Titans' Julius Chestnut: Limited to special teams in Week 11
Julius Chestnut returned two kickoffs for 49 yards while playing all 18 of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Texans.Chestnut went unused on offense for the second game in a row, as the Tennessee Titans had Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears handle all of the snaps at running back. So long as Pollard and Spears are healthy, Chestnut doesn't look like he'll have a chance at earning meaningful touches, but he should continue to suit up on game days due to his standing as a core special-teams player. He ended up seeing his first chances of the season as a kickoff returner after Chimere Dike was forced out of Sunday's game early due to a chest contusion.

Titans' Julius Chestnut: Looks to be Pollard's backup
Julius Chestnut is listed as the No. 2 RB on the Tennessee Titans' unofficial depth chart released Tuesday.Chestnut looked to be in position to earn the backup role to Tony Pollard after Tyjae Spears suffered an ankle injury in the Titans' first preseason contest, though he did split reps with Kalel Mullings (ankle) in the final preseason game. With Spears set to miss at least the first four games of the season, Chestnut should mix into the offense early in the campaign.

Titans' Julius Chestnut: Splits reps with Mullings
Julius Chestnut rushed the ball five times for 28 yards and a touchdown in Friday's 23-13 preseason win over the Vikings.Chestnut drew the first carry of the game but rotated out for the first half of Tennessee's second drive, giving way to Kalel Mullings (ankle). Notably, Chestnut did get the nod at the goal line to cap a Tennessee Titans' scoring drive with Cameron Ward under center. There are several questions about the running back depth chart heading into Week 1 of the regular season, as both Tyjae Spears (ankle) and Mullings are currently beat up, meaning Chestnut could have a clear path to the backup role to Tony Pollard.

Titans' Julius Chestnut: Starts with Pollard resting
Julius Chestnut started Friday's preseason win over Atlanta, rushing four times for 16 yards while catching his only target for seven receiving yards.Chestnut got the nod with the first-team offense with Tony Pollard (rest) and Tyjae Spears (ankle) missing Friday's exhibition. The 24-year-old Chestnut was slated to begin the season as the Tennessee Titans' No. 3 tailback, but the high-ankle sprain Spears suffered last week could push Chestnut up the depth chart. Pollard is healthy and still the clear No. 1 option in Tennessee, so Chestnut's fantasy value wouldn't see a huge boost if he were to start the regular season as the primary backup.
