Spears (knee) returns to practice, questionable

Tyjae Spears

TEN Running Back #2

Player Stats

Tyjae Spears (knee) is questionable for Tennessee’s Week 6 game against the Colts.

Spears didn’t practice Thursday but was a full-go on Friday. He’ll be a sketchy FLEX option against the Colts in Week 6 assuming he plays; it sure does seem like he will after a full session.

TEN Running Back #2

Tyjae Spears (knee) is questionable for Tennessee’s Week 10 game against the Jaguars.

If Spears can play, this is theoretically the kind of blowout game script that sets him up for FLEX value via PPR scam. We wouldn’t advise chasing it, but we wouldn’t be surprised if it happened. Spears got in a full practice today, which would seem to leave him on the optimistic side of questionable.
Tyjae Spears

TEN Running Back #2

Tyjae Spears (knee) resumed practicing on Thursday.

Spears was listed as a limited participant on today’s injury report, theoretically giving him a chance to play in Week 10 against the Jaguars’ elite run defense. Spears’ potential return could lower Tony Pollard’s snap share a tad, though Spears does not need to be rostered in 10-team leagues.
Tyjae Spears

TEN Running Back #2

Tyjae Spears (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Spears’ lingering knee issue appeared to get worse a few weeks ago when the team scratched him for Week 7. He was held out the following week and even their recent bye doesn’t seem to have done the trick. Tony Pollard will continue to see a glut of touches until Spears gets healthy.
Tyjae Spears

TEN Running Back #2

Tyjae Spears (knee) won’t play in Tennessee’s Week 8 game against the Bengals.

Spears had three DNPs and has not practiced since last Thursday. Michael Carter filled down as the third-down back last week, though all that actually meant is that Tony Pollard got full-time workload. We expect that to continue in Week 8.
Tyjae Spears

TEN Running Back #2

Tyjae Spears (knee) did not practice Thursday.

With two DNPs to start the week, Spears looks unlikely to play on Sunday. He also missed Week 7 with the knee issue. Tony Pollard racked up 28 touches and scored three rushing touchdowns. While we’re not banking on another multi-score outing anytime soon, his role alone is worth an RB2 ranking if Spears remains out.
Tyjae Spears

TEN Running Back #2

Tyjae Spears (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Spears had been playing through the knee issue for a few weeks before being sidelined because of it in Week 7. A DNP today suggests he will miss at least one more game. Tony Pollard will handle the bulk of the backfield touches again this week. He remains a volume-based RB2 versus the Bengals.
Tyjae Spears

TEN Running Back #2

Titans declared RB Tyjae Spears, WR Calvin Ridley, RB Nick Singleton, TE Kylen Granson, T Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, DT Jackie Marshall, and CB Jaylon Jones inactive for Week 7 against the Browns.

As Spears’ knee injury lingers, Tony Pollard continues to see a nice but ultimately meaningless workload in the Tennessee backfield. Pollard has seen at least 14 carries in every game since Week 2, though he only has eight receptions on the season. His lack of involvement in the pass game means Pollard will be a touchdown-dependent flex play in Week 7.
Tyjae Spears

TEN Running Back #2

Tyjae Spears (knee) is questionable for Tennessee’s Week 7 game against the Browns.

Spears has been active off a questionable line twice since Week 4. We’d imagine he’d get there again after a limited Friday session. The touch upside just isn’t there for him to be more than a deep-league FLEX play at this point.
Tyjae Spears

TEN Running Back #2

Tyjae Spears notched a one-yard carry and seven-yard reception in the Titans’ Week 6 win over the Colts.

Spears’ two touches were a new season low, though he’s now been held to three or fewer in three of the past four weeks. The Titans have decided Tony Pollard is more of an every-down back than committee member, erasing what had been low-end FLEX status for his “1B” backfield partner. Despite his supposed contingency value, Spears is droppable if you find yourself in a roster crunch.
Tyjae Spears

TEN Running Back #2

Tyjae Spears is active for Tennessee’s Week 6 game against the Colts.

He was questionable after a full practice, but will play against the Colts as a reasonable-if-unexciting FLEX option. Inactive for the Titans are S Kevin Winston Jr., CB Alontae Taylor (coach’s decision), RB Nick Singleton, T Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, TE Kylen Granson, DL Jordan Elliott and DT Jackie Marshall.

Panthers activated WR Xavier Legette (knee) from injured reserve.

Legette will make his return to a passing offense currently dominated by Tetairoa McMillan, Jalen Coker, and tight end Darren Waller, unlikely to return a usable fantasy score in his first game since Week 2. He is not on the fantasy radar despite the plus matchup against the Saints.

Panthers downgraded Jonathon Brooks (core) to out for Week 10 against the Saints.

Brooks will miss his seventh consecutive game as he attempts to return from a core muscle injury. He managed a week of limited sessions before initially being listed as doubtful, ultimately ruled out. Chuba Hubbard will again serve as a legitimate workhorse in a plus matchup against the Saints and can be treated as a back-end RB1 in Week 10.

Cowboys placed RB Tyler Goodson (ankle/knee) on injured reserve.

It’s yet another blow to the depth of a backfield devastated by injuries this season, leaving lead back Javonte Williams again positioned well to see a workhorse role against the 49ers. The team elevated running back Israel Abanikanda in an associated move, who is likely to serve as the primary change of pace option in Week 10.

Texans ruled out David Montgomery (groin) for Week 10 against the Browns.

Montgomery entered the weekend listed as questionable after missing the previous three games plus the team’s Week 8 bye. Fantasy managers will have to wait another week for his return, while Woody Marks retains viable FLEX status playing as the top option alongside recent signee Emari Demercado.

Pat Freiermuth (illness) is questionable for Week 10 against the Bengals.

Freiermuth was added to the injury report Saturday as questionable with an illness. A mid-range TE2 when healthy, Freiermuth’s potential absence likely wouldn’t change much for Darnell Washington’s fantasy outlook. Fantasy managers counting on Freiermuth will need to be proactive about alternative options as the Steelers play the Bengals on Sunday Night Football, which airs on NBC and Peacock.

Cooper seemed to be trending in the right direction this week as he got in a full practice on Friday. Now he’s expected to play against the Bills, according to Zenitz. Cooper led the Jets in targets last week and will be in the WR3 mix against Buffalo this week.

Mitchell remains questionable with a knee injury that put him on the injury report after getting in a full practice Friday. However concerning Mitchell’s new injury seemed, he’s expected to play, according to Zenitz. With Garrett Wilson (concussion) and Omar Cooper Jr. (ankle) also expected to play, Mitchell is a boom-or-bust dart throw at best in Week 10.

Etienne practiced in full this week and now Pelissero reports he’s in line to return against the Panthers in Week 10. The 27-year-old running back deserves FLEX consideration in a plus matchup against Carolina, though he could be on a snap count in his first game in over a month.
