BALLER MOVE: Add in 13+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 24% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Tyjae Spears has emerged as a consistent recommendation in this column. Several factors remain intact that have elevated him among this week’s most compelling options once again.
He has now accumulated 113 snaps, which is only 15 fewer than Derrick Henry. Spears has also averaged 6.1 yards per attempt while generating 122 yards with his 20 carries. Henry had averaged 3.2 per attempt/54 yards per game prior to Week 4, when he secured season-highs in both categories (22 carries/122 yards).

There is also a rising disparity in routes run between both members of Tennessee’s backfield tandem, as Spears has run 45 routes while Henry has been limited to 24.
Henry’s status as the Titans’ lead back will remain unchanged. However, Spears’ level of involvement is significant. He is a dynamic playmaker whose explosiveness will keep him involved in Tennessee’s offense.
Spears is still available in over 75% of all leagues but would also deliver high-end RB2 output if Henry were sidelined during the upcoming weeks. That should incentivize you to secure him for your rosters.
