Ty Johnson News
Wednesday, May 27, 6:57 PM
After missing both of the Buffalo Bills' playoff games in January, running back Ty Johnson (ankle) is back to 100% health and has been taking part in the team's OTA practices this offseason, according to Jeffrey Barnes of the Bluefield Daily Telegraph. In his third year in Buffalo in 2025, the 28-year-old played in 17 regular-season games but saw only 50 rushing attempts for 200 yards and a career-high three touchdowns while adding 24 receptions for 263 yards and two more TDs on 33 targets. The former sixth-rounder by the Detroit Lions in 2019 out of Maryland will continue to be a sparsely used change-of-pace back in Buffalo (mostly on passing downs) behind starter James Cook III and alongside Ray Davis. If something were to happen to Cook, Davis, not Johnson, would most likely see the majority of early-down snaps for the Bills. With limited opportunities probably coming again in 2026, Johnson should go undrafted in most redraft leagues. In half-PPR formats, RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 73 RB for 2026.

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).
