Remember in the offseason when Titans coaches stated there would be a 50-50 split in the backfield? That turned out to be far from true.
Even when Tyjae Spears was healthy, Tony Pollard dominated touches. The second-year back is now dealing with a concussion. But he still offers fantasy football value upon his return.
When is Spears coming back to action? What is his fantasy football outlook when he returns? Let's dive in.

Spears has to clear the league's protocol to return in Week 13. He was limited in practice, a sign that he's progressing in his recovery.
Tyjae Spears Fantasy Football Outlook
Tyjae Spears is one of several running backs who offer league-winning potential if the starter ahead of them gets hurt. That group includes Trey Benson, Tyler Allgeier, Ray Davis, Cam Akers, Zach Charbonnet, and more.
Handcuff RBs rostered on under 45% of ESPN squads who are probably one injury away from being a ~top-15 fantasy option rest of the way:
Tyler Allgeier (41.6%)
Tyjae Spears (40.4%)
Trey Benson (28%)
Roschon Johnson (17.2%)
Braelon Allen (16%)
Blake Corum (14.2%)
Ray Davis (11.9%)— Ian Hartitz (@Ihartitz) November 26, 2024
We're currently witnessing this exact situation with Breece Hall (knee). Braelon Allen becomes a must-start running back if Hall can't play.
That's the value that Spears holds for the rest of the season. The difference between Spears and others in the group is that he holds standalone value with a handful of touches per game.
