Switching to linebacker
Wilder is switching from running back to linebacker for the 2017 season, Matt Baker of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilder spent 2014 and 2015 on practice squads as a running back and had his 2016 season cut short due to a head injury. He hasn't played defense since high school, where he was one of the best defenders in his area. He isn't currently with a team, and he's free to sign at any point.

2016 Fantasy Outlook
Wilder enters his second season in the NFL after spending his first season on the Bengals’ practice squad, and although he enters a new situation in Buffalo, it is not necessarily a better situation. Wilder will have a chance to try and impress during training camp, but in reality he could become, at best, the Bills’ fourth-string halfback and worst-case scenario could be waived during first cuts. Proven backs LeSean McCoy, Karlos Williams and Reggie Bush, as well as Mike Gillislee and Jonathan Williams, all sit ahead of Wilder on the current Bills depth chart.
