Julius Chestnut Still a Non-Factor Heading Into Week 4
Julius Chestnut is not a reliable fantasy option heading into Week 4, despite his role as the direct backup to Tony Pollard. There are several reasons why fantasy managers should leave Chestnut on waivers. First of all, the Titans' offense is one of the worst in the league, so rushing opportunities aren't exactly easy to come by. Even when Tennessee does run the ball, it's difficult to carve out major yardage in this uninspiring offense. Additionally, they are facing the Houston Texans, who are seven-point favorites. This suggests that the Titans will have a negative game script on Sunday. Finally, he's stuck behind Tony Pollard, whose 90 percent snap share is the most among all running backs in the NFL. In other words, nobody hogs running back snaps as much as Pollard, so it's hard to envision Chestnut getting on the field very often. For now, he's off the fantasy radar and would only become relevant if Pollard misses time. However, the veteran could slip even further down the depth chart if Tyjae Spears (ankle) is activated soon.
