Risk Flags
1- Injury Concerns
Dillon dealt with recurring neck stingers that cost him the entire 2024 season; while he has returned to full health, that history plus his age compounds the downside if Carolina ever needs to lean on him physically.
AJ Dillon
RB · #127CAR · RB · Age 28
FLEX
AJ Dillon's recent carry share has been minimal, averaging just 9.4% over his last four games before joining CAR.
Role & volume
Dillon's trailing average snap share of 11.5% and target share of 2.3% indicate limited involvement in the passing game, with a carry share that has been non-existent recently.
Projected role
As Dillon transitions to CAR, his projected role remains unclear given his minimal usage in recent games, suggesting he may struggle to secure consistent rushing volume immediately.
Range (floor–ceiling)
Dillon's floor is likely low due to his lack of carries and limited targets, while his ceiling could be slightly higher if he sees an uptick in snaps or becomes the primary rusher for CAR.

1- Depth Chart Path
Both Chuba Hubbard and Jonathon Brooks carry current injury concerns (hamstring and knee/soreness, respectively) and injury-prone histories; if either misses time, Dillon is the next man up for early-down and short-yardage work given Trevor Etienne's more limited role.
