Najee Harris News
Wednesday, July 15, 5:26 AM
With training camps set to open at the end of the month, opportunities could soon begin to arise for some of the veteran free agents who remain unsigned, and a player near the top of the available list of running backs is Najee Harris. The former Pro Bowler began his career with four straight 1,000-yard campaigns for the Pittsburgh Steelers, but how much is left in the tank remains unknown after he tore his Achilles only three games into his 2025 stint with the Los Angeles Chargers. Harris signed a one-year deal with the Chargers last offseason, but a bizarre eye injury limited his availability throughout training camp, and he handled only 15 carries before his season came to an unceremonious ending. With the start of padded practices in training camp comes the unfortunate reality of injury risk, and should a team face an unexpected depth chart shake-up, Harris could be one of the first running backs on standby. Currently RotoBaller's RB69, the 28-year-old veteran still has a chance to work his way into the closing rounds of 2026 drafts.

Tyjae Spears News
Saturday, July 18, 8:25 AM
Entering his fourth professional season having never topped the RB35 finish of his rookie campaign, the door still has not fully closed for Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears to find fantasy relevance in 2026. A capable pass-catcher throughout his career, Spears could find fresh opportunities with a new coaching staff inheriting a running back room that is not teeming with insurmountable talent. New offensive coordinator Brian Daboll has some familiarity with Tony Pollard from their time together in the NFC East, but he's long shown a willingness to ride the hot hand, turning his 2025 Giants backfield over to fourth-round rookie Cam Skattebo almost immediately. The Titans selected Penn State's Nicholas Singleton in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, muddying the waters slightly, but if Spears can maintain a primary pass-catching role while working his way into more of an early-down rotation, he could prove to have some usable flex weeks throughout the year. At RotoBaller's RB49, he's unlikely to be selected outside of the deepest of 2026 drafts, but he's a player to keep tabs on early in the season as a potential waiver add.
