AJ Dillon Remains Handcuff to Chuba Hubbard in Week 4

Saturday, October 3, 8:45 AM

Carolina Panthers running back AJ Dillon had four carries for 16 yards and one catch for negative two yards in the 21-18 loss to the Cleveland Browns. With running back Jonathon Brooks (core) on injured reserve, Dillon is filling in as Chuba Hubbard's backup. The former Packers back played just 16% of snaps in Week 3, while Hubbard played 84%. They face a Detroit Lions defense that has allowed the 13th fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. However, rain is expected, and head coach Dave Canales said the run game will be integral to Sunday night's outcome. While he's strictly a handcuff to Hubbard, Dillon is a name to monitor in Week 4.

Omarion Hampton's Snap Count "Hard to Predict"

Wednesday, October 14, 12:30 PM

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said that it's "hard to predict how many a player is going to get" when asked about running back Omarion Hampton's declining snap count, per Alex Insdorf of the Guilty As Charged podcast. Across five games so far in 2026, Hampton has recorded 73 carries for 231 yards and three touchdowns. However, his workload has decreased in recent weeks as the Chargers have gotten fellow running backs Kimani Vidal and Keaton Mitchell more involved in the team's offense. After leading the team in running back snaps in each of the first three weeks, Hampton has now played the same number of snaps as, or fewer than, both Vidal and Mitchell in two straight contests. Between his uncertain workload and the Chargers' overall issues on offense this season, Hampton is becoming increasingly difficult for fantasy managers to trust.
