Tyjae Spears - 2025 Dynasty Fantasy Football Sleepers and Trade Targets

Tyjae Spears is a dynasty fantasy football sleeper and trade target for 2025. Read the fantasy football outlook for the Tennessee Titans running back.

RotoBaller Dynasty Ranking: RB41

Dynasty Analysis: Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears has shown his potential in each of his first two NFL seasons. He totaled 838 yards from scrimmage as a rookie and totaled over 90 scrimmage yards in two of the final three games of the 2024 campaign. However, playing behind Derrick Henry (2023) and Tony Pollard (2024) over those two years capped his fantasy upside. 

Although Spears is set to back up Pollard again during the 2025 season, this could be the season we finally see him break out. The Titans have been adamant all offseason about involving the 24-year-old more on offense. Head coach Brian Callahan said last month that he is "excited to see what he can bring to us this year because he's been in a great place."

#Titans HC Brian Callahan on Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears:

“I think in a perfect world, it’s a healthier division of labor… I like, really, both of those players a lot. I think we can do a better job of managing that load so they both play a little more evenly.”

Given that he just turned 24 years old, this is a prime time to buy someone who could be a solid fantasy option for years to come. He is a major weapon in the passing game and ranked 16th among all running backs in fantasy points per opportunity (0.96) last season. If Pollard were to miss any time in 2025, Spears would immediately be a strong RB1. 

In the one game that Pollard missed last season (Week 17), the Tulane product finished as the RB12 while totaling 23 touches and 103 yards from scrimmage. There's a lot to like about Spears in dynasty over the next few years. He is still extremely young and on a Titans offense that should improve with Cam Ward under center.
