Michael Wiley
RB - Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Availability
The Buccaneers signed RB Michael Wiley.
Fantasy Impact
Wiley was with the Commanders in the offseason before he was released in July. It is unclear how much, if at all this impacts the current status of Bucky Irving.
The Washington Commanders are releasing running back Michael Wiley ahead of training camp.
Fantasy Impact
Wiley spent the 2024-25 season with the Commanders' practice squad after going undrafted out of Arizona last offseason. In college, he only accumulated 2,862 scrimmage yards over five seasons but totaled 28 touchdowns as a two-phase threat. He could land a practice squad spot on another roster before the start of the season.
The Washington Commanders waived RB Michael Wiley.
Fantasy Impact
This comes as bit of a surprise after a strong training camp and preseason from Wiley. He is a candidate to be brought back on the practice squad.
Michael Wiley rushed the ball seven times for 26 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-10 win over the New England Patriots.
Fantasy Impact
Wiley had a solid showing on Sunday, scoring a touchdown in a win over the Patriots. He wasn't very efficient on the ground, however, and averaged just 3.7 yards per carry on the day. He is unlikely to make Washington's 53-man roster over the next few days.
The Washington Commanders signed UDFA Michael Wiley.
Fantasy Impact
Wiley was banged up last season with an ankle injury at Arizona, but ran for 771 yards and eight touchdowns two years ago. He also proved to be a good pass catcher out of the backfield, hauling in 97 passes combined across the past three seasons. He'll look to earn a third-down role out of training camp.
