Our Thoughts

Tyjae Spears's Preseason Player Analysis

Bottom Line

Spears flashed as a talented runner and receiver last season behind Derrick Henry.

It looked like he might get a shot as the starter this season, but the team invested heavily in Tony Pollard in free agency.

Spears' receiving ability will be his calling card and could make him solid RB3 in PPR with major upside if Pollard gets injured.

What We Learned Last Year

  • Spears’ 453 rushing yards ranked 42nd among RBs. His 52 catches tied for ninth at the position.
  • He did not miss any games due to injury.
  • Spears ranked as the PPR RB34 in total fantasy points and RB42 in points per game.
    • He finished RB12 or better one time. He recorded two games between RB13 and RB24.
  • He ranked 52nd among all ball carriers in rushing success rate at 34.3%.
  • He played 53% of the Titans’ offensive snaps last season.
  • His per-game averages:
    • 5.88 carries
    • 26.6 rushing yards
    • 0.12 rushing TDs
    • 4.12 targets
    • 3.06 catches
    • 22.6 receiving yards
    • 0.06 receiving TDs
  • Among 51 RBs with 90+ carries last year, Spears ranked:
    • 34th in Pro Football Focus rushing grade
    • Eighth in PFF’s Elusive Rating
    • 32nd in NFL Next Gen Stats’ Rush Yards Over Expected Per Attempt
  • His receiving metrics were outstanding. Among 43 RBs with 30+ targets, Spears ranked:
    • Seventh in PFF receiving grade
    • 11th in yards per route run

What to Expect in 2024

  • Spears enters his second season on the Titans, but his first season with:
    • HC and play caller Brian Callahan
    • OC Nick Holz
  • The Titans are expected to perform similarly to last season. They are fourth in highest win total in the AFC South at 6.5 wins on most sportsbooks.
  • They sit tied for 27th in terms of highest Super Bowl odds at +15000 on most sportsbooks.
  • Spears enters his second season at 23 years old. According to our aging curve research, the average RB with Spears’ career and profile will produce at 93% of peak value at age-23.
  • Spears beat new teammate Pollard last year in:
    • Rush yards after contact per attempt
    • PFF Elusive Rating
    • Rush yards over expected per attempt
    • PFF receiving grade
    • Yards per route run

Tyjae Spears Leaves for Potential Concussion

Tyjae Spears Leaves for Potential Concussion

Titans RB Tyjae Spears left in the third quarter of Week 17 to get checked for a concussion. Without Spears (and Tony Pollard), the Titans are down to RBs Julius Chestnut and Josh Kelley.

Titans RB Tyjae Spears is in concussion protocol, HC Brian Callahan said Monday. It's Spears' first documented concussion but still leaves him no better than 50/50 for this weekend's game vs. the Texans. Spears' absence would make Tony Pollard a comfortable RB2 play. He's averaged 21.3 carries and 4.3 targets in three games without Spears this season.

Titans HC Brian Callahan told reporters Monday that RB Tyjae Spears is "week-to-week," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Expect Spears to miss at least the Week 7 game at Buffalo. We'll see beyond that. Tony Pollard, who has already carried 17+ times in four of give games, will face even less of a challenge for work while Spears is out. Julius Chestnut is the only other RB on the active roster.

Titans RB Tyjae Spears is considered "day-to-day" with the ankle injury suffered in Week 2, HC Brian Callahan said Monday. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport called Spears' injury "nothing major." It's good news, although Spears' availability for this weekend's game vs. the Packers remains uncertain. We'll keep you updated on his status throughout the week. Spears' absence would turn RB Tony Pollard into an every-down back.
