Tyjae Spears is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for running backs. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 3 of the 2023 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 17% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Tyjae Spears remains available in 83% of all leagues, although that percentage will diminish in the upcoming weeks. He is embedded directly below Derrick Henry on the Titans’ depth chart. He also possesses the talent to remain unchallenged in his role as the team’s RB2 throughout his rookie season.
Even though Henry remains Tennessee’s primary back, Spears’ speed and elusiveness infuse home run capabilities into the Titans’ attack. Spears’ explosiveness should also propel him toward standalone value during the upcoming weeks if he secures increased involvement in the Titans’ backfield rotation.
Spears led the backfield with 33 snaps in Week 1 while also pacing the tandem of backs in routes run (20) and targets (four) during the season opener. He also played on 22 snaps while assembling 49 rushing yards on eight attempts in Week 2. He ran nine routes and captured both of his targets.
Spears could erupt for significant yardage in an expanded role if Henry is forced to the sideline. His home-run capabilities would also supply you with with RB2 output if that scenario transpires.
