Rodriguez is familiar with Liam Coen from their time together at Kentucky... coming off a season during which he averaged an impressive 3.46 yards after contact, which ranks eighth-best among 58 NFL running backs to log at least 70 carries... could also help him become the Jaguars' preferred goal-line back... could emerge as a solid RB2.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalSleeper

Rodriguez's YAC efficiency and Coen connection offer RB2 upside at RB38 ADP.

Rodriguez's ADP of 106.12 (RB38) is nearly 45 slots behind Bhayshul Tuten (RB26, ADP 61.25), but Rodriguez may have an equal shot at Jacksonville's top runner role. The 25-year-old is familiar with Jaguars coach Liam Coen from their time together at Kentucky and averaged an impressive 3.46 yards after contact last season (eighth-best among 58 NFL running backs with 70+ carries, per Pro Football Focus). His powerful running style could make him the Jaguars' preferred goal-line back, providing a floor as a quality flex play, with potential to emerge as a solid RB2 if he wins the primary role.
