Spears is the pass-catching back in Tennessee, but he was inactive today. Next weekend, the Titans are 10-point underdogs against the Bengals. If the Titans fall behind and have to throw the ball, Spears (if healthy) should benefit. Spears caught nine passes when the Titans got blown out in Week 5, demonstrating his upside in negative game scripts.

The source identifies Spears as a potential running back addition for the Patriots, who may want to add another option to their rotation given that Rhamondre Stevenson is averaging just 3.7 yards per carry and TreVeyon Henderson has dealt with injuries limiting him to 4 yards per carry. Spears, 25, enjoyed his best season as a rookie in 2023 when Vrabel was coaching the Titans, and a reunion in New England could help him tap back into his dual-threat capabilities as an explosive runner and receiver. Spears is on an expiring contract, so it wouldn't cost the Patriots much to land him in a trade.

Spears remains in the rankings for one key reason: Tony Pollard is one of the hottest names on the NFL trade market. If the Titans trade Pollard before the November 10 deadline, Spears would be thrust into a starting role. He is a fine bench option for those who do not need immediate help, as he gained just one yard on one carry and seven yards on one catch in Week 6.
