbard while fellow Carolina back Jonathon Brooks (abdomen/groin) remains on Injured Reserve. If Dillon is forced to miss time, unproven back Anthony Tyus III would be the lone healthy back remaining behind Hubbard on Carolina's active roster. Hubbard has already dominated backfield touches for the Panthers this season and been productive, recording 390 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns through four games. Without any competition for him in Carolina, Hubbard profiles as a must-start running back for fantasy managers.

Mike Washington Jr. News
Friday, November 13, 1:02 PM
Las Vegas Raiders running back Mike Washington Jr. is coming off a rough Week 9 performance, and it won't get any easier for him in Week 10 against the Seattle Seahawks. The rookie has been inheriting more work from struggling back Ashton Jeanty, but was heavily stymied by the 49ers in Week 9 and ended the day with six carries for -5 yards. He will now get a taste of Seattle's top-ranked defense, which is allowing just 21.7 yards per running back per game this season. Washington's workload could still be high given that fellow rookie Fernando Mendoza is making his first career start and the passing game will also be heavily tested. Still, this isn't a matchup fantasy managers should be leaning on in Week 10, especially since Mendoza could opt to run the ball himself at times. Washington is a deep-league-only option against a brutal Seahawks defense.
