Titans RB Tyjae Spears tallied a team-high 87 receiving yards and a TD on 6 receptions in Sunday's loss to the Bengals. He added 5 rushing yards on 4 carries.

Spears actually played more snaps than Tony Pollard in Week 15, thanks to his receiving usage.

He ran 27 pass routes vs. just 7 for Pollard, according to Pro Football Focus.

That marked the second straight game in which Spears ran more routes than Pollard -- and an increase for him vs. his Week 14 receiving role.

Tennessee visits the Colts and Jaguars to close out the fantasy season. Neither of those offenses presents nearly as much strength as Cincinnati's, which means a lower chance for Spears to leverage his receiving lead.

He'll be tough to use outside of deep PPR leagues.
