Tyjae Spears News
Tuesday, August 18, 6:49 AM
Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears has had a productive summer, accumulating 39 yards on five touches in the team's preseason opener and carrying that momentum back to the practice field. With Tony Pollard (foot), Nick Singleton (undisclosed/foot), and Kalel Mullings (hip) all held out of Monday's session, Spears was the Titans' most active back, particularly in the passing game, where senior writer Jim Wyatt credits him with a practice-high six catches. Spears has stood out for his receiving work for much of camp, and he figures to carry a significant pass-catching role into the regular season, making him an underrated late-round target in PPR leagues. Currently being selected as the RB53, he has standalone value that more than justifies his draft cost and can lead the backfield if forced into a larger role, as evidenced on Monday.

RJ Harvey News
Tuesday, August 25, 7:32 PM
Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey is evolving into a "complete back," offensive coordinator Davis Webb told Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports. Harvey impressed as a rookie last season, scoring 12 touchdowns and ranking as the RB20 in PPR leagues despite finishing with fewer than 1,000 rushing yards. He demonstrated impressive versatility last year, and Webb's comments would seem to indicate that Harvey has taken another step forward this preseason. It's a bit of a crowded backfield between Harvey, JK Dobbins, and Jonah Coleman, but Harvey seemingly has the highest upside of that group. If he plays a full 17-game slate this year, he should have no problem eclipsing 1,000 yards while pushing for another 12+ touchdowns. He ranks as the RB35 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football draft rankings, which is four spots behind Dobbins and 17 spots ahead of Coleman.
