Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.
Titans RB Tyjae Spears (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. He's a long shot to be cleared in time for Sunday's game vs. the Texans. His absence would leave RB Tony Pollard in a workhorse role -- albeit in a tough matchup against the league's No. 4 RB defense.
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 RB Tyjae Spears left in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Vikings for a concussion check. No word yet on whether he's been placed in the protocol. We should get an update on Spears within the next 24 hours. This would be his first documented concussion.
Titans RB Tony Pollard split touches with Tyjae Spears in a Week 10 loss to the Chargers. Pollard rushed 9 times for 44 yards, adding 4 catches on 4 targets. Spears gathered 47 yards on 7 carries and caught 3 of 4 targets for 4 yards.
Titans RB Tyjae Spears (hamstring) practiced all week and is off the final injury report. He’ll play vs. the Chargers on Sunday for the first time since Week 6. Spears averaged 6.8 carries and 3.0 targets per game over the first four weeks of the season, so he'd be a desperation Week 10 fantasy start. But his return is a slight ding to RB Tony Pollard's outlook.
Titans RB Tyjae Spears (hamstring) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. That puts him on track to play vs. the Chargers on Sunday for the first time since Week 6. Spears averaged just 6.8 carries and 3.0 targets per game over the first four weeks of the season, so he'd be a desperation Week 10 fantasy start. But Spears' return is at least a slight ding to RB Tony Pollard's outlook.
Titans RB Tyjae Spears (hamstring) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. He was limited last Wednesday before sitting out Thursday and Friday and then missing the Patriots game. We'll keep tabs on Spears' status over the next few days leading up to this weekend's game vs. the Chargers. Spears isn't a viable Week 10 fantasy option, but his return would put a dent in RB Tony Pollard's fantasy value.
So much for the foot injury that kept Titans RB Tony Pollard out of practice Wednesday-Friday. The former Cowboy handled 31 touches for 154 yards in an OT win over New England.
Titans RB Tony Pollard (foot) did not practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Patriots. We haven’t seen any other updates on his status. RB Tyjae Spears (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 9. He practiced on Wednesday before being sidelined the next two days, so it looks like he suffered a setback. If Pollard can’t play this weekend, Tennessee would be down to RB Julius Chestnut and practice squaders Joshua Kelley and Jabari Small.
Titans RBs Tony Pollard (foot) and Tyjae Spears (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday. It's Pollard's second straight missed practice, while Spears was a limited participant on Wednesday. We'll see how these guys are listed on Friday's final injury report, RB Julius Chestnut is the next man up for Tennessee.
Titans RB Tyjae Spears (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday's practice but is on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Patriots, according to HC Brian Callahan. “Should be good to go this week," Callahan said of Spears. "Again, we’ll see, we’ll take it day to day on what he feels like after some practices, but expect him to have a good chance to play.” Spears would be a desperation Week 9 fantasy play but figures to take some touches from RB Tony Pollard.
Titans RB Tyjae Spears (hamstring) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game vs. the Lions. He put in three limited practices this week and should have a good chance to play Week 9. His absence again leaves the backfield to RB Tony Pollard, who handled 16 of 19 RB carries and six targets last week. He's a volume-based RB2 play in a brutal matchup against Detroit's second-ranked RB defense.
Titans RB Tyjae Spears (hamstring) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Lions. He put in three limited practices this week, which seemingly gives him a good chance to return for this one. Spears isn't a Week 8 fantasy option, but his return would put a dent in RB Tony Pollard's volume projection.
Titans RB Tyjae Spears (hamstring) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. That gives him a shot to play vs. the Lions this weekend, although HC Brian Callahan was non-commital on Spears' availability for that one when asked on Wednesday. We'll see how Spears progresses over the next few days. He won't be much of a Week 8 fantasy option but would ding RB Tony Pollard's value.
Titans RB Tyjae Spears (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Bills. That should leave RB Tony Pollard in a workhorse role. He handled 12 of 13 RB opportunities (carries + targets) after Spears exited last week’s game.
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 suffered a hamstring injury in Sunday's game vs. the Colts. He's officially questionable to return. Spears' absence will leave RB Tony Pollard in an every-down role.
Titans RB Tyjae Spears set season highs in carries (15) and yards (39) in Monday’s win over Miami. But Tony Pollard again led the backfield, this time with 88 yards on 22 carries. Tennessee lost QB Will Levis to injury in the first quarter and nursed a lead throughout the game. That produced 37 total team RB attempts.
Titans RB Tyjae Spears (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Packers. He put in a full practice on Friday, so we’re not expecting the ankle to be a major issue. Still, Spears would be a shaky fantasy starter after seeing just four carries with four targets in a healthy Week 1.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirms that Titans RB Tyjae Spears (ankle) is expected to play today. He's listed as questionable but was a full-go in Friday's practice. We're not expecting the ankle to be a major factor today, but Spears remains a fringy fantasy play.
