Jeremy Fowler said Cincinnati aims to exploit Chase Brown’s improved pass-catching, with Zac Taylor calling his receiving ability a potential "strength." Screens and safety-valve throws will help counter defenses selling out to stop Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Brown only caught 14 balls last year; Fowler expects a significant uptick that could make him a weekly PPR flex.

Jeremy Fowler highlighted that Josh Downs soaked up targets from both Anthony Richardson Sr. and Daniel Jones, making acrobatic catches and routinely separating underneath. With Shane Steichen’s offense emphasizing quick throws to the slot, Downs is trending toward a high-volume chain-mover role that could pay off handsomely in full-PPR formats.

Jeremy Fowler reported OC Ben Johnson is scheming touches for DJ Moore all over the formation, including backfield snaps and deep routes off motion. After a 2024 season of low-value screens, Moore now projects for manufactured touches plus downfield opportunities, a formula Fowler says will raise both his weekly floor and spike-week upside.

Jeremy Fowler said Josh Jacobs "looked like the best player on the field" in Packers camp, flashing explosive cuts. Matt LaFleur plans to lean on him much like last year’s 301-carry season; Jacobs has averaged 18.6 carries per game since 2022. With Christian Watson sidelined and a young pass-catching corps still jelling, expect another heavy-usage RB1 campaign.

After watching Friday’s practice, Jeremy Fowler believes a genuine co-RB1 arrangement between Jordan Mason and Aaron Jones is on the table. Mason handled prominent first-team reps and brings "youthful explosion" that staff loves. RB coach Curtis Modkins previously oversaw a perfect 203-carry split for Melvin Gordon and Javonte Williams, a usage pattern Fowler thinks Minnesota could replicate if camp momentum holds.

Jeremy Fowler said Tennessee ran a 75-25 split between Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears last season, but staffers now expect a noticeable shift toward Spears. He carried 84 times with 30 receptions in 2024; coaches believe something near 100 carries is realistic after watching him explode through holes all camp. Pollard is still the feature back, yet Fowler stressed that Spears’ efficiency and expanding role make him a viable every-week flex and an injury-proof stash.

Jeremy Fowler confirmed Keaton Mitchell is back to full speed after last year’s ACL tear and has reclaimed the RB2 spot behind Derrick Henry. Mitchell averaged 5.7 yards per touch in a limited 2024 sample and is again flashing the burst that drew rave reviews pre-injury. Fowler suggested deep-league and best-ball managers stash Mitchell now as the clear contingency plan should Henry’s massive workload finally catch up to him.

Jeremy Fowler observed Tyjae Spears ripping through holes in Titans camp and said the staff is bracing for a sizeable workload bump. Spears logged 84 rushes and 30 receptions last year despite missing five games. Fowler believes 100 carries is a realistic baseline if the 28-year-old Tony Pollard continues to look ordinary. Given Spears’ explosiveness and three-down skill set, Fowler recommended drafting him as an RB4 with league-winning upside should Pollard falter or miss time.
