Julius Chestnut Not A Fantasy Option For Week 13

Saturday, November 30, 3:52 PM

Tennessee Titans running back Julius Chestnut has been sparingly involved throughout the 2024-25 campaign. With Tyjae Spears (concussion) sidelined for the Week 12 win over the Houston Texans, Chestnut had a chance to get more involved. However, that didn't happen, with the 24-year-old amassing only one carry for three yards and adding one catch for two yards. Spears is still listed as questionable for the Week 13 encounter with the Washington Commanders, although he's moving in the right direction. But even if Spears doesn't suit up, Chestnut shouldn't be anywhere near a starting fantasy lineup.

Emari Demercado Lands On IR

Saturday, December 14, 4:43 PM

Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado (back) has been placed on the injured reserve. Demercado has 24 rushes for 223 yards and a rushing touchdown this season and has added 16 catches for 104 receiving yards. Demercado's absence will likely open the door for more involvement for backup running back Trey Benson behind starter James Conner. Benson has some sneaky speculative pickup value with Demercado out and Conner himself being pretty injury-prone.
