BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 44% of Yahoo Leagues
ANALYSIS: Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears hasn’t played since Week 6 because of a hamstring injury. Spears partook in practice last Wednesday before missing Thursday and Friday’s sessions. Unfortunately, the second-year running back didn’t play in the Week 9 win over the New England Patriots.
RB Tyjae Spears is OUT for the #Titans.

Hopefully, Spears can return for Sunday’s matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Titans have leaned on Tony Pollard, giving the veteran running back 18 or more touches in five consecutive games. Last week, he had a season-high 31 touches for 154 scrimmage yards against the Patriots. However, the team has repeatedly talked about lightening his workload.
Fantasy players should add Spears in 12-team leagues. Hopefully, he can return in Week 10. The second-year running back has averaged 6.2 half-point PPR fantasy points per game this season, including a 7.1 fantasy points per game average before the team’s bye week. Spears should see a meaningful workload once he is 100% healthy.
