BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ PPR Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4
ANALYSIS: Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears hasn't done over 30 rushing yards since Week 5 as veteran Derrick Henry continues to be the team's go-to back on the ground. Fantasy managers shouldn't really expect that to change in Week 11 when the Titans take on the Jacksonville Jaguars.
What fantasy managers are hoping for is a repeat of last week's receiving performance, when Spears caught four of his five targets for 42 yards. It was the third time in the last five games that Spears has finished with 35 or more receiving yards.
The Jacksonville Jaguars allow the second-most receiving yards per game to opposing running backs at 52.0 yards, trailing only the Chicago Bears. That's a major positive mark for Spears this week.
Relying on receiving production from a team's No. 2 running back is never an ideal scenario when building a fantasy lineup. However, this is just such a good matchup for Spears that he winds up with RB4 value this week even though he'll almost certainly end up doing very little in the actual run game. He's definitely got bust potential, but in a full PPR league, there's enough upside to keep Spears in the fantasy picture.
