Pass-Catching Role Offers Late-Round PPR Appeal in Titans Backfield

Tyjae Spears enters the season operating as the secondary option behind starter Tony Pollard in Tennessee's backfield. While Pollard commands early-down duties, Spears remains a proven pass-catcher after recording 49 receptions on 55 targets in 14 games last year.

Draft market sentiment has cooled noticeably over the past month, with his ADP tumbling from the mid-140s into the late-180 range. At this reduced cost, our models see a solid late-round value in full-PPR leagues rather than an asset to avoid.

We project Spears for 100 carries, 425 rushing yards, and 35 receptions on 58 targets for 140 fantasy points. While sharing touches with Pollard limits his weekly floor, he remains a high-upside stash with standalone third-down utility.

Outlook Makai Lemon

Promising Rookie Slot Receiver Offers Late-Round Value After Training Camp Slide

Makai Lemon enters his rookie campaign slotted as Philadelphia's primary option inside, sharing the field with perimeter threats DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks. Although a recurring hamstring injury interrupted his training camp development and led to a rocky preseason debut, head coach Nick Sirianni expressed confidence in his progress heading into Week 1.

Fantasy managers have grown cautious, causing Lemon's draft cost to plummet from the mid-80s in July down to an ADP around 152 in full-PPR drafts. This market dip turns him into an enticing late-round value, as his roster ownership climbed to 89% while managers willingly stash his upside.

Our projections forecast a productive inaugural season with 64 receptions for 820 yards and five touchdowns on 91 targets. While starting in just 8% of leagues out of the gate, Lemon brings legitimate flex-to-WR3 upside once he establishes his rhythm.
