Who Should I Start? DeVonta Smith or Tyjae Spears

Thursday, January 30, 4:27 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was seen sitting on a heated bench during practice on Thursday and will be a DNP for the second straight day this week. Smith appears to have picked up a hamstring issue after the win over the division-rival Washington Commanders last Sunday in the NFC Championship game, but the Eagles are most likely just resting their No. 2 wideout with the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs not coming until Sunday, Feb. 9. It's possible that he doesn't get back onto the field until late next week, but nobody should be panicking that he won't be available for the big game next weekend. The 26-year-old hasn't scored in three playoff games but does have 12 receptions for 121 yards on his 12 targets in wins over the Green Bay Packers, Los Angeles Rams and Commanders.

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (concussion) has been ruled out for the Week 18 matchup against the Houston Texans. Spears will sit out the regular season finale after suffering a concussion during last week's game. Before that, Spears rushed for 95 yards on 20 carries, which was his best running performance of the season. Lead back Tony Pollard (ankle) is considered a game-time decision, so the Titans could be in a bad spot if he's unable to play. Julius Chestnut and Joshua Kelley could end up having bigger roles for Sunday's game. However, neither back is considered a viable streaming option for Week 18.
