Dillon Appleman identifies the backfield workload split between Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez as the Jaguars' biggest question entering the season, noting 'those two provide very different skill sets' and making it 'hard to really envision what game plans will look like.' Travis Holmes echoes this uncertainty, asking 'Will we get any clarity on the Bhayshul Tuten/Chris Rodriguez timeshare questions?' in Week 1, expecting the run game to be 'present and active' in an expected blowout win.

Tuten was crowned RB1 in Jacksonville too quickly after Travis Etienne Jr.'s departure. As a fourth-round pick who was hit-or-miss as a rookie, he faces immediate competition from Chris Rodriguez Jr., who outperformed Tuten in deeper metrics including rush yards before/after contact per carry and explosive run rate in 2025. Training camp reports suggested a committee approach with Rodriguez favored in short yardage, goal-line, and two-minute situations; Rodriguez was listed as co-starter on the official depth chart. Tuten will not see the 17 touches per game that Etienne shouldered, likely ending up in single digits, with Rodriguez a major touchdown vulture threat. Week 1 against Cleveland is not a recommended start.

The Jaguars RB1 was highlighted as one of the worst picks of the middle rounds due to a fragile workload. Tuten ranked 66th in route rate and 60th in target share (min. 200 snaps), limiting his upside to rushing volume alone. The team's signing of Chris Rodriguez Jr., who plays a similar style and has ties to HC Doug Pederson, further threatens Tuten's role. While the OC indicated Tuten has tried to grow in all RB roles, the rotation's outcome will significantly alter his value by Tuesday.

Jags OC Grant Udinski on Bhayshul Tuten: “He's embraced really trying to grow in all roles of the running back ... you might see more opportunities from whether it's pass protection, going out on routes, or in the screen game, whatever it might be. He just might have more opportunity this year than last year."

If Tuten isn't used inside the 5-yard line much, then he'll need to catch more passes than Travis Etienne Jr. had last year (2.3 per game) to pay off as a low-end RB2. He has the talent to do it as long as he isn't running the wrong way (which happened too often last year). There is some 'trap back' concern here if he didn't develop his game in his first normal offseason, but Allen missing time helps on the margins for now. Tuten is projected for 9.2 by the betting markets.

The split between Tuten and Chris Rodriguez Jr. will be one of the biggest fantasy storylines, especially if pass-down specialist LeQuint Allen Jr. is out as expected. Tuten offers more explosive athleticism without the reliability of a starter, while C-Rod is a reliable runner and pass protector without the juice. The likeliest outcome is a roughly even split in snaps and touches, while coach Liam Coen evaluates what he has. If there's a role that's most solidified heading into the year, it's Rodriguez's goal-line role as the bigger, more disciplined runner.

NegativeMatchupSep 9, 2026FantasyPros Articles
Ranked RB24 for Week 1 with tough two-star matchup rating against genuinely solid run defense on paper. One the source cautiously optimistic he becomes backfield's clear lead back at some point this season but uncertain it happens Week 1 given real uncertainty about how much role teammate retains. Other the source more optimistic, framing opposing defense as real vulnerable specifically on road and further weakened by key absences, believing positive home-favorite game script should benefit both backs in backfield regardless of exact role.
