2024 Season Outlooks

Spears has an excellent opportunity to take a big step forward in Year 2 and he will compete for touches with Tony Pollard. The most impressive part of Spears' rookie season was the role he earned in the passing game. That should carry over with new head coach Brian Callahan. He has an extensive track record involving his backs in the passing game. In 2023, Pollard struggled to return from an injury he suffered during the 2022 postseason and never looked his typical explosive self. If Pollard struggles again in 2024, Spears could be a league-winning pick. You can grab Spears in the Rounds 8-9 range of your drafts.

Spears enters his second NFL season, with Derrick Henry out and Tony Pollard in as his competition for touches. This third-round pick capably handled the ninth-most targets among backs, on the way to more than 800 scrimmage yards in an impressive rookie season. Spears' production as a receiving valve for Will Levis last season offers encouraging evidence he can again excel in a timeshare this season. Given the immense value of targets compared to carries and the natural expectation for Spears to take on more overall work this season, the arrow is pointing up for him as a mid-round RB2/flex option.
