Should You Start or Sit Tyjae Spears in Week 11?
After missing three straight games, Tyjae Spears was on the field for a season-high 47.1% of the Titans’ offensive snaps. It’s an interesting development but not one that requires action on your part just yet. We are through 10 weeks, and the next time Spears reaches 11 expected PPR points will be his first. I’m going to need proof that this team views him as a back capable of handling reasonable volume before plugging him in.
That said, his 78.8% career catch rate and this franchise telling us that they value what he can do out of the backfield in space makes Spears an interesting DFS punt play in a tournament setting. I’m not going overboard on him, but if he’s on the field for half of their snaps and the aggressive Vikings force checkdowns in bulk, this is the type of player who could turn his 6-8 touches into 15 PPR points.
