Jawhar Jordan vs Tyjae Spears: Who Should You Start?
This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Jawhar Jordan finished the 2025 season at 6.6 PPG over 4 games with the Houston Texans, while Tyjae Spears clocked in at 6.9 across 13 appearances for the Tennessee Titans. A 0.3-point gap means any given week could go either way.
With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.
Tyjae Spears is the receiving back in this matchup, turning 45 targets into 264 yards, while Jawhar Jordan profiles as a more traditional rusher with 193 rushing yards and undefined touchdowns. In PPR and half-PPR formats Tyjae Spears carries the higher weekly floor. In standard leagues the gap tightens considerably.
One scheduling note: Jawhar Jordan is off Week 14 and Tyjae Spears Week 5. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in running back for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
