Julius Chestnut Breaks Off 36-Yard Gain Saturday

Saturday, August 10, 9:56 PM

Tennessee Titans running back Julius Chestnut rushed five times for nine yards during Saturday's preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers. However, the bulk of his production came in the passing game where he hauled in two of three targets for a total of 37 yards through the air. His best play was a 36-yard pick-up on a short pass from Mason Rudolph in the second quarter. Chestnut has just 12 touches in nine games over the last two years, potentially putting him on the roster bubble ahead of what would be his age-23 season. Regardless of whether he makes the team, Chestnut should be avoided in all fantasy leagues.

Carlos Washington Jr. Finishes Preseason With Inefficient Performance Friday

Saturday, August 24, 12:25 AM

Atlanta Falcons running back Carlos Washington Jr. finished his preseason with an inefficient seven rushing yards on four attempts while pitching in one reception for seven yards in Friday night's 31-0 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Washington finished the preseason the way he began it, and it can't bode well for his spot on the depth chart with the beginning of the season right around the corner. Although he did find the endzone one time, Washington finished the preseason with an abysmal 2.4 YPC on 29 attempts. Jase McClellan outperformed him in every way during camp, and it wouldn't be surprising to see McClellan jump Washington as the RB3 on the depth chart to begin the season.
