BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 40% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Tennesse Titans running back Tyjae Spears has shown flashes this season but remains behind star Derrick Henry in the pecking order. He'll need more opportunities to be consistently in lineups but has some value in deeper leagues thanks to his pass-catching volume.
He's the team's primary pass-catching running back. Out of 10 games this season, he has six games with more than five half-PPR points, but just one game with more than 10. He's basically a boring RB4 with Derrick Henry healthy. Spears holds handcuff value. If Henry were to miss time, Spears would walk into a bell-cow role and would handle the vast majority of the backfield touches in Tennessee.
However, with rookie Will Levis under center, the offense has been very up and down. He'd be a volume-dependent RB2, but given the state of their offense and offensive line, it's hard to get too excited about his prospects even in the event Henry were to be hurt. He's a worthwhile handcuff still, as he's one of the few No. 2 running backs who would inherit the majority of touches.
