Tyjae Spears in concussion protocol.

Related players: Tony Pollard, Julius Chestnut

Spears was back in action in Week 10 and essentially split the work with seven carries and a team-high 47 yards rushing with three catches for four yards. Pollard out-touched Spears 13-10 in the game. This past week Spears exited early but the running game was held in check. If Spears can't play in Week 12, Pollard would likely lead the way, but it would be a tough matchup against the Texans.

Titans RB Tyjae Spears is listed out for Sunday’s game on Tennessee’s injury report.

RB Tony Pollard is listed as questionable.

It looks like this could be the Chestnut show, but we won't know until Sunday. If that is the case, this is a situation we should save for DFS contests, not necessarily in redraft lineups.

Tyjae Spears, Keondre Coburn, Treylon Burks are OUT for the Titans

In a follow-up tweet, Kuharsky mentioned that Burks may be heading to IR, so he can freely be dropped, even in Dynasty leagues.

Pollard should get a massive role this weekend, and profiles as a potential RB1.

Titans coach Brian Callahan tells reporters that RB Tyjae Spears is considered week-to-week with a hamstring injury.

The week to week designation means Spears is very much in doubt for Week 7 and could miss more time than that. Any time missed should mean a potential bump in fantasy value for Pollard with RB3 Chestnut possibly also mixing in.

Tyjae Spears will likely be listed as QUESTIONABLE but Brian Callahan expects him to be good to go for the Titans on Sunday.

Spears left the Titans' Week 2 game late, but has still been far out-touched by Pollard through their first two matchups. Pollard has 43 opportunities to Spears' 16, making the latter un-startable in fantasy until he shows he can steal more of the workload. Pollard is a low-end RB2 against the Packers.

And Tyjae Spears should be OK... Nothing major.

Spears is the RB2 behind Pollard, who finished with 17 carries and 62 yards, but maybe more important was Pollard collecting five catches for 40 yards. It looks like Spears should be good for Week 3 - and we'll continue to monitor how practice goes this week, however, Spears looks to be running behind Pollard at this point.

The distribution of touches for Titans RBs wasn't where Brian Callahan wanted it to be. But he noted that Tony Pollard ran the ball well and in the 2nd half they had trouble sustaining drives which hindered opportunities to get others involved.

Pollard was the top back in Week 1 despite a summer full of seeing both Pollard and Spears listed as RB1 on the depth chart and talks of a split in workload. While that wasn't the case, the good news here for Spears and his fantasy owners is there is at least some coach-speak about getting more of a balance in touches going forward. Pollard had 19 touches to Spears' 8 in Week 1. Spears owners may have to use the "wait-and-see" approach with Spears before putting him in lineups for Week 2, however.

While they moved quickly to sign Tony Pollard in March, they don’t project the former Cowboy will play a similar role to the one that Travis Henry filled in Tennessee. Last year’s third-round pick Tyjae Spears is also on hand and head coach Brian Callahan made it clear on Tuesday that he expects both players to see plenty of time in the offense this season.

“The fun part for me is: How are we going to deploy those guys?,” Callahan said, via the team’s website. “Maybe they both play at the same time, maybe one gets hot and you let him run, maybe we just rotate back and forth. I don’t know what that’s going to look like yet. But they are both going to play quite a bit of football for us, and I don’t view either one of them as a starter or a back-up. They are both starting players to me.”

Not exactly what fantasy owners want to hear. The statement makes a lot of sense and probably shouldn't come as a surprise. However, many consider Pollard and Spears to be of the same mold. As you would expect, the expectation of both players seeing lots of time puts a hit on their rankings. We have Pollard ranked 32nd and Spears 34th, with Pollard's ADP in the 8th round and Spears' the 9th round. Hopefully we get a better feel by the time fantasy drafts come around, but it looks like both players could be Zero RB targets for those using that approach.

The Titans are giving former Cowboys RB Tony Pollard a 3-year deal worth $24M.

Pollard had moderate success when taking over the Cowboys backfield last season, but that was heavily influenced by volume. Pollard should be considered a top-30 option heading into 2024, while Tyjae Spears should be in very heavy consideration as a late-round option as his ADP dips following the signing.

Tennessee running back Derrick Henry said he is pondering his future after a frustrating 19-16 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday that officially eliminated the Titans from playoff contention.

"Yeah, definitely today you had that feeling [that it could be the end of my career with the Titans]," said Henry, who is normally one to stay in the moment. "I had hope of kind of slipping in there [the playoffs], and then being eliminated with three games left. I've been here my whole career. Definitely wanted to go out strong, which that isn't the case."

The Titans will make a decision regarding the 29-year-old Henry, who is set to become a free agent after the four-year, $50 million contract he signed in 2020 runs out after this season. Tennessee is projected to have $91.8 million in cap space this offseason, so signing Henry is a possibility, the story went on to say. However, rookie Spears' 410 snaps are just one fewer than Henry this season the story also pointed out. With the playoffs out of reach, the Tians could opt to give Spears more looks going forward the rest of the season, which is something fantasy owners of both players will want to consider.
