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
RANKS
Signed a contract with the Titans in March of 2025.
Looks to be Pollard's backup
Chestnut is listed second on the Titans' unofficial depth chart released Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Chestnut looked to be in position to earn the backup role to Tony Pollard after Tyjae Spears suffered an ankle injury in the Titans' first preseason contest, though he did split reps with Kalel Mullings (ankle) in the final preseason game. With Spears set to miss at least the first four games of the season, Chestnut should mix into the offense early in the campaign.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Top healthy option behind Pollard
Chestnut is poised to begin the regular season as Tony Pollard's top backup, as the Titans officially placed Tyjae Spears on the injured reserve/designated for return list Tuesday due to an ankle injury.
ANALYSIS
Spears will miss at least four games, leaving Chestnut and rookie sixth-round pick Kalel Mullings as the alternatives to Pollard on the roster. Mullings has an ankle injury of his own, but even if he recovers before Tennessee's Week 1 matchup against the Broncos, his role is likely to be limited given the rookie's missed practice time due to the injury. Chestnut rushed 22 times for 102 yards with the Titans in 2024, averaging a solid 4.6 yards per carry in limited action.
