Tyjae Spears Fantasy Stats

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (ankle) has returned to Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the New York Giants. Spears, who was already questionable to play in Sunday's game after missing practice during the week, had two carries for six yards before leaving the game. Tony Pollard has led Tennessee's backfield against New York, logging 17 carries for 74 rushing yards. He should continue to lead the way for the Titans, especially if Spears has further aggravated the ankle injury.

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the New York Giants after appearing to aggravate the ankle injury he brought into Week 3. Spears was already questionable before kickoff after missing practice Wednesday and Thursday and returning in a limited capacity Friday. He had two carries for six yards before leaving. Terry McCormick reported that Spears appeared to re-injure the ankle, so the extent of the setback is not yet clear. Tony Pollard had already been handling most of Tennessee's backfield work and would be the main option if Spears cannot return.

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the New York Giants, according to Turron Davenport. Spears missed practice Wednesday and Thursday before returning in a limited capacity Friday and carried a questionable designation into the weekend. He has 10 carries for 53 yards and four catches for 41 yards through the first two games. Spears has continued to work behind Tony Pollard while maintaining a role as both a runner and receiver out of the backfield. Pollard is also available after dealing with an ankle issue this week, so Tennessee will have both of its top running backs against New York.

The Tennessee Titans are hopeful that running back Tyjae Spears (ankle) will be able to play in Sunday's Week 3 contest against the New York Giants, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL.com. He practiced in a limited capacity on Friday and was listed as questionable entering the weekend. While the Titans sound cautiously optimistic that Spears will suit up, there are a couple of factors to consider here. Most importantly, he'll need to work out pregame to determine if he's healthy enough to play. Additionally, there's some messy weather in the forecast, including heavy rain that could lead to sloppy field conditions. The Titans will need to determine whether Spears' injured ankle can handle running and cutting in the rain. Even if Spears does suit up, he's the backup to Tony Pollard and will likely rank in the RB4 tier for fantasy football this week.

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Friday, but he is listed as questionable to play in Week 3 on Sunday in New York against the Giants, according to Jim Wyatt of the team's official website. Spears came out of the Week 2 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles with ankle soreness and did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday. Backfield mate Tony Pollard was also dealing with some ankle soreness, but he returned to practice on Thursday and has been cleared to play this weekend as the Titans' lead back. The 25-year-old Spears continues to occupy a change-of-pace role behind Pollard, mostly in the passing game. Through the first two weeks, he had 10 carries for 53 yards (5.3 yards per carry) and caught four passes for 41 yards as a receiver. With Spears looking iffy to play this weekend, fantasy managers should be looking for other options as an RB3/flex in PPR formats. If Spears is ruled out on Sunday, Nicholas Singleton should operate as the RB2 for the Titans behind Pollard.

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (ankle) will be limited in practice on Friday, according to Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com. Spears missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, so his return to the field on Friday should give him at least a chance to suit up this Sunday against the New York Giants. However, he is definitely more questionable to play this weekend than backfield mate Tony Pollard (ankle), who is also dealing with ankle soreness this week. Pollard missed practice on Wednesday, but he was limited on Thursday and upgraded to a full session on Friday. Fantasy managers should expect the 25-year-old Spears to take a questionable tag into the weekend, potentially making him a game-time decision for Week 3 in the Big Apple. Through two weeks in the change-of-pace role behind Pollard, Spears has 10 carries for 53 yards (5.3 yards per carry) and four catches on six targets for 41 yards. If both he and Pollard are active this weekend, Spears will once again be in play as a flex option for fantasy managers in PPR formats.

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (ankle) was not seen during the open portion of his team's practice on Thursday, per ESPN's Turron Davenport. Spears missed practice on Wednesday due to an ankle injury and could be trending toward being inactive for the Titans' Week 3 matchup against the New York Giants. Across the first two weeks of 2026, Spears has recorded 10 carries for 53 yards and four catches for 41 yards on six targets. The 25-year-old has operated in a complementary role to Titans RB1 Tony Pollard (ankle) as the team's main pass-catcher out of the backfield. If Spears is unable to play in Week 3, Pollard could be in line for a larger workload. Titans reserve backs Julius Chestnut and Nicholas Singleton could also see more playing time against the Giants.

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (soreness) is not practicing on Wednesday, with head coach Robert Saleh attributing his absence to general soreness. Both Spears and starter Tony Pollard were given the day off as the team begins preparation for a Week 3 matchup with the Giants. Now in his fourth season with the Titans, Spears was expected to carve out a significant pass-catching role after a strong training camp, but he has caught only two passes in each of the team's first two games. Through two weeks, only the Vikings have gained fewer total yards than the Titans, making fantasy viability difficult to find out of Tennessee. While neither Spears nor Pollard appears at risk of missing time, their statuses will need to be monitored throughout the week, and if either or both face limitations, it could lead to an expanded role for fifth-round rookie Nicholas Singleton.

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears ran for 41 yards on only seven carries in Sunday's close loss to the Eagles, adding another 29 yards on two receptions, showing encouraging efficiency to overcome a lack of usage. Expected to work primarily as the team's pass-catching back, Spears has caught only four passes through two games despite playing from behind or in a neutral game script on nearly every Titans possession. The fourth-year back still has some waiver appeal, but remains a difficult start as long as veteran Tony Pollard is healthy. Through two weeks, Pollard has seen the majority of running back snaps and leads Spears 21 carries to 10, while still splitting passing-down work. The Titans face the Giants in Week 3, and after an encouraging Week 1 outing against the Cowboys, a Monday night tilt with the Rams should provide further evidence of whether New York's defense is one to avoid early in the year.

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears had three carries for 12 yards and two receptions on four targets for 12 yards in the 23-10 loss to the New York Jets. The Titans' offense was unproductive in Week 1, totaling 208 yards and ranking last in the NFL through Week 1. The good news for Spears was that the split was nearly 50/50 with Tony Pollard. Spears cut into Pollard's early-down work while keeping his pass-down role, but with this offense not clicking against the Jets, it's difficult to envision both backs consistently producing. They face the Philadelphia Eagles next week, but with their current committee, Spears only has value as a handcuff or PPR option in deep leagues.
