Julius Chestnut Fantasy

Tennessee Titans running back Julius Chestnut (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 3 against the Cleveland Browns. He had not logged a touch before exiting. Derrick Henry and Tyjae Spears will continue to operate as the top two running backs in Tennessee's backfield, per usual.

Tennessee Titans running back Julius Chestnut took nine carries for 30 yards and two catches for 42 yards and a touchdown in Friday's 23-7 preseason win over the Patriots. Tyjae Spears repped ahead of the other backups as he has all preseason, with Chestnut taking over after that and making some big plays to ignite the Titans' offense. Running back Jacques Patrick also did well with 17 touches for 94 yards, but Chestnut has scored three TDs this preseason and may have earned the No. 3 RB role heading into a Week 1 road game against New Orleans. He could hold some fantasy value this year if he can hold off Patrick for the 3rd RB role.

Tennessee Titans running back Julius Chestnut has been impressive in the team's two preseason games thus far, handling 20 carries for 144 yards (7.2 YPC) and one rushing touchdown. As a receiver, he's hauled in three passes for 16 yards and a score. He's also impressed head coach Mike Vrabel on special teams, which is key for reserve running backs to make the active roster. "He's a worker, probably one of the best finishers on our football team," Vrabel said. "You guys watch practice. You see No. 36 hauling down the field when he doesn't have the ball, that's how he plays without the football." Chestnut could be staking a claim for the RB3 job behind Derrick Henry and Tyjae Spears, meaning Hassan Haskins, Jonathan Ward, and Jacques Patrick could be at risk of being released.
