Who Should I Start? Julius Chestnut or Keilan Robinson

Wednesday, March 19, 3:13 PM

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.

The Jacksonville Jaguars released running back Keilan Robinson on Wednesday, according to NFL insider Jeremy Fowler. Robinson was a fifth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft out of Texas and played in six games during his rookie season. He did not log a touch on offense, but he returned two kickoffs for 34 total yards. With Tank Bigsby, Travis Etienne Jr., and rookies Bhayshul Tuten and LeQuint Allen on the roster, he became expendable to the new front offense. Robinson logged just 156 total touches from scrimmage in college and hasn't proven anything yet in his short NFL career. He's likely a safe drop candidate in dynasty formats, and it would be a surprise if he's on the fantasy football radar in 2025 if he's picked up by a new team.
