Tennessee Titans running back
Julius Chestnut could see more snaps in the regular season finale versus the Houston Texans. Lead running
Tony Pollard (ankle) is listed as questionable, and fellow back
Tyjae Spears (concussion) is out for the game. Pollard was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday and then did not participate on Friday, so fantasy managers will have to monitor his status before deciding on the Titans backfield. According to ESPN's Turron Davenport, Chestnut will be part of a committee with
Joshua Kelley and
Jabari Small this weekend if Pollard can't go. He was the leading option as a replacement for Spears in Week 17 after a mid-game injury, logging 17 yards on three attempts. Even if he does get a bulk of the carries, there's not enough substance yet to warrant a fantasy start for Chestnut against Houston.

Tennessee Titans running back
Julius Chestnut ran for 17 yards on three carries after replacing an injured
Tyjae Spears (concussion) in the third quarter during Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Chestnut is third in line at his position after lead back
Tony Pollard (ankle, illness) also missed the Week 17 matchup against Jacksonville. Chestnut hasn't seen much action so far this season–totaling just 17 carries throughout the 2024 campaign before this week–but could see a massive uptick if Pollard is unable to suit up against Houston for the final game of the year. Spears has already been ruled out against the Texans. Fantasy managers will have to monitor the depth chart as the week goes on, but for now Chestnut seems to be the top healthy option for Tennessee going into Week 18.

Tennessee Titans running back
Julius Chestnut has been sparingly involved throughout the 2024-25 campaign. With
Tyjae Spears (concussion) sidelined for the Week 12 win over the Houston Texans, Chestnut had a chance to get more involved. However, that didn't happen, with the 24-year-old amassing only one carry for three yards and adding one catch for two yards. Spears is still listed as questionable for the Week 13 encounter with the Washington Commanders, although he's moving in the right direction. But even if Spears doesn't suit up, Chestnut shouldn't be anywhere near a starting fantasy lineup.
