All Footballguys insights about Bhayshul Tuten

NegativeRoleJul 26, 2026
Tuten is expected to share the bulk of carries with Chris Rodriguez in Jacksonville, but Footballguy Dave Kluge contends that Tuten's projections take a ding with Rodriguez around, especially when factoring in that expected role near the goal line. Tuten is being drafted as RB25, but his path to success got narrower with Rodriguez's arrival. Kluge notes that "This Jaguars offense is trending in the right direction, and both backs can find different paths to success. Tuten's path, however, got a bit narrower."

Tuten's ADP has solidified in the 5th round as the market leans toward an optimistic scenario where he emerges as the clear lead back in a Travis Etienne Jr.-type role, with Chris Rodriguez Jr. stepping into the RB2 job. The source raised Tuten's base trade value from 10.6 to 12.5 to reflect that he is now going off the board alongside players like Bucky Irving and Quinshon Judkins in summer best-ball drafts. Rodriguez's foot injury has dropped him significantly.

Tuten has emerged as one of the more talked-about mid-round running backs since Jacksonville didn't aggressively replace Travis Etienne Jr. after his free agency departure to New Orleans. With Chris Rodriguez Jr. sidelined by a foot injury, pundits like Ross Kelly of CBS Sports are highlighting Tuten as a true breakout candidate. Kelly notes Tuten had the fastest 40-yard-dash time of any running back in the 2025 draft class and is a home-run threat in an offense in need of playmakers; Etienne had nearly 1,400 total yards and 13 touchdowns last year, and Jacksonville ranked eighth in rushing attempts in 2025. The source cautions that Tuten's ADP at Footballguys has been steadily climbing and will continue to climb while Rodriguez is out, but if Tuten seizes the lead role for a 13-win team that likes to run the ball, his RB25 ADP will look like a bargain.
