This training camp, Rodriguez has been the designated short-yardage back, and in half-PPR, that's the role we need to be a FLEX option.

Rodriguez locked in as short-yardage back in Jaguars committee.

Rodriguez is Patrick Mahomes's pick at RB47 in Jacksonville's expected three-back committee under Coen. While Bhayshul Tuten is explosive and LeQuint Allen Jr. handles pass protection, Rodriguez's reliability and short-yardage designation make him the FLEX option in half-PPR. Patrick Mahomes cites Coen's description of Rodriguez as 'efficient' and their Kentucky connection as indicators of high-value touches. If Tuten flops or misses time, Rodriguez could produce a Javonte Williams-type season.
