Who Should I Start? Julius Chestnut or Emanuel Wilson

Saturday, September 20, 9:40 AM

Tennessee Titans running back Julius Chestnut is not expected to have a significant role in their Week 3 match against the Colts. Through the first two games of the season, Chestnut has been pushed up to the depth chart with Tyjae Spears (ankle) on the IR. However, starter Tony Pollard has taken a vast majority of the snaps, which has left Chestnut to be the clear No. 2. Through two games, Pollard has logged 89% of the team's snaps while Chestnut has seen the other 11%. During this stretch, Chestnut has taken just two rushing attempts, both of which came in Week 1. In Week 2, he saw just seven offensive snaps but did run five routes, a slight increase from the two he ran the week prior. With Pollard slated to take on a significant workload once again and rookie Kalel Mullings (ankle) in the mix to make his professional debut, Chestnut should not be trusted in any redraft or DFS competitions this weekend.

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson was expected to have an elevated role as the RB2 behind starter Josh Jacobs in the Week 1 divisional clash against the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field, but he ended up with just one carry for a four-yard gain in the 27-13 victory. He was not targeted in the passing game. Meanwhile, fellow backup Chris Brooks also had one carry for one yard and caught his only target for a two-yard pickup. Jacobs dominated backfield touches for the Pack, handing 19 rushing attempts for 66 yards and a touchdown and also catching his only target for four yards. Wilson and Brooks could be more involved going forward with MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) out to begin the year, but this certainly wasn't a good sign for their involvement behind a healthy Jacobs in 2025.
