Trends


"Higgins signed an extension with the Bengals during the offseason and will return as Ja'Marr Chase's running mate. Higgins has struggled with injuries (he's missed action in four straight seasons), but he's been very impactful when healthy. In 12 games last season, Higgins posted career-high marks in TDs (10) and fantasy PPG (18.5), both of which ranked top 6 at the position. Higgins was a top-20 fantasy scorer in seven of his 12 active weeks. The 26-year-old may be the clear No. 2 behind Chase, but he also benefits from the league's pass-heaviest offense with an elite QB in Joe Burrow. Higgins is a good WR2 target."


"The 26-year-old wideout set a new career high with his 11th TD reception of the season on a 13-yard connection with Joe Burrow in the second quarter. Higgins missed time once again in 2025 due to injuries, but he still posted a 59-846-11 line on 98 targets over 15 games. Ja'Marr Chase's presence caps Higgins' volume, but he remains one of the most productive No. 2 WRs in the league."

"Spears is entering his third NFL season after spending the first two in a backup/change-of-pace capacity. He'll miss, at least, the first four games of the season due to injury. The 2023 third-round pick was expected to take on a larger role, but instead was a clear second to Tony Pollard for most of the season. In 11 games with Pollard, Spears trailed in snaps (255 to 381), carries (64 to 150), routes (126 to 161) and targets (32 to 38). Spears saw a late-season boost in usage and scored four TDs in a two-game stretch, but he averaged 7.6 touches and 5.7 fantasy points per game prior to that, and Pollard is still atop the depth chart. Perhaps Spears will carry his late-season momentum into 2025 once he's back on the field, but odds are he'll remain a moderately-used receiving complement to Pollard. He's worth no more than a bench spot."


"Tony Pollard dominated rushing attempts for Tennessee, tallying 14 compared to Spears' three. Spears did serve as a favorite checkdown option for fill-in QB Brandon Allen, but that resulted in little production. Injuries and a poor offensive environment derailed Spears' third year as a pro, as his 291 rushing yards across 13 regular-season games were the fewest of his career. He'll presumably enter the final year of his rookie contract in a backup role to Pollard in 2026."

Tyjae Spears' rushing yards per attempt has increased by 300+% over the past 6 weeks.
