Who Should I Start? Tyjae Spears or Jaylen Wright

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.

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright seems to have taken over as the team's primary backup behind De'Von Achane. He played 18 snaps last week compared to just three for rookie Ollie Gordon II, and Wright added a garbage-time touchdown while taking his nine carries for 35 yards and catching one of his two targets for 18 yards. Wright had a massive game in Week 14 against the Jets after Achane left with an injury, racking up 107 yards and a touchdown. He has that kind of potential if a similar situation were to develop, but his role is limited behind Achane when he's healthy. He is only the RB61 in RotoBaller's rankings this week, indicating that he's best left on the bench or waiver wire against the Buccaneers in Week 17.
