Spears’ overall workload was capped for the second straight week as a result of him going down with the injury last week against the Jets. Titans HC Brian Callahan had spoken in the wake of Tennessee’s Week 1 loss to the Bears and said that he wanted to get Spears more involved and divvy up touches a bit more evenly between Spears and Pollard –but it’s hard to do that when Spears wasn’t on the field for parts of the game. After initially appearing to be questionable earlier this week, Spears is practicing and appears to be on track to play in Week 3. In their lone healthy game together, Pollard handled the majority of the rushing attempts while Spears ran a majority of the backfield routes. If Callahan sticks to his word, we could potentially see Spears take on an expanded role in the offense – however, with Will Levis off to a shaky start to begin the year, the overall fantasy ceiling for the offense remains relatively low. Pollard can be started as a mid-low RB2 this week regardless of whether Spears plays, while Spears profiles more as a flex option at best.
