Titans RB Tyjae Spears (hamstring) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. That puts him on track to play vs. the Chargers on Sunday for the first time since Week 6. Spears averaged just 6.8 carries and 3.0 targets per game over the first four weeks of the season, so he'd be a desperation Week 10 fantasy start. But Spears' return is at least a slight ding to RB Tony Pollard's outlook.
Titans RB Tyjae Spears (hamstring) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. He was limited last Wednesday before sitting out Thursday and Friday and then missing the Patriots game.

Spears isn't a viable Week 10 fantasy option, but his return would put a dent in RB Tony Pollard's fantasy value.

ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that Titans RB Tony Pollard (foot) is expected to play vs. the Patriots today. Schefter's colleague, Jeremy Fowler, said on Saturday that RB Julius Chestnut is expected to get more run today with Pollard battling this foot issue.

Chestnut would be a total desperation play.
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler writes that the Titans are "hopeful" RB Tony Pollard (foot) can play vs. the Patriots on Sunday. Fowler adds that RB Julius Chestnut "will get an extended look" even if Pollard plays. It makes sense that the Titans would want to lighten Pollard's load considering he didn't practice all week with this foot injury. We'd still expect him to lead this backfield if he ends up active tomorrow, but consider him more of a low-end RB2. Chestnut won't be a viable fantasy play unless Pollard is inactive.
