PPR pts is nflverse's full-PPR total for the game; the smaller line under it is the same game in Half-PPR, then Standard (half a point, and a point, less per catch). "Score this game" opens the fantasy point calculator with that exact line loaded, to re-score it in your league's settings. A dash means nflverse has no figure for that game yet. "Did not play" means his team played but nflverse has no stat line for him, which is usually an injury or an inactive game day; it scores 0.0 and is left out of his per-game averages. The injury designation shows only for the week the latest report covers.

The July 2026 draft-day read
This is the July 2026 pre-draft read, kept as published. Every ADP and market figure on this page comes from the Fantasy Football Calculator snapshot of Jul 15, 2026 and is not updated in-season — 2026 drafts are over and ADP has stopped moving. In-season tools
Tyjae Spears averaged 6.9 half-PPR points per game in 2025 — about what a RB43 draft slot was worth, so the July 2026 price read roughly in line with the production. His target share trended up over his last three games of 2025.
Our read, framed from the cited 2025 data below — opinion, not a projection.
The numbers behind the read
| Metric | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| ADP (July 2026) | 135.4 | Fantasy Football Calculator |
| Overall ADP rank (July 2026) | 142 | Fantasy Football Calculator |
| Fantasy points / game | 6.9 | nflverse |
| Points over expected (FPOE) | -0.5 | nflverse |
| Target share | 12.3% | nflverse |
| Target share, last 3 games (2025) | 15.1% | nflverse |
| Sleeper search rank (July 2026) | 122 | Sleeper |
xFP (expected fantasy points) is what a typical player would score with the same targets, carries and field position. FPOE (points over expected) is actual points minus xFP, per game.
