Key Running Back Insights
Tajay Spears is highlighted as a top priority pickup due to favorable upcoming matchups against defenses that struggle against running backs. After Tony Pollard reinjured his ankle during a game, Spears, who showcased his receiving abilities, becomes an attractive option for fantasy playoffs, especially given the defense's high points allowed to running backs. Additionally, Jerome Ford is set to take over for the injured Nick Chubb, but concerns arise regarding quarterback Dorian Thompson Robinson’s impact on the offense's efficiency. Despite Ford's explosive potential displayed earlier in the season, Spears’ more advantageous situation raises his value significantly in comparison.
