Rodriguez projects for 134 touches but foot injury and lack of pass-catching limit upside vs. Tuten.
Rodriguez signed a two-year, $10 million deal with Jacksonville in the offseason, reuniting with Liam Coen from their time together at Kentucky in 2021. Fantasy Life projects Rodriguez for 134 touches compared to Tuten's 230. While Rodriguez has been efficient in his career (15th in YPC at 4.6 among 74 RBs with 150+ carries since 2023, 3rd in YAC/ATT at 3.5, 8th in avoided tackle rate at 24.7%), he offers minimal pass-catching value with just 26 receptions across college and NFL career combined. He could assume the goal-line role, but is currently dealing with a foot injury. Rodriguez recently indicated plans to be ready for Week 1, though JJ Zachariason expresses skepticism about that timeline. Most designed targets are expected to go to Tuten.
