Justice Hill News
Monday, August 24, 7:13 PM
Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill was listed as the No. 2 option behind Derrick Henry on the team's latest unofficial depth chart. It seemed like Adam Randall (undisclosed) and Rasheen Ali were both trending up this preseason, but nevertheless, Hill is holding on to his second-string role for the time being. Hill was the RB37 in PPR leagues in 2024, but he took a step backward when he missed seven games last year. With that being said, Hill is still a very productive pass-catching back who should consistently play on receiving downs. He had 42 catches and 383 receiving yards in his explosive season in 2024, and he should continue to get involved in a new offensive system led by coordinator Declan Doyle, assuming he's able to stay healthy. There's low-end fantasy appeal in PPR leagues here. Hill won't get a significant number of carries regardless of whether Derrick Henry is on the field, but he should maintain a consistent receiving role, which makes him a low-end flex in deeper PPR formats.

Tyjae Spears News
Thursday, August 27, 9:02 PM
Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears could be headed for more of the same in 2026. He remains the No. 2 option on the depth chart behind Tony Pollard, putting him in line to handle receiving work without a very sizable role on early downs. Across 13 games last year, Spears logged a career-low 283 rushing yards, but he did catch 45 passes for 264 receiving yards. Tennessee's offense may look a little different with Robert Saleh and Brian Daboll coaching the team and Wan'Dale Robinson and Carnell Tate added to the offense, but from a backfield perspective, not much has changed. We expect to see Tony Pollard go for another 1,000+ rushing yards and 6-8 touchdowns, leaving Spears to catch passes. The big concern is that Spears will be tough to trust week over week. Sure, he'll have some big games -- especially in PPR -- but his inconsistency will make it tough to know which weeks he's worth starting. As a result, he has a modest ranking as the RB44 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football draft rankings. At that spot, he's not quite a weekly RB3/flex, but he could certainly jump into that tier if he's playing a weaker defense or has been getting more involved in recent weeks.
