Tyjae Spears is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for running backs. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 6 of the 2023 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 26% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Spears is not just a handcuff. While he doesn't have a ton of standalone value, Spears has played 50% of the snaps in four out of five games and has seen at least eight touches in each of the past four games. His current snap share and touch total will keep him on the RB4 radar moving forward.
If you're desperate at running back, he could be started, unlike strict handcuffs such as Tank Bigsby. He has operated as Tennessee's primary pass-catching back, logging 11 catches over his last three games, which helps his PPR value.
While his RB4 value is a bonus, his real value comes from his contingency value in the event that star running back Derrick Henry were to miss time. Henry has struggled this season and he's in the final year of his contract.
It wouldn't be a complete surprise if he were to be moved at the trade deadline considering how Tennessee's season is currently going. He's averaging 6.1 yards per carry and has made the most of his opportunities this season.
