Tyjae Spears News
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.

Sione Vaki News
Friday, October 2, 5:18 PM
Detroit Lions running back Sione Vaki has seen little involvement in his team's offense so far in 2026, recording 75 scrimmage yards on 12 touches across three games. However, the 25-year-old had his usage scaled up in Detroit's Week 3 win over the New York Jets, recording six carries for 26 yards and an 11-yard reception while playing a season-high 31% of his team's offensive snaps. As long as superstar Lions back Jahmyr Gibbs remains healthy, Vaki's production upside is limited. Still, Gibbs currently leads the NFL in touches, which may not be sustainable if Detroit hopes to keep him healthy throughout an 18-week season. If he sees another small bump in workload, Vaki could have some chances to score fantasy points in his Week 4 matchup against the Panthers. Carolina has had trouble against the run early on, allowing an NFL-worst 5.7 yards per carry and six total rushing touchdowns through three games. Vaki should not yet be trusted as a starter, but he could be worth stashing in deeper league formats.
