PositiveMatchupOct 29, 2026
Bhayshul Tuten looks to prove he's for real in a plus matchup in Week 8, presenting an opportunity to validate his performance against a favorable defensive opponent.NegativeRoleOct 29, 2026
Tuten briefly eclipsed 60 percent of the Jaguars' snaps in Week 5 but saw that number return to 57.7 heading into the bye. The source notes this is hardly a disaster but not a harbinger of every-week RB1 status, especially since Chris Rodriguez's 29.6 snap mark against the Texans was his highest since Week 1. Set for a favorable Week 8 matchup against the Colts, Tuten could find himself alternating drives with Rodriguez.PositiveUsageOct 21, 2026
Tuten's carry share dropped to a season-low 52 percent in Week 6 but he compensated with a career-high four receptions for 48 yards and two touchdowns. His route rate also hit a new high at 57 percent, indicating an expanded receiving role that could provide PPR value despite reduced rushing attempts.PositiveProjectionOct 19, 2026
Bhayshul Tuten is named to the Week 6 Fantasy All-Pro Team, indicating elite fantasy performance in the most recent week.PositiveRoleOct 16, 2026
Tuten's role drastically expanded in Week 5 despite limited production. He saw 92 percent of the team's carries and 48 percent route rate (both season-highs), plus a new season-high three targets. This elite role warrants inclusion in 100 percent of fantasy lineups despite the tough Houston matchup.PositiveUsageOct 14, 2026
In Week 5, Tuten saw career highs in snaps and touches with a 92 percent share of backfield rush attempts. The source recommends buying low on Tuten despite middle-of-the-road production over the previous two weeks, noting he was one goal-line sequence away from a touchdown and a strong fantasy day. The source prefers buying now before a potential price increase if Tuten has a big game, though waiting until after the Jaguars' Week 7 bye is also acceptable.PositiveBreakoutOct 9, 2026
Tuten is elite in efficiency metrics: 4.02 yards after contact per carry (4th among RBs), 32 missed tackles forced per attempt (2nd), 67 rush yards over expected per carry (10th), and 1.35 yards per route run (12th). He faces the Eagles defense, which ranks 28th in rush EPA per play allowed, as a 7.5-point favorite. This is the breakout game for Tuten.NegativeRoleSep 21, 2026
Tuten out-snapped Chris Rodriguez Jr. 30-13 in Week 2 and out-touched him 15-6, accumulating 65 rushing yards and Jacksonville's only touchdown. Through two weeks, Tuten has 31 touches to Rodriguez's 12. The source, who faded Tuten in the offseason, now believes Liam Coen is clearly excited about what he sees. While the source thinks Tuten is limited enough that he's a hard sell for RB1 status, he has established himself as a set-it-stone RB2 through two weeks.NegativeUsageSep 16, 2026
Tuten posted 48% snap share, 54% carry share, 32% route rate, 5% target share, and 10 expected points in Week 1. He looked good on the ground but needs to earn more work through the air. The Titans' ground-game focus limited his passing-game involvement, and he remains in a holding pattern.PositiveRoleSep 15, 2026
Running back Bhayshul Tuten could take on a little extra receiving work with LeQuint Allen Jr. sidelined by a hip injury.PositiveMatchupSep 11, 2026
Cleveland was the ultimate run-funnel last year, elite against the pass and average against the run. Their offense was terrible, so opposing teams never felt the need to throw. Most factors should hold steady this year, though their pass-rush will suffer without Myles Garrett. The Jags are the second-biggest favorites of the week, projected to win by 8.5 points. Tuten is set up to see plenty of carries.PositiveMatchupSep 9, 2026
Like Omarion Hampton, it could be a bad week to be a Tuten fader. The Jags are mammoth home favorites versus an overmatched Browns squad. However, Tuten's touch competition is more immediate and pronounced than Hampton's. Chris Rodriguez Jr. could be called upon as a closer, and LeQuint Allen got healthy in time to theoretically steal passing-game snaps. The source is most anxious to see the Week 1 Tuten returns.NegativeDepth ChartSep 9, 2026
Listed as co-starter in Jacksonville Jaguars backfield; Kyle Dvorchak believes both running backs can be productive enough under the circumstances for fantasy purposes despite the co-starting arrangement.NegativeRoleSep 4, 2026
Tuten's role in the Seahawks backfield is generating mixed messages, though the source notes the slappies (likely referring to minor beat reporters or social media commentary) aren't read all that much. His role clarity could impact the backfield opportunity distribution for Price and Henderson.NegativeBustAug 20, 2026
The Jaguars kept Tuten out of major reps last year, have an established third-down back in LeQuint Allen, and signed Chris Rodriguez to improve sustaining power runs. While Tuten has talent, he has the most room to fall, and the Jaguars will likely deploy an RBBC that frustrates everyone. The source prefers Rodriguez at ADP and it isn't close.NegativeRoleAug 19, 2026
Tuten is an explosive player with an elite 9.24 RAS and 4.32 40-yard dash, but faces significant competition for third-down snaps from LeQuint Allen, who totaled 146 snaps on third downs last season and is still expected to serve in a similar role. Head coach Liam Coen brought in Chris Rodriguez, who fills the need for an early-down bruiser and goal-line back; Coen recently said he expects the backfield to use more of a committee approach this season. Jaguars running backs ranked 22nd in combined targets (78) and 25th in routes run (365) last season. If Tuten doesn't have a significant pass-catching role and doesn't see much work near the goal line, he'll need to rely on hyper-efficient play to pay off at his sixth-round price.NegativeValueAug 19, 2026
Tuten was selected 6.09 in the Rotoworld mock draft by Kyle Dvorchak, indicating a sixth-round valuation in early 2026 draft season.PositiveBreakoutAug 12, 2026
Kyle ranks Tuten RB20 and highlights his college dominance and emerging goal-line role. Tuten logged Dominator Ratings of 79, 81, and 94 percent in college, far exceeding Jeremiah Love's peak of 64 percent and Ashton Jeanty's 79 percent. As a rookie, Tuten already soft-launched his role as a goal-line back with more inside-the-five carries than Travis Etienne when both were active, scoring four times to Etienne's two. Tuten was also a capable pass-catcher in college, giving him multiple outs to high-value touches.NegativeBustAug 7, 2026
Tuten was a backup runner last year and brings far more risk to the table in tier 4; however, he plays on a top-eight scoring offense from 2025, which provides some upside potential.NegativeProjectionAug 7, 2026
Tuten is grouped in Tier 4 alongside Skattebo, Montgomery, Swift, Judkins, Henderson, and Price. The source frames Tier 4 as a choice between proven veterans with limited ceiling or swinging for the fences with younger players.NegativeRoleAug 6, 2026
Has top-18 upside but also has competition on all three downs; opportunity capped by backfield depth.PositiveProjectionJul 31, 2026
Ranked RB24 overall (52nd overall) in 2026 fantasy football rankings, positioned as a mid-tier running back prospect.
