From the article

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. Like most people, I assumed Pollard would handle the bulk of the carries this season with Spears playing mostly on passing downs. 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.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Snap and target advantage suggests committee role; preseason caution warranted.

Spears out-snapped Tony Pollard for the second straight week with 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. However, coaches tend to play things closer to the vest at RB in preseason games, meaning they aren't always a good indicator of regular season splits.
