There was no outlook written for AJ Dillon in 2023. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.
Entering draft, sitting out bowl game
Not Injury Related
December 10, 2019
Dillon will forgo his senior season and enter the 2020 NFL Draft, Bruce Feldman of The Athletic reports. He will not play in Boston College's bowl game against Cincinnati.
ANALYSIS
So ends Dillon's record-setting career at Boston College as he leaves as the program's all-time leading rusher with 4382 yards in three seasons. Dillon adds to what projects to be an extremely deep running back class with several future contributors. He is a unique prospect, checking in at 6-foot and 250 pounds with a surprising amount of burst and long speed for a back of that size. Dillon had just 21 receptions for 236 yards on 31 targets in college, so there will be questions about his ability as a pass-catcher at the next level even though he was efficient in that sample.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2019
2018
An ankle injury slowed Dillon from the fifth game onward last year, causing heavy regression from the high bar Dillon set as a true freshman in 2017. Dillon stampeded his way to 1,589 yards and 14 touchdowns that year, but through his ankle issue he could only muster 1,108 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2018. He does little as a receiver but Dillon is imposing when healthy, as at a listed 6-feet, 245 pounds he shows the explosiveness and balance of a runner 30 pounds lighter. He isn't as bulky as his weight implies, and he therefore sacrifices surprisingly little quickness for the immense strength he otherwise shows.
Boston College is a run-first program, but the Eagles don't always have a running back with Dillon's talent. Dillon went from being an under the radar recruit to the ACC's most productive running back in a span of months, rushing for 1,589 yards and 14 TDs. An absolute unit at 6-foot, 240, Dillon is too difficult for most defenders one-on-one and he has just enough long speed to rip off big runs once he gets to the open field. He'll push for 300 carries once again, and that level of volume for a player of Dillon's skill level makes him a premium asset in 2018.
