Tyjae Spears Officially Active for Week 4

Sunday, October 4, 7:56 AM

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Baltimore Ravens. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after logging a full practice on Friday. The 25-year-old has been off the fantasy radar almost entirely this year due to the state of the Titans' offense and his role behind Tony Pollard. Through three games, Spears ranks as the overall RB49 in PPR leagues with 58 rushing yards and 41 receiving yards. Even his receiving contributions seem to have been scaled back, as he has been limited to a modest (by his standards) four catches on six targets this season. He should still be rostered in 12+ team leagues, but there's no reason to start him in fantasy lineups at this point.

Cam Skattebo News

Cam Skattebo Practices Without Non-Contact Jersey Thursday

Thursday, October 8, 11:15 AM

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (shoulder) was no longer wearing a red non-contact jersey at Thursday's practice, according to Art Stapleton. Skattebo wore the jersey Wednesday and was officially listed as limited, so the change is encouraging ahead of Sunday's matchup with Washington. It remains to be seen how much work he actually handled Thursday. The Giants have leaned heavily on Skattebo through four games, giving him at least 18 carries in three contests. He hasn't done much with that volume, averaging 3.5 yards per carry on 68 attempts, but has remained the clear lead back. Skattebo also has eight receptions for 67 yards this season. His workload has been a big part of his fantasy appeal despite the modest rushing numbers, making his shoulder worth monitoring. Thursday's official practice report should give a better indication of where things stand.
