The Titans backfield is taking shape, but not in the way the team hoped for. Third year back, Tyjae Spears is being placed on injured reserve as he still hasn’t recovered from a high ankle sprain. 

Fantasy gamers have been hopeful of an ascendance for Spears as he finished the 2025 season with 3 top-12 weeks in fantasy football. While much was made in the offseason about Spears expanding his opportunity share in 2025, Tony Pollard has always been the favorite of the coaching staff.

Tony Pollard is a locked in RB-1 who goes at the end of round 6 on Underdog. Spears can currently be had in late round 14 and has fallen 2 rounds in the last week. Expect Pollard’s ADP to climb into round 5 while Spears becomes an early IR stash in redraft leagues.
