Tyjae Spears Figures to be in Backup Pass-Catching Role Again in 2026

Sunday, March 15, 9:10 AM

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears had a career-low 283 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 72 carries in 13 games (one start) in 2025 in his third year in the league. Despite the disappointing performance on the ground, Spears did contribute as a pass-catcher, hauling in 45 of his 50 targets for 264 yards through the air. The 24-year-old former third-round pick (81st overall) by the Titans in 2023 out of Tulane was just inside the top-50 RBs in half-PPR scoring, and he ranked 10th among all RBs with his 45 receptions despite playing in only 13 games. The Titans haven't made any additions to their RB room so far this offseason, but Spears remains behind lead back Tony Pollard for early-down touches. Tennessee may address its backfield in the upcoming NFL draft, which could add additional competition for touches. At best, the fourth-year back will continue to be in a third-down, passing-catching role for the Titans, making him a late-round PPR flier for his abilities as a receiver out of the backfield.

RJ Harvey Ready for a Year 2 Jump?

Tuesday, March 24, 10:47 AM

Most fantasy managers were not thrilled about Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey's fantasy value going into 2026 when the Broncos re-signed J.K. Dobbins. But Harvey will continue to factor into Denver's offense, and the coaching staff thinks he's "ready for a Year 2 jump," according to Nick Kosmider of The Athletic. Harvey wasn't exactly efficient on a per-carry basis in his rookie campaign, averaging 3.7 yards per carry on 146 rushing attempts in 17 regular-season games. He ranked 29th out of 32 RBs with at least 75 attempts with a 3.4 yard-per-carry average after Dobbins went down with a season-ending foot injury. Despite his limitations, Harvey had 540 rushing yards, 47 catches, 356 receiving yards, and 12 total touchdowns (seven rushing). While Dobbins' return limits the 25-year-old's fantasy upside, Harvey still has a pretty bright future in terms of his dynasty/keeper outlook. Dobbins has been incredibly injury-prone in his career, too, so it might not be long before Harvey is again Denver's RB1.
