Titans Re-Sign Running Back Julius Chestnut to One-Year Deal

Tuesday, March 17, 12:38 PM

The Tennessee Titans re-signed running back Julius Chestnut to an undisclosed one-year deal on Tuesday, according to Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com. Chestnut will return for his fifth year in Nashville after he went undrafted out of Sacred Heart. In his four years in the NFL with the Titans, the 25-year-old has operated as a backup, carrying the ball only 42 times for 154 yards (3.7 yards per carry) and no rushing touchdowns in 43 games (zero starts). He's added five catches on eight targets for 52 yards as a pass-catcher. With the Titans' backfield largely unchained going into next season, Chestnut will most likely operate primarily in a special-teams role, leaving him mostly unattractive in all fantasy football formats. He was active in all 17 games in 2025, but he saw just 11 rushing attempts for 40 yards. He's currently the RB4 on Tennessee's depth chart behind Tony Pollard, Tyjae Spears, and Kalel Mullings.

Bhayshul Tuten to Have Much Bigger Role in 2026?

Tuesday, April 14, 9:43 AM

Sports Illustrated's John Shipley believes that Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten is "going to see a major hike" with his role and opportunity in 2026 after Travis Etienne Jr. departed in free agency. The Jags added Chris Rodriguez Jr. to their backfield this offseason, and they also have LeQuint Allen Jr. in the RB room, but Shipley believes that Tuten will be "seen as a key piece." The 23-year-old will be viewed as a popular Year 2 breakout candidate at running back this year after the fourth-rounder out of Virginia Tech had 307 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 83 rushing attempts. He also added 10 catches on 14 targets for 79 yards and another two scores through the air in 15 regular-season games. Tuten is an effective rusher of the football who can create plays on his own due to his athleticism, and he also has home run-type speed at the position. He has clear RB2 upside going into his second season in Duvall.
