From the article

While Tuten was much more productive and received 16 touches to Rodriguez's six, the two split snaps (16-16) in the first half, though the game wasn't ever competitive... Rodriguez is a TD-dependant flex who feels pretty risky given the upcoming slate of games.

Negative signalRole

Rodriguez Jr. saw limited touches; TD-dependent flex facing brutal schedule and limited passing work.

Rodriguez Jr. received only 6 carries, 0 receptions, 23 total yards, and 2.3 fantasy points in Week 1 despite being brought in to potentially split work with Bhayshul Tuten. While he split snaps 16-16 with Tuten in the first half, the blowout game script limited his opportunities. The source characterizes him as a TD-dependent flex who feels pretty risky given Jacksonville's brutal upcoming schedule and the deep receiver room that may limit passing work availability.
