Patriots | Tyler Gaffney waived Mon Mar 20, 05:37 PM
New England Patriots RB Tyler Gaffney was waived Monday, March 20, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Not surprising news considering the Patriots signed Rex Burkhead last week. Burkhead joins Dion Lewis, James White and D.J. Foster as the backs currently on the Pats roster. |

Patriots | Three players sign with Patriots Tue Feb 7, 06:25 PM
New England Patriots TE Rob Housler, RB Tyler Gaffney and WR Devin Lucien were signed to Reserve/Futures contracts Tuesday, Feb. 7.
| Footballguys view: With Martellus Bennett set to be a free agent, any tight end added by the Patriots will be one we're monitoring. Last with the Bears, Housler was released by the team after training camp in 2016. Gaffney is also a player we've been monitoring for some time in dynasty leagues. He's a powerful runner who could play a limited role for the Patriots if given a shot. |

New England Patriots practice squad RB Tyler Gaffney was added to the active roster Saturday, Oct. 29.

| Footballguys view: Gaffney has good power between the tackles, and in the deepest of deep dynasty leagues you can still hold him on a roster just in case he gets a chance. |

New England Patriots WR Aaron Dobson, RB Tyler Gaffney, WR Keshawn Martin, WR DeAndre Carter, WR Chris Harper, RB Joey Iosefa, WR Devin Lucien and TE Bryce Williams were released Saturday, Sept. 3.
| Footballguys view: The Patriots put Dobson on the trade block, but there were no takers. A bad route-runner with bad hands, we don't think the phone lines will be burning up to add him. |

Patriots | LeGarrette Blount battling Tyler Gaffney? Fri Aug 19, 01:42 PM
New England Patriots RB LeGarrette Blount is 'likely' battling RB Tyler Gaffney the club's final running back spot. RBs Dion Lewis and James White 'appear to be locked in' as the receiving running backs, while RB Brandon Bolden 'figures' to have a spot on the roster thanks to his role on special teams. Blount and Gaffney are competing for the 'between-the-tackles kind of role.'
| Footballguys view: Blount has to be in the lead with his proven track record and performance in Week 2 of the preseason. He was more successful in short yardage, and the team knows he can hold up over the course of a game and a season. Gaffney could easily catch on elsewhere after a strong summer in his own right. |

Patriots | Tyler Gaffney runs wild Fri Aug 12, 12:05 AM
New England Patriots RB Tyler Gaffney had nine carries for a game-high 64 yards and a touchdown and added two catches for seven yards in a 34-22 win over the New Orleans Saints in the preseason Thursday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: Gaffney is a powerful and swift back who can run through arm tackles with ease. He's been getting some work with the first-team offense in practice, and Gaffney is a power back trying to find a role behind LeGarrette Blount. |

Tyler Gaffney player page Patriots | Tyler Gaffney released Mon Apr 11, 05:05 PM
New England Patriots RB Tyler Gaffney was cut Monday, April 11.
| Footballguys view: A sixth-round pick in the 2014 NFL draft (Panthers), Gaffney's pro career was knocked off course due to injury and inconsistency. He's physically gifted as a power runner, but he's nothing more than a deep dynasty asset. |

Patriots | Tyler Gaffney placed on IR Thu Aug 13, 04:49 PM
Free-agent RB Tyler Gaffney (undisclosed) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Two years in a row Gaffney will miss the season on I.R. The power back from Stanford may struggle to ever make an impact in the pros. |

Patriots | Claim Tyler Gaffney Mon Jul 28, 04:59 PM
The New England Patriots claimed RB Tyler Gaffney (Panthers) on waivers Monday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: Those tricky Patriots are always one to watch in seemingly footnote-level transactions like this one. They obviously saw something they like in Gaffney and will stash him away for next year, when Stevan Ridley becomes a free agent. They did something similar with TJ Moe and Mark Harrison last year, although neither worked out. |

Panthers | Tyler Gaffney out for season Sat Jul 26, 08:52 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Tyler Gaffney (knee) will miss the entire 2014 season because of a torn lateral meniscus in his knee.
| Footballguys view: Bad news for the rookie here. The Panthers are incredibly thin at running back now. DeAngelo Williams and Kenjon Barner are the only healthy backs right now. |

Panthers | Tyler Gaffney making good first impression Tue Jul 8, 09:26 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Tyler Gaffney has earned praise from the coaching staff for his ability in blitz pickup and familiarity with the team's power running scheme, according to Max Henson of Panthers.com.
| Footballguys view: The Panthers long-term running back situation is wide open with the team just biding their team before they can get out from under foolishly expensive contracts for DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart. Gaffney surprised with a fast 40 time, and his blitz pickup ability could get him on the field in his rookie year if Stewart or Williams miss time. |

Panthers | Tyler Gaffney signs Sat May 17, 05:40 PM
The Carolina Panthers signed sixth-round pick RB Tyler Gaffney to a four-year deal.
| Footballguys view: Gaffney is your classic banger between the tackles. He makes his living between the tackles, and he can be counted on in short-yardage situations. Gaffney will compete for a reserve role this year behind DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart and Mike Tolbert. |

NFL | Tyler Gaffney runs the 40 Sun Feb 23, 04:56 PM
Stanford RB Tyler Gaffney ran an official time of 4.49 seconds in the 40-yard dash Sunday, Feb. 23.
| Footballguys view: Gaffney's time has vaulted him out of relative obscurity in draft terms, although he's still looking at a pick in the 3rd-5th round at the best. |
