Najee Harris News
Tuesday, October 20, 7:15 AM
New York Giants running back Najee Harris is being released, according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, ending his brief stint with the team after he signed in August. Harris had just been moved into the starting lineup for Sunday's 34-27 loss to New Orleans but managed only two yards on four carries. The Giants' running backs combined for 34 yards on 14 attempts, and head coach John Harbaugh has challenged someone to establish himself as the clear lead option. Harris' departure further reshapes a backfield that already has questions around Cam Skattebo, who lost his starting job after repeated fumbling issues and didn't record a touch against the Saints. Tyrone Tracy Jr. made the strongest case for more work Sunday, scoring twice on eight touches, while Devin Singletary added 33 scrimmage yards. Tracy's performance gives him some momentum, but Harris' release doesn't necessarily set a new backfield hierarchy.

Tyjae Spears News
Friday, November 13, 3:40 PM
Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (knee) returns from the bye still searching for a meaningful role in the offense. Spears has only 18 carries for 66 yards through six appearances this season, although his 15 receptions on 17 targets have at least given him a shred of value as a passing-down option. He missed Tennessee's last game against Cincinnati with a knee injury and opened this week by sitting out Wednesday's practice before progressing to limited Thursday and full participation Friday. Spears is officially questionable for Sunday. Even if active, this is not the spot to trust him. Jacksonville has allowed the fifth-fewest rushing yards in football, while Tony Pollard is coming off a 21-carry, 117-yard performance that further solidified his position as the bell cow in this backfield. Spears could pick up a few receptions if Tennessee is playing from behind, but there is nowhere near enough volume to consider him a normal fantasy starter. He's a desperation PPR flex at best and should remain on the bench or waivers in most formats.
