BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 44% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears saw season-high usage in Week 13 once Henry left. The rookie running back demonstrated true upside with a solid workload, but he's likely locked into a number two role.
Like Elijah Mitchell and Kenneth Gainwell, Spears offers little to no week-to-week value for fantasy managers. The reason to stash Spears is in the event of a Derrick Henry injury. If Henry were to miss time, Spears would walk into a role that would afford him 15 or more touches per game.
He would end up being ranked as a RB2/3 depending on the matchup. He'd be volume-dependent since the Tennessee offense isn't very good. If Mitchell and Gainwell are already rostered, taking a shot on Spears could make some sense if you're looking for a high-upside, lottery play.
