Should You Start or Roster Julius Chestnut?
The advanced profile spells out why Chestnut stays a roster afterthought: just 11 carries on a 3.9% snap rate across 16 games in 2025, turning into 40 yards at 3.64 a pop and a single broken-tackle-free season. His -0.361 EPA per play was actively negative, and the 4 fantasy points he produced sat him at RB116. Even his stronger 2024 sample (22 rushes, 4.64 YPC, RB99) came on a 7.1% snap share, so the trend is shrinking opportunity, not growing it.
Tennessee brought him back on a one-year deal strictly as backfield depth, and he enters 2026 ranked outside the top 180 in redraft with no projections or ADP attached. With two career receptions and 2.55 yards before contact masking just 1.09 after, there's no efficiency hook to bet on either. He's a watch-list special-teamer who only matters if injuries clear the entire depth chart ahead of him.
