Hits pay dirt Sunday Spears rushed nine times for 59 yards and a touchdown while catching all three of his targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 38-14 loss to Indianapolis.

Impact Tony Pollard led Tennessee with 11 carries, but Spears outproduced the veteran starter in every other facet Sunday. The nine carries also represented a new personal best through four healthy appearances this season. The 1-7 Titans may opt to feature the 24-year-old more prominently in the second half of the season if the team offense continues to struggle. As for Week 9, Spears remains stuck in a timeshare with Pollard, limiting both players' value to deeper formats against the Chargers next Sunday.

Records 40 yards from scrimmage Spears rushed the ball five times for 22 yards in Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Patriots. He added three receptions on four targets for 18 yards.

Impact The Titans attempted only 12 rushes in the game, with Spears splitting the workload almost exactly evenly with Tony Pollard. More surprising was that Pollard out-produced him as a pass catcher, a role that Spears had seemingly taken over since his return to the field. While he's added an element to the Tennessee offense, the unit is poor enough that Spears won't be able to sustain fantasy vlaue so long as he's in a split with Pollard.

Gains 50 yards on nine touches Spears rushed five times for 31 yards and caught all four of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Raiders.

Impact Spears more than doubled his total touches in his second game back from an ankle injury. Tony Pollard (10-34-0) still spearheaded the Titans' backfield, but the gap in touch distribution inched even closer Sunday. The speedy backup will continue vying for more snaps against the Patriots next Sunday.

Cleared to face Vegas Spears (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Spears upgraded to full participation in Friday's practice after a pair of limited sessions. After handling just four carries for 14 yards in his Week 5 season debut against the Cardinals, Spears will look to take on a larger role Sunday as the complementary option to Tony Pollard in Tennessee's backfield.

Another limited practice Spears (ankle) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Impact Spears was also limited Wednesday, so the running back will likely need to practice fully Friday in order to approach Sunday's game against the Raiders without an injury designation. In his return from IR in Week 5, Spears recorded a 25 percent snap share in his team's 22-21 win over the Cardinals en route to carrying four times for 14 yards while working behind fellow RB Tony Pollard.

OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in practice Spears (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.

Impact This is likely just maintenance for the ankle injury that sent Spears to injured reserve for Weeks 1-4. He returned this past Sunday to play 26 percent of offensive snaps in a 22-21 win at Arizona, taking four carries for 14 yards and finishing without a target on 26 percent route share. Spears could earn more work as the year progresses, but Tony Pollard has a strong case to remain the lead runner and also get a decent chunk of the pass snaps. The Titans head to Las Vegas this weekend for a matchup between last-place teams.

OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Four carries in 2025 debut Spears rushed the ball four times for 14 yards in Sunday's 22-21 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Spears was activated from injured reserve and able to suit up for the first time in 2025 after recovering from an ankle injury. He unsurprisingly worked as the clear backup to Tony Pollard, managing a pair of five-yard gains on his four carries. Spears could see his role expand as the season progresses.

Returns to action Sunday Spears (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Spears, who was sidelined for the first four weeks of the season due to a high right-ankle sprain that he suffered Aug. 9, was activated from IR on Saturday after being limited in practice all week and carried a 'questionable' tag into Sunday's contest. It remains to been how much volume he'll see in his return to Tennessee's backfield, but either way his presence figures allow the team to spell fellow RB Tony Pollard more often going forward. During the 2024 regular season, Spears recorded 84 carries for 312 yards and four TDs and 30 catches (on 35 targets) for 224 yards and a score in 12 games, while Pollard logged 260 carries and 41 catches in 16 contests.

OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Spears started the season on injured reserve due to a high right-ankle sprain that he suffered in early August. He was activated from IR on Saturday after being limited in practice all week, and the 2023 third-rounder is expected to make his 2025 debut in Arizona. Spears' official status may not be known until the Titans announce their list of inactive players about 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, but if he does suit up he'll serve as the team's top backup out of the backfield behind Tony Pollard while Julius Chestnut serves as the RB3. Spears finished the 2024 regular season with 84 carries for 312 yards and four touchdowns and 30 catches (on 35 targets) for 224 yards and a score across 12 games.

Off IR, still questionable The Titans activated Spears (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday, but he remains questionable for Sunday's game at Arizona, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Impact Spears' 2025 debut was delayed due to a high right-ankle sprain that he suffered in Tennessee's preseason opener, resulting in him spending the first four games of the campaign on injured reserve. After his practice window opened earlier this week, he proceeded to be limited on all three Week 5 injury reports, which was enough for him to have a chance to return to action Sunday. Spears' status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

OCTOBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday, still on IR Spears (ankle), who currently is on injured reserve, is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Arizona, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.

Impact Spears sustained a high right-ankle sprain during the Titans' preseason opener on Aug. 9 and eventually was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return on Aug. 26. After missing the minimum four games on IR, he got back on the practice field Wednesday as a limited participant and has mixed into drills in the team's ensuing two sessions. Coach Brian Callahan told Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site on Friday that Spears had a good week of practice, but in order for the RB to play this weekend, Tennessee will need to activate him from IR by 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday.
