The Tennessee Titans haven’t had a lot of fantasy football value across their roster in recent years, but that is likely to change in 2025. With the offseason additions they gained through free agency and the draft, there is some hope around Nashville this year. But which player is likely to have the top value as a fantasy player?
Pro Football Network used average draft position (ADP) to determine all 32 NFL teams’ top value fantasy players. For the Titans, you might be surprised at their conclusion.
Tennessee Titans: Tyjae Spears, RBFor reasons I can’t comprehend, Tyjae Spears’ ADP is way down at RB41.
It makes sense based on their roles last year. Tony Pollard saw a 73% opportunity share, ninth in the league. Spears was way down at 38%. Head coach Brian Callahan said that he wants that to be more even this season. If we believe him, that probably points to a 60/40 split this season, with some overlap on plays where both are on the field together.
We saw Spears in a lead-back role, and it was glorious. In Week 17, Spears handled 20 carries and four targets on a 65% snap share before departing in the second half with a concussion.
If Spears does end up in about a 40% role, he would have standalone RB3 value, plus the contingent upside should Pollard get hurt, making him a must-start RB2.
Behind Pollard and Spears, there’s nothing here. We saw Julius Chestnut as the lead back for roughly a half of football. If Pollard and Spears are both hurt, Chestnut still would not be startable. Spears is an excellent target for fantasy managers this season.
If you really paid attention last season, when Spears was on the field, he was a machine. He missed five games with injury, which is part of the reason he had fewer opportunities than Tony Pollard. And, if Brian Callahan is being truthful about making that split more even, fantasy owners should be prepared to draft Spears.
