23-Year-Old Running BackRB
Tennessee Titans
2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Earns one offensive snap
RBTennessee Titans
September 16, 2024
Chestnut played one offensive snap and 17 on special teams in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Chestnut played exclusively on special teams in Week 1 and saw a similar role in Week 2. He did take the field for his first offensive snap with Tyjae Spears (ankle) sidelined, and Chestnut could enter a Week 3 matchup against Green Bay as the primary backup to Tony Pollard.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Chestnut joined the Titans as an undrafted rookie following the conclusion of the 2022 NFL Draft. He made the team out of training camp - an impressive feat - but bounced between the active roster and practice squad for much of the season. Chestnut did manage to emerge across the final six weeks of the campaign as a kick returner and special teams contributor. He'll be on the periphery of the roster once again in 2023 after the team drafted Tyjae Spears in the third round April's draft.
