Raheim Sanders vs Tyjae Spears: Who Should You Start?
If you are choosing between Raheim Sanders and Tyjae Spears for your lineup, you are not alone. Raheim Sanders finished the 2025 season at 4.7 PPG for the Cleveland Browns (4 games), and Tyjae Spears averaged 6.9 for the Tennessee Titans (13 games).
That 2.2-point weekly advantage for Tyjae Spears is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.
Tyjae Spears is the receiving back in this matchup, turning 45 targets into 264 yards, while Raheim Sanders profiles as a more traditional rusher with 92 rushing yards and 1 touchdowns. In PPR and half-PPR formats Tyjae Spears carries the higher weekly floor. In standard leagues the gap tightens considerably.
Raheim Sanders has his bye in Week 10, and Tyjae Spears rests in Week 5. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at running back for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
