22-Year-Old Running BackRB
Tennessee Titans
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Chestnut joined the Titans as an undrafted rookie following the conclusion of the 2022 NFL Draft. He made the team out of training camp - an impressive feat - but bounced between the active roster and practice squad for much of the season. Chestnut did manage to emerge across the final six weeks of the campaign as a kick returner and special teams contributor. He'll be on the periphery of the roster once again in 2023 after the team drafted Tyjae Spears in the third round April's draft. Read Past Outlooks

Finds role late in rookie season

January 11, 2023
Chestnut ended the 2022 season with nine rushing attempts for 12 yards. He added three receptions for 41 yards and 215 kick return yards.
ANALYSIS
Chestnut joined the Titans as an undrafted free agent prior to the 2022 season. He was inactive for each of Tennessee's first 11 games but closed the season with an increased role as he suited up for the final six contests. While Derrick Henry will continue to dominate carries out of the backfield in 2023, Chestnut could be a valuable special teams contributor, as he chipped in at least 40 kick return yards in three of the last five games to close 2022.
