Each season, the fantasy football playoffs offer plenty of surprises and league winners who seemingly come out of nowhere to carry their managers to a championship – and crush the dreams of those who oppose them.
[Week 17 Half-PPR Fantasy Rankings: QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | FLEX | D/ST | Kickers]
Could this year’s biggest FLEX surprise be Tennessee Titans RB Tyjae Spears? Despite running a tough offense, he has found his way to fantasy relevance in Weeks 15 and 16 — including back-to-back top-10 finishes in half-PPR scoring formats — with a total of 158 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns over the past two weeks .
Next on the schedule is a matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars’ pushover defense, which allows for the second-most fantasy points per game for opposing RBs this season. Last week, the Jags gave a combined 30.6 fantasy points to Ameer Abdullah and Alexander Mattison, for crying out loud. Regardless of Pollard’s health at this point, if Spears gets more than 10 touches in Week 17, we might be looking at a big game.
