Tennessee Titans
68. Titans HC Brian Callahan has called his RBs Tyjae Spears and Tony Pollard “interchangeable” all offseason.
68b. Spears is a better player than Pollard straight up at this point of their careers. Last season, Spears bested Pollard in yards after contact (2.92 vs. 2.61) and missed tackles forced (0.21 vs. 0.15) on a per-carry basis while running behind a worse offensive line in Tennessee than Pollard had in Dallas.
68c. Spears was also far more effective in space, averaging 9.1 yards after the catch as a receiver (RB13). Pollard was one of the worst receiving backs in the league with just 5.96 YAC/reception (45th-of-47 RB).

Washington Commanders
69. Jayden Daniels is basically Discount Anthony Richardson with a worse coaching staff, offensive line, and surrounding weapons. Daniels just has immense upside for our game.
69b. Since 2017, no quarterback has scrambled more often or averaged more rushing yards per game on scrambles than Jayden Daniels. H/T FballInsights.
69c. In his final year at LSU, Daniels rushed for an incredible 1,134 yards and threw for 40 TDs in just 12 games. It led to the second-highest fantasy scoring season by a QB in NCAA history.
69d. For context, Daniels rushed for 94.5 yards per game. This is almost on par with Cam Newton’s 2010 Heisman season (105.2), and it’s slightly better than Jalen Hurts (92.7 rush YPG) in his final 2019 season at Oklahoma.
69e. Daniels (94.5 rush YPG) nearly doubled Anthony Richardson’s (54.5 rush YPG) final season on the ground.
69f. He also averaged more yards as a runner than Kyler Murray (71.5 rushing yards per game) in his 2018 Heisman campaign.
69h. Oh, he also led all QBs in adjusted completion rate (69% per PFF College) on passes of 20 or more air yards last season at LSU.
69i. I see two primary risks here. But at his price (Round 10-11 ADP) the upside outweighs any downside…
The Commanders are 26th in implied points per game (20.9), just behind the Steelers (21.0) and the Saints (21.2). Daniels likely won’t score a ton of touchdowns, but if we get 40-50 rushing yards per game, we’re thrilled. He has the upside for more rushing than that.
Kliff Kingsbury is the second risk. Let’s not forget that his tenure in Arizona ended with franchise QB Kyler Murray screaming at Kingsbury in the middle of a game because the offense was so awful.

Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs tells ESPN that he’s ready to go for Week 1. Said he feels about 98-100% after tweaking his hamstring during camp while running routes. “I’m good, just had a little tweak,” he said. Gibbs said he’s “more confident overall” entering Year 2.

Preseason hamstrings and groins make me nervous. I typically avoid players that have those “strains”.
Sometimes it bites me in the arse, but I’d say more often than not it works out. Those strains tend to linger and cause them to miss more time during the season.

I have no interest in dealing with the strains or the guys that have been sitting out.

Whew . . . now . . .
Dear Chase,
I hope you make the Bengals wish they had signed you at this year's price by showing them you're way better than others they considered your peers.
Sincerely,
The fantasy owner who drafted you in the first round despite the holdout

If tweet fails to load, click here. He’s playing. Took him ‘early’ at the 8 spot on Monday.

On a related note, more for dynasty purposes, Jermaine Burton isn’t expected to contribute and everyone is raving about Iosivas.

Drop bench WRs; Dhop or Curtis Samuel for Dowdle? 10 man PPR.

Mike Williams cracks me up.
Whenever he makes a catch its just him jumping up, falling on his back and it looks like he died out there.
Dude was born hurt.
