TEN RB Tyjae Spears - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Indianapolis Colts

Tyjae Spears had a big day last week against the Bengals with 87 yards on six catches. Spears also scored a pair of touchdowns, one each on the ground and in the passing game. Tony Pollard was limited with an ankle injury but Spears helped keep the backfield in check for the Titans. Pollard is questionable for Sunday. If he can't go, it could open up plenty of opportunities for Spears as the main back against the Colts. If Pollard is able to play, Spears reverts to a borderline flex option. Tennessee plays in the early window, so we'll know by late Sunday morning if Pollard is playing.

TEN RB Tyjae Spears - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

Tyjae Spears returned from a concussion in Week 13 but the Titans may have been easing him back into action. The game also got out of hand early that it wasn't worth putting Spears on the field at that point. Spears had just one carry in the game. He should see more work this week against the Jaguars, but Tony Pollard is still the clear RB1 with Spears as the spell back. Spears is a flex option if you're in a pinch with six teams on a bye this week.

TEN RB Tyjae Spears - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Minnesota Vikings

Tyjae Spears returned from a hamstring injury last week and may have gotten himself back into a timeshare with Tony Pollard. Spears had 10 touches for 51 yards last week, getting a bit more work as Pollard was out momentarily with a foot injury. Ultimately, Spears played 25 snaps to Pollard's 29. That said, Spears and the Titans face a tough task on the ground. The Vikings are one of the most stout rushing defenses this season, No. 2 in the league in both rushing yards per game allowed and fantasy points per game allowed to running backs. Spears is a deeper flex option.

TEN RB Tyjae Spears - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Los Angeles Chargers

After missing three games with a hamstring injury, Tyjae Spears is back in the lineup this week against the Chargers. But as we saw early in the season, Spears is the clear RB2 and a change-of-pace back to Tony Pollard. Between that, his injury and the strong rush defense of the Chargers, Spears is a low-end Flex option/borderline RB3. Spears may be better off on the bench this week.

TEN RB Tyjae Spears - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Miami Dolphins

Tyjae Spears has become a change-of-pace back to Tony Pollard. Pollard has 50 touches to Spears' 22 this season. Spears ran the football just twice against the Packers. Week 4 brings a more favorable matchup for the Titans, but Spears is a deeper-league option only with his limited work.

TEN RB Tyjae Spears - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Green Bay Packers

Tyjae Spears has started taking a backseat to Tony Pollard, being more of a change-of-pace back rather than the 1B to Pollard's 1A. He has 16 touches to Pollard's 41. Spears is also dealing with an ankle injury, though he did practice in full on Friday. Spears is a deep flex option as long as he remains a clear No. 2 behind Pollard, even in a favorable matchup against the Packers.

TEN RB Tyjae Spears - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. New York Jets

Tyjae Spears saw four targets in Week 1, but so did Tony Pollard. Spears also had just four rushing attempts to Pollard's 16. Spears will have a chance to make some noise this week against the Jets, who surprisingly struggled against the run last week and that was with the 49ers not having Christian McCaffrey. But for now, Spears is taking somewhat of a backseat to Pollard. Consider Spears a deeper flex this week.
