PositiveProjectionOct 31, 2026
Tuten can capitalize on a potential blowout scenario against the Colts, who are falling apart. Even if volume tilts toward the pass, Tuten has touchdown upside, especially through the air. Travis Etienne Jr. benefited similarly in the back half of 2025 with Jacksonville, seeing a massive increase in rushing and receiving touchdowns from Weeks 9 through season's end. Tuten is coming off two receiving touchdowns before the bye and could follow the same path.
PositiveValueOct 29, 2026
Among 32 running backs with at least 60 rush attempts this year, Tuten is 16th in rushing yards per game (64.7), 12th in explosive run rate (12.4%), 17th in success rate (51.1%), 16th in stuff rate (44.7%) and fifth in missed tackles forced per attempt (0.23). Tuten has also chipped in 2.2 receptions per game, 21.0 receiving yards per game and scored four touchdowns (two rushing and two receiving). Tuten has a plum draw out of Jacksonville's bye; the Colts have allowed the sixth-most yards per carry (4.49) to running backs this year and dealt defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to the 49ers, removing a key cog from the middle of their defense. Tuten is projected as the RB11 at both sites with the RB1 value score at DraftKings and the RB5 value score at FanDuel. He's a great selection in all game types at both outlets.
PositiveRoleOct 19, 2026
Tuten had 12 carries for 39 yards but delivered his most productive receiving game of his career with four catches for 48 yards and two touchdowns in Jacksonville's Week 6 defeat, totaling 87 yards and two scores. He had at least 65 rushing yards in each of the first five games despite catching fewer than two passes in each. This flip-flop to receiving production is encouraging and shows the team trusts him as a pass-catcher. Chris Rodriguez Jr. had a season-high 11 carries for 55 yards, so he bears watching, but Tuten is the top back going forward with potential for more work in the passing game.
NegativeProjectionOct 17, 2026
Tuten continues to earn more of the Jaguars' backfield weekly while ranking as the RB19 in fantasy points per game. Last week, he saw season-highs in snap rate (66.2%), designed carry share (91.7%), and route share (43.2%), with his numbers climbing weekly across all three categories. Among 42 qualifying backs, Tuten ranks ninth in explosive run rate, eighth in yards after contact per attempt, and sixth in missed tackle rate. However, the source notes Tuten has experienced "horrible touchdown luck" and will "have tough sledding this week" against Houston's elite run defense (fourth-lowest explosive run rate, fourth-fewest yards before contact per attempt, 11th-fewest yards after contact per attempt). The source states "He'll need a touchdown to pay off likely."
NegativeMatchupOct 16, 2026
Established as Jaguars' featured RB with 22 rushing attempts last week, but faces difficult Week 6 matchup against Texans. Despite averaging only 0.57 PPR fantasy points per rushing attempt, Tuten has posted 72+ rushing yards and 11.1+ fantasy points in three straight contests. However, Houston's run defense is outstanding, allowing just 16.9 fantasy points per game (fourth-fewest), 72 rushing yards per game and 3.5 yards per attempt despite facing elite backs like James Cook, Chase Brown, Jonathan Taylor and Javonte Williams.

Among 42 qualifying backs, Tuten ranks 9th in explosive run rate, 8th in yards after contact per attempt, and 6th in missed tackle rate. However, he faces Houston's top-shelf run defense (4th-lowest explosive run rate, 4th-fewest yards before contact per attempt, 11th-fewest yards after contact per attempt) and will need a touchdown to pay off likely.

Tuten is a risky start in Week 6 against Houston despite recent production. The second-year pro has separated himself from Chris Rodriguez Jr. as the Jaguars' featured running back, recording a career-high 22 rushing attempts against Philadelphia last week. However, Tuten has averaged only 0.57 PPR fantasy points per rushing attempt this season and has had at least 72 rushing yards and 11.1 fantasy points in three straight contests. Those streaks likely end against Houston's outstanding run defense. The Texans have held running backs to 16.9 fantasy points per game (fourth-fewest in NFL), only 72 rushing yards per game, and 3.5 yards per rushing attempt despite facing James Cook, Chase Brown, Jonathan Taylor, and Javonte Williams over the first four weeks. While Tuten could have a top-five performance in Week 7 against the New York Giants, he is a risky start against the division rivals.
PositiveRoleOct 13, 2026
Tuten carried 22 times for 72 yards (24 for 87 true after holding-erased runs) and caught 2 of 3 targets for 24 yards (7.5% adjusted share) with a season-high 25 of the Jaguars' 30 backfield touches (up from 76.0%). He logged a season-high 68% snap share (49 snaps, up from 59% in Week 4) and had 3 red-zone carries, though for -2 yards including a failed 4th-and-1. The source rates him as a buy, noting 68% of snaps and 83% of touches constitute a lead workload.
PositiveRoleOct 13, 2026
Tuten has operated as the lead back for Jacksonville and is trending upward in snap share. He rushed for 72 yards on 22 carries and caught 2 passes for 24 yards in Week 5, notching a season-high 68% snap share. His snap share has trended upward, rising from 48%-51% in the first three weeks to 59% in Week 4 and 68% in Week 5. Backfield mate Chris Rodriguez Jr. hit a season-low 13%, while LeQuint Allen was at 18%. Tuten and Rodriguez have split the carries inside the 5-yard line three each, but if Tuten can take full control of goal-line usage, his value will soar.
PositiveProjectionOct 8, 2026
Tuten finished with a season-high 59% snap share, 68% designed carry share, and 40.7% route share last week, though he had two touchdowns negated by holding calls and finished with a disappointing 19 touches and 91 total yards. He has averaged 16.8 touches and 82.8 total yards as the RB17 in fantasy points per game. Tuten has another chance at a strong game this week against Philadelphia, which ranks 17th in rushing success rate allowed while giving up the fifth-most yards after contact per attempt and the second-highest missed tackle rate. This is a nice matchup for a back with Tuten's elusiveness.
PositiveBreakoutOct 7, 2026
Bhayshul Tuten is identified as a buy-low breakout candidate for Jacksonville's RB1 role. He saw two rushing scores called back via penalty in Week 4 against Cincinnati, including a 44-yard TD. Tuten has been super consistent, gathering at least 15 carries in three of his first four games while averaging 4.6 yards per attempt. Acquiring the RB1 for Jacksonville's offense will provide long-term value. The source suggests using Matthew Golden, Kyle Monangai, Emanuel Wilson, or Xavier Worthy to land Tuten.
PositiveUsageOct 6, 2026
Tuten carried 17 times for 73 yards (4.3 YPC) and caught 2 of 2 official targets (3 true) for 18 yards with 8.7% official/11.5% adjusted target share and 59% snap share; true line is 18 carries/115 yards once two nullified touchdown runs (44-yard and 3-yard) are counted; he had 3 official red-zone carries for +17 yards and a 3-yard touchdown run from the CIN 3 erased by holding—the strongest goal-to-go opportunity of the game; compared to Week 3 (15 carries/73 yards/1 TD, 16/79 true, 2 targets/2 catches/17 yards, 48% snaps), same role with two more true touchdown chances; source says Tuten is a clear lead back whose two called-back touchdowns are positive-regression signals and remains a buy.
PositiveValueOct 4, 2026
Tuten is a reasonable value target for running back-needy teams despite operating in a split backfield. Through the first three weeks, he had 43 carries (RB17), 4.74 yards per carry (RB14), 2.56 rushing yards after contact per attempt (RB14), and ranked RB8 in designed targets. In Week 4 against Cincinnati, he finished with 19 opportunities and 91 all-purpose yards for 10.1 points, but the stat sheet didn't reflect how close he was to a much bigger day: a 44-yard touchdown run was called back due to a holding penalty, and he left the game to rest before Chris Rodriguez scored on the next play. The Jacksonville Jaguars have been one of the most productive offenses since Week 10 of 2025, and Tuten comes with a reasonable price tag and upside if his role grows.
PositiveBreakoutOct 1, 2026
Tuten is RB16 in fantasy points per game, averaging 16 touches and 80 total yards. Among 42 qualifying running backs, he ranks tenth in explosive run rate, eighth in rushing success rate, tenth in yards after contact per attempt, and ninth in missed tackle rate. He is only 27th in snap rate and 24th in designed carry share, suggesting upside if he earns more backfield work. Tuten has six red zone carries to Chris Rodriguez's five. Cincinnati has allowed the ninth-highest explosive run rate, ninth-most yards after contact per attempt, and seventh-highest missed tackle rate. The source suggests this could be the week Tuten logs a 100-yard rushing outing.
PositiveProjectionOct 1, 2026
Tuten has emerged as Jacksonville's featured back, handling 43 of the backfield's 73 carries (58.9%), with his carry share climbing to 61.4% when removing three garbage-time carries from last week. He has effectively averaged 68 rushing yards per game at 4.74 yards per carry with two rushing touchdowns. Among 36 running backs with at least 25 carries this year, Tuten ranks 10th in explosive run rate (14.6%), 12th in stuff rate (39.5%), and eighth in success rate (58.1%). He can have success against the Bengals, who allowed Jaylen Warren 127 rushing yards at 7.47 yards per carry and three receptions for 49 yards. Tuten has averaged 1.7 receptions per game and 12.0 yards per carry with 1.24 Y/RR.
PositiveBreakoutSep 30, 2026
Ryan Linkletter's favorite buy-low: role trending upward with strong efficiency metrics (204 yards on 43 carries for 4.74 YPC, 15 forced missed tackles, 4.3 yards after contact per attempt); 83.7 PFF rushing grade ranks third among 46 qualified RBs; career-high 90 total yards and TD in Week 3; favorable schedule (Tennessee, Giants, Tennessee, Chicago Weeks 10-13); FantasyPros has him RB15 ROS; willing to move lower-ceiling RB2 or package depth player to acquire before snap share and value climb.
PositiveBreakoutSep 30, 2026
Bhayshul Tuten's role continues trending upward with efficiency metrics pointing toward a breakout: 204 yards on 43 carries (4.74 YPC), 15 forced missed tackles, and 4.3 yards after contact per attempt. His 83.7 PFF rushing grade ranks third among 46 qualified running backs. His increased involvement culminated in a career-high 90 total yards and a touchdown in Week 3. The schedule is favorable with Tennessee, the Giants, Tennessee again, and Chicago from Weeks 10-13, making this an ideal time to buy.
PositiveRoleSep 29, 2026
Rushed 15 times for 73 yards and a touchdown, adding 2 catches for 17 yards on 2 targets, and is the unquestioned bell-cow for a third straight week. His true workload (16 carries, 79 yards) keeps climbing, and his touchdown came directly off Lawrence's goal-line scramble/knee down rather than his own red-zone carry this time. His 48% snap share (30/62) topped Jacksonville's RB room by a wide margin. First-half usage was 8 carries for 48 yards with 0 TD; second-half usage was 7 carries for 25 yards and the game-sealing touchdown. The coaches are echoing that Tuten continues to build week after week. Per Next Gen Stats, Tuten's 21 missed tackles rank in the top five of all RBs.
NegativeUsageSep 26, 2026
Bhayshul Tuten has seen consistency in his workload through two games, with designed carry shares of 51.7% and 54.2% and route shares of 34.5% and 33.3%. He has averaged 15.5 touches and 75 total yards while splitting the red zone rushing role with Chris Rodriguez (each has two red zone rushing attempts). Tuten has been stellar on a per-rush basis, ranking sixth in explosive run rate, tenth in rushing success rate, and third-best in missed tackle rate among 41 qualifying backs, behind only Kenneth Walker and Saquon Barkley.
NegativeBustSep 24, 2026
Bhayshul Tuten is one to be wary of. He's averaged 14 carries with only 3 total targets, so there's no floor built in from the passing game—it's basically yards and touchdowns or nothing. The Patriots have allowed the 7th fewest fantasy points to RBs this season, and the Jags are only a 2.5-point favorite. The model projects him around 7 in half PPR, which is similar to some guys you may be able to find on the waiver wire. If you've got a comparable back in a better spot, this may be the week to play him.

Bhayshul Tuten is a consensus buy-low heading into Week 3, with Jay Henry Ocho ranking him 30th overall in rest-of-season rankings. Through two games, Tuten has turned 28 carries into 131 yards (4.7 YPC), including 65 yards and a touchdown against Denver. His workload is trending up: after playing 48.2% of the snaps in Week 1, his early-down snap rate climbed to 67.6% in Week 2, while he handled half of Jacksonville's goal-line snaps. Jacksonville's upcoming schedule features favorable RB matchups against Cincinnati, Tennessee, the Jets, and Indianapolis. Ryan Linkletter would move an established but lower-ceiling RB like Tony Pollard or Rhamondre Stevenson to bet on Tuten's role continuing to grow. Jay Henry Ocho would give up Davante Adams or David Montgomery to acquire him.
