Tyjae Spears Inactive Against Browns in Week 7

Sunday, October 25, 8:30 AM

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (knee) is inactive for Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Cleveland Browns, according to team reporter Jim Wyatt, which makes Tony Pollard a volume-driven RB3/flex option for Week 7. Spears has been Tennessee's most frequently targeted running back on the season, catching 15 passes on 17 targets compared with Pollard's eight receptions on 12 targets. Pollard has dominated the rushing workload, carrying 19 times for 76 yards against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 6 while Spears managed just one carry for one yard. Rookie Nick Singleton is also inactive, leaving Julius Chestnut and practice-squad elevation Kalel Mullings as depth behind Pollard. The veteran could absorb additional passing-game opportunities alongside his established rushing workload, although Cleveland has allowed just one rushing touchdown through six games.

Sione Vaki Remains Tough to Trust in Week 7

Saturday, October 24, 6:15 AM

Across five games so far in 2026, Detroit Lions running back Sione Vaki has recorded 103 yards from scrimmage on 19 touches. Vaki has operated as the clear RB2 in Detroit, but star Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs has absolutely dominated the team's backfield work this season. In Week 7, the Lions will host the Green Bay Packers in what could be a high-scoring, uptempo affair. While that could help Vaki get on the field a bit more, Gibbs remains healthy heading into the game and will likely be the focal point of Detroit's game plan on offense. Vaki remains a worthy stash as a handcuff in deeper fantasy leagues, but he should not be in starting consideration for managers in Week 7.
