Who Should I Start? Tyjae Spears or Jaydon Blue

Sunday, August 10, 1:05 PM

Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan said that running back Tyjae Spears (ankle) will miss a couple of weeks at least after he suffered a high-ankle sprain in Saturday's preseason opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and had to be carted off the field. This means that Spears should be considered questionable to play in the Week 1 regular-season opener on Sept. 7 against the Denver Broncos. The 24-year-old was set to take on a bigger role in the Titans' backfield to take some of the burden off of Tony Pollard, but that might have to wait for now. With Spears out of action for at least a couple of weeks, it will create more change-of-pace opportunities for both Julius Chestnut and rookie Kalel Mullings behind Pollard. With the injury, Spears is now ranked as the RB46 in fantasy at RotoBaller.

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Jaydon Blue (heel) avoided serious injury after an MRI revealed a bone bruise, ruling out an ankle sprain. Blue has impressed in training camp and could push for touches behind Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders, both of whom have averaged under four yards per carry in each of the past two seasons. His burst and versatility have drawn praise from the coaching staff, and he may be more than just a depth piece. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should stash Blue now, as he profiles as a potential breakout candidate in the Dallas offense.
