Newer update on Tyjae Spears: Tyjae Spears injury update: doesn't practice Thursday ahead of Week 6 vs. Colts (knee)

Tyjae Spears Expected to Play Despite Ankle Injury

The Titans running back is reportedly set to suit up in Week 4.

By Cole Hartwell

Tyjae Spears, dealing with an ankle injury and listed as questionable, is expected to play today against the Titans’ opponent, according to reports. The news comes after the running back was limited in practice leading up to the game.

What happened

Spears has been managing an ankle issue that left him questionable on the injury report. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that Spears is expected to play in Week 4. His availability was previously uncertain, but the latest expectation is that he will be active.

Context

Spears has played in all three games this season, operating as the Titans’ RB2. Through Week 3, he has 13 carries for 58 rushing yards and six targets, catching four passes for 41 receiving yards. His snap share has fluctuated, with 50% in Week 1, 36% in Week 2, and 47% in Week 3. He has yet to score a touchdown.

What’s next

The Titans’ Week 4 matchup will kick off later today. With Spears expected to play, his workload will likely depend on game script and his effectiveness despite the ankle issue. Monitor inactive lists before kickoff for official confirmation.

#TItans RB Tyjae Spears, dealing with an ankle injury and questionable, is expected to play today.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Spears’ expected availability provides some depth for fantasy managers, but his fantasy value remains limited. He has not exceeded 9.0 PPR points in a game this season and has yet to find the end zone. With an 8.0 PPR projection for Week 4, he is a low-end flex option at best in deep leagues. He is best left on benches or the waiver wire in most formats. If Spears is active, he could see a slight boost in passing situations, but his role behind the lead back and the lingering ankle concern make him a risky start. Monitor pregame reports, and only consider Spears if desperate in PPR formats.
