Who Should I Start? Tyjae Spears or Bhayshul Tuten

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears saw a season-high 13 carries during last week's win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Outside of that, Spears is kept to under five carries most weeks. The 24-year-old has been able to salvage some fantasy value with his work in the receiving game. Spears has finished with five receptions or more in three of his last six games. He'll head into a tough matchup against the New Orleans Saints in Week 17. A defense that has held receiving backs in check this season. There's some PPR value here, but Spears is best on the bench in most standard leagues.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten (finger) has been downgraded from questionable to out for his team's Week 17 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Tuten was a limited practice participant all week, but he will end up missing his second straight game due to a finger injury. Before getting hurt, the 22-year-old had recorded 284 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 78 carries across 14 games while playing the RB2 role in Jacksonville behind veteran back Travis Etienne Jr. With Tuten sidelined in Week 16, Etienne Jr. logged 20 touches and played 70% of the Jaguars' offensive snaps against the Denver Broncos. Rookie back LeQuint Allen Jr. recorded four touches against the Broncos and appears likely to handle RB2 duties for the second straight week against Indianapolis.
