BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 50% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Tyjae Spears is somehow available in 50% of all leagues even though the incentive for having the explosive rookie contained on rosters in all leagues remains enormous.
Spears has accumulated 197 snaps from Weeks 1-8. He has also generated 198 rushing yards with his 34 attempts while averaging 5.8 yards per attempt.
The rookie played on 30 snaps in Week 8. He was limited to three carries, but still generated 27 yards (9.0 yards per attempt).
Even though Spears did not operate with the same number of attempts that he had attained in recent outings, that does not alter the factors that have vaulted him among the most enticing backs to target on the waiver wire.
Spears is also pacing Tennessee’s backfield in routes run (114) targets (24/3.4 per game), and receptions (18/2.6 per game). His ability to operate as an explosive difference-maker provides the potential for sizable numbers in any matchup - even as he shares touches with Derrick Henry.
He is also positioned to operate as a critical roster resource if Henry is sidelined or jettisoned before the NFL trade deadline. This should be a significant source of motivation to secure Spears while he is still available.
