Tuten's outlook changed when Jacksonville named Rodriguez as a co-starter following the preseason. Last year, he was arguably the Washington Commanders' best running back, averaging 12.8 PPR fantasy points per game in the four contests with 12 or more rushing attempts... Not only will the former Kentucky star have a meaningful role alongside Tuten, but Rodriguez could see an increase in work on Sunday against the Browns.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Rodriguez earns co-starter role; strong prior production and favorable game script support flex upside.

Rodriguez was named co-starter with Bhayshul Tuten following the preseason after Jacksonville moved on from Travis Etienne Jr. Last year with Washington, he averaged 12.8 PPR fantasy points per game in four contests with 12 or more rushing attempts and scored 13.9 or more fantasy points in both of his final two games despite facing a talented Philadelphia Eagles run defense. The source notes Rodriguez will have a meaningful role alongside Tuten and could see an increase in work on Sunday against the Browns. Jacksonville is an 8.5-point favorite (second-highest spread of Week 1), and if the game gets out of hand early, Rodriguez could benefit from garbage-time touches. Cleveland gave up 12 rushing touchdowns to running backs in 2025 despite having Myles Garrett.
