Rodriguez could be an early down and short yardage option for the Jags this year, as he won't be contributing much in the passing game. Last season, he had only four targets and 30 receiving yards with Washington.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Rodriguez's limited passing-game role and unclear backfield usage make him a risky Week 1 sit.

Rodriguez reunited with Liam Coen in Jacksonville after they spent time together during Coen's one-year tenure as Kentucky's offensive coordinator in 2021, when Rodriguez ran for 1,379 yards with 6.1 yards per carry and 12 total touchdowns. He will look to build upon his brief run as Washington's starter in Weeks 10-18 last year, when he averaged 12.7 touches and 57.7 total yards as the RB31 in fantasy points per game. Rodriguez could be an early down and short yardage option for the Jags but won't contribute much in the passing game (four targets, 30 receiving yards last season). He was solid as a rusher, ranking 12th in missed tackle rate and second in yards after contact per attempt, but limited passing-game usage and unclear role make him difficult to consider as a reliable fantasy option in Week 1.
