Is Najee Harris the Top Free Agent Back Left on the Market?

Friday, May 29, 5:50 AM

Free agent running back Najee Harris is a name to monitor as teams around the league gather for organized practices and get their first real looks at the rosters they've assembled throughout the offseason. Should injury or legal situation create an unexpected running back need, Harris is arguably the most intriguing option left on the market despite his 2025 season ending after only 15 carries with a ruptured Achilles. Before landing with the Chargers, he had volumed his way to 1,000 rushing yards in each of his four seasons in Pittsburgh, though efficiency was never his calling card even prior to the injury. At 28 years old, any return to action will likely come in a committee role, but in the right situation, he could still find enough fantasy relevance to justify a roster spot in deep dynasty leagues. At RotoBaller's dynasty RB82, Harris is potentially sitting on waiver wires, and while he may not find a new home until well into training camp, he's worth a low-stakes claim wherever available while his perceived value is still at its floor.

Tyjae Spears Facing Competition in a Contract Year

Sunday, April 26, 9:18 AM

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears will face added competition in the backfield during the 2026 season. Spears and teammate Tony Pollard survived the first two days of the draft without the team selecting a running back, but that changed on Day 3 when they selected Penn State standout Nicholas Singleton. Singleton had an explosive 2024 season but cooled off in 2025, dropping his draft stock significantly. Still, the Penn State product has proven that he is a talented player capable of contributing on the ground or through the air. That's bad news for Spears, who is a pass-catching specialist and typically gets on the field for third downs. Singleton had 91 catches and 902 receiving yards over his final three collegiate seasons. It's a contract year for Spears, so he'll do everything he can to fight for playing time so that he can showcase himself ahead of free agency. Day 3 picks typically don't contribute right away, so Spears will at least have an opportunity to solidify his role early in the season.
