Chestnut’s 102 rushing yards in 2024 keep him buried on fantasy depth charts. His return yards only matter in niche formats—standard leagues won’t notice his backup gig.

The Seahawks are bringing in former Titans RB/KR Julius Chestnut for a free-agent visit.

Fantasy Impact

Chestnut totaled 31 carries across the past few seasons with the Titans. His primary role is on special teams as a kick returner which would be his primary role if he lands in Seattle.

Julius Chestnut (foot) was added to the injury report as a limited participant on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Chestnut was added to the injury report on Thursday due to a foot injury. He was a limited participant at practice, and it's unclear if this will have an impact on his availability for Week 10. If he's healthy and active, he could be in line for more work than usual with Tony Pollard (foot) in danger of missing Sunday's game.

Julius Chestnut rushed the ball five times for 22 yards in Sunday's 20-17 OT win over the New England Patriots.

Fantasy Impact

It looked like Chestnut might see more work than usual with Tyjae Spears (hamstring) out of the lineup again for the Titans, but that wasn't really the case. He saw just five touches over the course of the game, which is nothing in comparison to Tony Pollard's 31. Chestnut remains off of the fantasy radar for the time being.
