Tyjae Spears Opens Wednesday Practice as DNP with Concussion


As has been the case all season long, the injury bug has once again bitten Spears. Even in games where he’s been active and healthy, he’s largely played second fiddle to incumbent RB1 Tony Pollard – he has yet to score more than 12 points in a game and has missed three games so far this season. Of course, a potential absence from Spears is much less about Spears himself than it is about Tony Pollard, who will presumably unlock his workhorse role once again in the Titans backfield. It’s a relatively tough matchup this week against the Texans, but as we know, volume is the best medicine for fantasy running backs. Not practicing Wednesday more than likely puts Spears on track to be inactive this week, and barring a late-week turnaround, fantasy managers should expect to have Pollard in their lineups with potential 20+ opportunity upside. Pay attention to practice reports later this week to ensure that Spears is, indeed, out, but the early indication is that this could be a one-man show in Tennessee as it was from Weeks 7-9.
