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.

Omarion Hampton Faces Minimal Competition After the NFL Draft

Sunday, April 26, 8:32 AM

Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton remains the clear-cut No. 1 option on the depth chart heading into May. The Chargers didn't select a running back in the 2026 NFL Draft, leaving Hampton in the lead-back role and Keaton Mitchell as his projected backup. Mitchell has flashed burst and productivity in the past, and he averages 6.34 yards per carry so far in his career. While his speed fits nicely in offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel's system, he offers an occasional burst or big play, rather than every-down consistency. The every-down role should remain with Hampton, who averaged 60.6 rushing yards, 3.6 catches, 21.3 receiving yards, and 0.6 touchdowns per game while dodging injuries as a rookie last year. He remains the overall RB8 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.
