Draft note

by John Paulsen

Spears has shown flashes of explosiveness through his first two seasons, but the volume just hasn’t been there—he averaged 8.9 touches per game in 2023 and 9.5 in 2024, even after Derrick Henry was replaced by Tony Pollard. Despite the limited usage, Spears continues to impress on a per-touch basis, with 2.2 yards after contact per attempt and strong tackle-breaking metrics. He also finished 17th among 59 qualified backs in yards per route run, flashing legitimate receiving chops. Coaches have hinted at a more balanced approach in the backfield this season, which could open the door for Spears to carve out a larger role alongside Pollard. And with rookie quarterback Cam Ward now under center, the Titans’ offense may be more efficient and offer more scoring opportunities than in years past. As long as Pollard is healthy, Spears remains a high-end handcuff and occasional FLEX option. But if Pollard were to miss time, Spears would immediately become a plug-and-play RB2 with upside in both the run and pass game.

Titans RB Tyjae Spears having great offseason

A to Z Sports

"One of the things about Tyjae Spears is I heard a lot about Tyjae when I got here, about the type of person and the player that he was," said Brian Callahan this offseason. "And we've had conversations, but he did have a challenging year, both personally and professionally and there was some things that we've had to sit and visit about on different occasions. I give a lot of credit to him because he's had an unbelievable offseason in terms of his energy, his effort, his clarity and what he wants to get done. So I've been really pleased with where Tyjae is at."

Fantasy Impact:

The hope for Spears' owners is he'll be a bigger part of the offense this season. While the story goes on to say Pollard had his best year statistically, and is viewed as the starter, the Titans run game overall was not that impressive. Pollard ranked just 19th when it came to gaining 10 yards or more, according to the story. An impressive offseason by Spears is at least a good sign, but right now he's probably not more than a depth piece or a handcuff for most redraft leagues.

TEN RB Tyjae Spears - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Jacksonville Jaguars

Tyjae Spears is now in for a heavier workload after the Titans ruled Tony Pollard out for Sunday with an ankle injury and an illness. And Spears gets a great matchup as the Jaguars rank as one of the worst fantasy defenses against opposing running backs. There’s always someone that comes out of nowhere to potentially win a fantasy championship. Could Spears be that one this year?
