Every season there are some high ranking handcuff running backs who provide upside at cost. Currently, Titans running back Tyjae Spears presents as one of those values at the 10-11 turn on Underdog. The issue is that Spears has now come down with a high ankle sprain.

This puts a damper on the hype that had been building. Titans coaches have been talking about getting Spears more opportunity share in the Titans backfield. With this injury, it will be tough to find out how serious the Titans staff is about increasing his workload. 

Tony Pollard becomes a must click in round 7 on Underdog. Expect a Spears dip in ADP. For best ball drafts, Spears is a safer click due to not having to determine when to start him. For redraft leagues, Spears becomes someone who will likely start the season in the ‘IR’ slot for each respective format. Draft Tony Pollard with utmost confidence as he becomes an excellent zero-RB back to build around.
