Tyjae Spears out-snapped Tony Pollard for the second straight week. Spears held an 11-8 edge this time around, bringing the running total to 24-17. Both backs have six carries and Spears has four targets to Pollard's one. It looks like they could be in more of a true committee, though I don't want to change my priors too heavily based on preseason running back usage.

Spears' snap and target edge suggests true committee over Pollard lead

Spears out-snapped Tony Pollard for the second straight week, holding an 11-8 edge this time around and bringing the running total to 24-17; both backs have six carries but Spears has four targets to Pollard's one. While Bryce Young doesn't want to change his priors too heavily based on preseason running back usage, it looks like they could be in more of a true committee rather than Pollard handling the bulk of the carries.
