The Tennessee Titans (1-4) will visit the Las Vegas Raiders (1-4) in Week 6. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Tyjae Spears.

Should You Start or Sit Tyjae Spears in Week 6?
Tyjae Spears missed September with an ankle injury and returned last week to essentially spell Tony Pollard.
He finished with a 26.2% snap share and accounted for only four of Tennessee’s 22 running back touches, but all reports suggest he made it through his season debut without any sort of flare-up.
That’s obviously good news, but for a running back averaging under 10 touches per game for his career, asking him to impact your fantasy roster is a bit of a long shot. You waited out the injury, so I understand wanting to see a few games, but if this week looks like last, moving on could well be the move as roster spots become increasingly valuable the deeper we get into the season.
