From the article

Tuten has rushed for 10-plus yards on just 6% of his regular season carries compared to 12.6% for Rodriguez... Only 1 of the speedster's 97 total touches from last season went for more than 20 yards... To project him as a productive lead rusher is to project him as a player he's not yet proven to be.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Tuten's 6% explosive-play rate and 386 rookie yards raise questions about lead-back projection.

Despite elite athleticism and ADP hype, Tuten has limited NFL production to justify lead-back expectations. In his rookie season, he recorded only 386 total yards and generated explosive plays (10+ yards) on just 6% of carries versus 12.6% for Rodriguez; only 1 of 97 total touches went for 20+ yards. The source argues projecting Tuten as an above-average rusher overnight based on athleticism alone ignores his lack of proven NFL success and suggests he may function primarily as a gadget player rather than a productive lead rusher.
