Production dips in 2025
Chestnut rushed 11 times for 40 yards and failed to catch either of his two targets across 17 regular-season games in 2025. Additionally, he tallied 81 kick-return yards.
ANALYSIS
Chestnut saw declines across several statistical categories compared to his 2024 campaign, logging fewer carries (22 to 11) and posting fewer rushing (102 to 40) and receiving (11 to zero) yards while playing 40 fewer offensive snaps. He also returned 10 fewer kicks than he did in 2024 but was more efficient this season, averaging 27.0 yards per return. Set to enter unrestricted free agency this offseason, Chestnut could draw interest from teams in need of running-back depth to compete for a backup role ahead of the 2026 season.

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.
