News: 7 hours agoSpears (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at the Chargers.

Spin: Sidelined since injuring his hamstring Week 6 against the Colts, Spears put himself in a position to return to action with back-to-back full sessions to end Week 10 prep. He'll thus be available Sunday behind the Titans' No. 1 RB Tony Pollard (foot), who followed a LP-DNP-LP practice regimen this week but also doesn't carry a designation into the weekend. Prior to his three-game absence, Spears averaged 9.0 touches for 38.0 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring one rushing TD in five outings this season.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Spears enters his second NFL season, with Derrick Henry out and Tony Pollard in as his competition for touches. This third-round pick capably handled the ninth-most targets among backs, on the way to more than 800 scrimmage yards in an impressive rookie season. Spears' production as a receiving valve for Will Levis last season offers encouraging evidence he can again excel in a timeshare this season. Given the immense value of targets compared to carries and the natural expectation for Spears to take on more overall work this season, the arrow is pointing up for him as a mid-round RB2/flex option.
