2025 Fantasy Outlook
Chestnut, who has played 26 games for the Titans in three seasons since initially catching on with the team as an undrafted free agent, was the No. 3 RB for much of last season behind Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears, which led to career highs of 84 offensive snaps and 22 carries. The Titans drafted Kaleel Mullings in the sixth round this spring to compete for the role, potentially pushing Chestnut back to the practice squad or off the team entirely. Read Past Outlooks

Overall
Signed a contract with the Titans in March of 2025.
Starts with Pollard resting
Chestnut started Friday's preseason win over Atlanta, rushing four times for 16 yards while catching his only target for seven receiving yards.
ANALYSIS
Chestnut got the nod with the first-team offense with Tony Pollard (rest) and Tyjae Spears (ankle) missing Friday's exhibition. The 24-year-old Chestnut was slated to begin the season as the Titans' No. 3 tailback, but the high-ankle sprain Spears suffered last week could push Chestnut up the depth chart. Pollard is healthy and still the clear No. 1 option in Tennessee, so Chestnut's fantasy value wouldn't see a huge boost if he were to start the regular season as the primary backup.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Chestnut has been on the field for 35 offensive snaps combined across his first two seasons as a pro. In part, that's been caused by injury. However, it's also indicative of his place on the depth chart, though he will seemingly have the chance to compete for the third running back role with Hassan Haskins heading into 2024. Even if he were to win that job, his primary impact is most likely to come on special teams.
