Tyjae Spears News
Wednesday, September 30, 9:39 AM
Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (ankle) is not practicing with the team on Wednesday, but head coach Robert Saleh is not concerned about his status for the Week 4 game this Sunday at the Baltimore Ravens, according to ESPN's Turron Davenport. Spears and backfield mate Tony Pollard continue to deal with ankle injuries, but they are not serious enough to keep either RB sidelined this weekend as the Titans look to get their first victory of 2026. The 25-year-old Spears took a clear back seat to Pollard in Sunday's Week 3 loss to the New York Giants, as he had just three carries for five yards and was not targeted at all in the passing game for the first time this season. The former third-rounder has only 13 rushing attempts for 58 yards (4.5 yards per carry) and has caught four of his six targets for 41 yards in the early going in his fourth NFL season. With Pollard seeing most of the early-down touches for the Titans, Spears' fantasy appeal continues to dwindle in Tennessee's low-volume, inefficient offense.

Kyle Monangai News
Wednesday, September 30, 4:58 PM
Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai is not on the team's Week 4 injury report and was able to practice in full on Wednesday. Monangai has nursed a knee injury in the early weeks of the season, but it has not kept him from playing in any of the first three games of 2026. The 24-year-old former seventh-round pick in 2025 from Rutgers has been impressive so far in his sophomore season while splitting the backfield with D'Andre Swift. He has 30 rushing attempts for 178 yards (5.9 yards per carry) and one rushing touchdown, while catching all four of his targets for 35 yards through the air. At the very least, the physical, big-play back should continue to be a strong RB3/flex option for fantasy managers, even with quarterback Caleb Williams (hamstring) likely to miss another game this weekend when the New York Jets visit on Sunday. Monangai has had exactly 10 rushing attempts in all three games so far this year, although he had just 31 rushing yards in Monday night's upset win over the Philadelphia Eagles.
