Outlook Kaytron Allen
Third-String Role and Falling Draft Stock Keep Rookie on the Waiver Radar
Kaytron Allen enters his rookie campaign slotted as the third running back on Washington's depth chart behind Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Rachaad White. Even with Jerome Ford sidelined on injured reserve, Allen faces a clear logjam for early-down and passing touches, leaving him with limited standalone value to open the season.
Our projections expect a minor reserve role for the rookie, estimating 30 carries for 125 rushing yards and two touchdowns, plus three receptions for 26 receiving yards (22.0 fantasy points). Unless injuries create a path to meaningful work, his weekly floor is practically nonexistent in standard formats.
Fantasy drafters have cooled on Allen considerably. His draft cost has tumbled from an ADP of 182 in mid-July down to pick 229 by late August, while his roster rate has settled at 4%. At this declining price, he is strictly a late-round dynasty stash rather than a redraft target.

Outlook Tyjae Spears
Pass-Catching Floor Offers Standout Late-Round PPR Value
Tyjae Spears enters the 2026 campaign as the primary complement in Tennessee's backfield behind Tony Pollard. Across his first three NFL seasons, Spears demonstrated dependable third-down utility, hauling in 49 passes on 55 targets in 2025. While his early-down rushing workload remains limited, his reliable pass-catching role gives him a stable floor in PPR formats.
We project Spears to log 100 carries for 410 yards and four touchdowns, while adding 35 receptions for 235 yards and another score, totaling 140.0 fantasy points. That steady secondary workload provides standalone flex viability during bye weeks, alongside substantial contingent upside should Pollard miss time.
Draft momentum for Spears has steadily firmed, climbing from an ADP of 147 in mid-July to roughly 143 today. Rostered in 52% of leagues, our projections view his current price tag as an appealing late-round target in full-PPR formats who offers weekly utility with handcuff value.
