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.

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.

Julius Chestnut (foot) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. He had been listed as questionable after logging a limited practice on Friday. Chestnut saw additional opportunities over the last few weeks with
Tyjae Spears (hamstring) inactive. However, now that Spears is healthy, Chestnut will return to the No. 3 running back role in Tennessee, keeping him off the fantasy radar in all leagues.
