Julius Chestnut

The Titans are re-signing running back Julius Chestnut to a one-year deal.

Fantasy Impact

Chestnut got injured early last season and was placed on injured reserve. He will likely remain with a primary role in special teams.

Julius Chestnut has made Tennessee's 53-man roster.

Fantasy Impact

This will be the second year in a row that Chestnut has made the roster for Tennessee after an impressive preseason. Last year that only translated to 53 total yards in the regular season, but he could take another step up in year two of his career this year. He'll likely be the RB3 behind Derrick Henry and rookie Tyjae Spears heading into the season.

Julius Chestnut tallied 46 rushing yards on seven carries and caught two of his three targets for 15 yards in a loss to the Bears.

Fantasy Impact

Chestnut had the longest run of the afternoon, breaking out for a gain of 26-yards. With Hassan Haskins and Tyjae Spears as the likely backups to Derrick Henry, fantasy managers can leave Chestnut off their rosters.

Julius Chestnut carried the ball five times for 13 rushing yards in the Titans' 35-10 Week 13 loss to the Eagles.

Fantasy Impact

Chestnut found little success in his first game action for the Titans this season, averaging just 2.6 yards per carry against a solid Philadelphia defensive front. Ahead is a more friendly Week 14 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but Chestnut is nothing more than a desperation roster stash for a Tennessee offense that lives and dies with bellcow running back Derrick Henry.

Julius Chestnut has survived cuts and made the Titans’ 53-man roster out of training camp according to the MusicCityMiracles.com’s Justin M.

Fantasy Impact

Chestnut rushed for 106 yards on 26 carries (4.08 ypc) and one touchdown while adding three receptions for an additional 22 yards across all three of Tennessee’s preseason games. The undrafted rookie out of Sacred Heart impressed the Titans’ staff enough during training camp to make the initial 53-man roster. Chestnut will likely be used mainly on special teams as he remains behind Dontrell Hilliard and Hassan Haskins for even the backup role to Derrick Henry to begin the season. Chestnut would be a decent handcuff for Henry’s fantasy managers who couldn’t snag Hilliard.
