The player I'm the highest on compared to the markets and consensus is Chris Rodriguez Jr. The Jaguars signed him to a two-year, $10 million contract this offseason to be a real part of the rotation. With pass protector LeQuint Allen Jr. banged up, Rodriguez is in line for even more snaps in Week 1, as Bhayshul Tuten isn't one to rely on in those situations.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Rodriguez undervalued vs. market; positioned for goal-line work with increased snaps.

The source is higher on Chris Rodriguez Jr. compared to market consensus and projects him at 38.5 total yards versus the betting market's 40.5 projection. The Jaguars signed him to a two-year, $10 million contract to be a real part of the rotation. With pass protector LeQuint Allen Jr. banged up, Rodriguez is in line for even more snaps in Week 1, as Bhayshul Tuten isn't reliable in pass protection. Rodriguez has familiarity with HC Liam Coen from their time at Kentucky, where he totaled 440 yards in a season. He profiles as the close-out and goal-line back given his size and short-yardage efficiency, offering tackle-breaking ability as a bowling ball type. Jacksonville is projected for 24.5 points (ninth) as 8.5-point home favorites, creating positive game script. The Browns don't have Myles Garrett this week. The source rates Rodriguez as a FLEX start.
