Who Should I Start? Breece Hall or Julius Chestnut

New York Jets running back Breece Hall is used to being the team's featured back, but new head coach Aaron Glenn hinted that both Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis could be more involved in 2025 as part of more of a committee approach to the backfield. "I think, mentally, he's in a good place, but I would say that we have three running backs on this team that we're going to utilize as much as possible," Glenn said. The 23-year-old former second-round pick (36th overall) in 2022 out of Iowa State was a disappointment for fantasy managers as an RB1 in his third year in the league in 2024, as Hall went for 876 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 209 carries while also catching 57 passes for 483 yards and three more TDs in 16 starts. It might be that Hall simply needs to prove he's still the go-to back to the new coaching staff, but the addition of QB Justin Fields is also bad news for Hall's status as a sure-fire RB1 heading into 2025.

The Tennessee Titans are re-signing running back Julius Chestnut to a one-year contract, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero. Chestnut signed with Tennessee after going undrafted in 2022 out of Sacred Heart University, and he has contributed on special teams and offense over the last three seasons. Overall, the 24-year-old has logged 31 rushes for 102 yards, five receptions for 52 yards, four tackles, and one fumble recovery in 23 career games. While Chestnut is unlikely to be fantasy-relevant in 2025, the run of unfortunate injury luck for backup running back Tyjae Spears keeps him on the fantasy football radar in the deepest of fantasy football leagues. That said, if the Titans select a running back in the 2025 NFL Draft at any point, Chestnut could be a cut candidate after training camp.
