Tyjae Spears Week 7 Outlook - Patriots at Titans

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 16th 2025, 1:35pm EDT

Last week, Tyjae Spears took over as Tennessee's passing-down back with a 52.3% route share and 10.5% target share (four targets). He played 59.3% of the snaps with five of the 15 running back carries. Spears finished with nine touches and 50 total yards. Spears has been effective in limited action with a 22% missed tackle rate and 2.78 yards after contact per attempt. The rushing matchup for Spears is brutal, but that's not really where he'll make his money this week if you toss him in as a flex in PPR formats. The Patriots have given up the fourth-fewest rushing yards per game, the sixth-lowest explosive run rate, and the eighth-lowest yards after contact per attempt. To receiving backs, they have allowed the tenth-most receiving yards and yards per reception. Spears is a deeper flex option in PPR leagues.
