Who Should I Start? Tyjae Spears or Jaydon Blue

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears made his return in Week 5 from a high ankle that kept him out for the first four games of the season. Spears saw limited usage in his first game back, playing 17 total snaps and recording four carries for 14 yards against the Arizona Cardinals. However, Titans head coach Brian Callahan said Spears' role will increase in future weeks, per Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com. The 24-year-old recorded 536 yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns on 114 total touches across 12 games last season. Spears and Titans back Tony Pollard will split backfield work to some degree once Spears is fully healthy and re-integrated into the offense. For now, Spears should be rostered by fantasy managers, but likely cannot be trusted as a starter in Week 6 against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Dallas Cowboys running back Jaydon Blue rushed four times for seven yards in Sunday's 37-22 victory over the New York Jets. He added 32 yards on a lone kick return. The rookie saw his first action of the season in Week 5 with backfield mate Miles Sanders (knee, ankle) inactive while dealing with injuries. Blue didn't do much with his work, while teammate Javonte Williams ran wild (16/135/1) over a vulnerable Jets' defense. Sanders did not log even a limited practice session last week, but was initially deemed questionable for Sunday's contest, leaving his status for Week 6 unclear. If he can't suit up again, Blue will operate as the change-of-pace option for Williams for the second consecutive week. The former Texas Longhorn is nothing more than a temporary handcuff, but he holds more value -- and is worth holding onto -- in dynasty.
