Who Should I Start? Aaron Jones or Tyjae Spears

Friday, December 20, 5:09 PM

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones has another exploitable outing on tap in Week 16 in a road tilt with the Seattle Seahawks. The veteran is in the midst of a nice stretch, with a touchdown in four straight games and three appearances of at least 16 fantasy points. He's commanded fewer targets recently than earlier in the season (likely due to the emergence of Jordan Addison). However, he has still registered at least two receptions in all but two contests. Despite allowing just nine rushing scores, Seattle has favored fantasy RBs in 2024 -; letting up the seventh-most rushing yards (109.43) and tenth-most fantasy points per game (24.8) to running backs. Jones clocks in as RotoBaller's PPR RB16 in this week's ranks.

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears rushed six times for 21 yards while adding one catch for two yards in the 10-6 loss to Jacksonville on Sunday. It was the first week in a while. Spears did not appear on the injury report, but his full health did not lead to more opportunities. Jacksonville surprisingly held the Titans in check all afternoon, but Tony Pollard was still able to put up 124 yards on 23 touches while Spears operated as the clear-cut backup once again. It's been mostly the same story all season for Spears, who has taken a back seat to Pollard even when he's been healthy enough to get on the field. The second-year back out of Tulane should be well off the fantasy radar next week vs. Cincinnati.
