Bhayshul Tuten is part of a low-cost timeshare/camp battle duo with Chris Rodriguez Jr. (combined cost $22, projected 248 fantasy points) offering upside if one player gets hurt or wins the camp battle outright, plus possibility both figure into weekly scoring in contest play.PositiveValueSep 4, 2026

Tuten is part of a mid-round running back cluster with obvious risk but immense upside; the source recommends prioritizing this tier for teams with early running back leans.NegativeValueSep 1, 2026
The source identifies Bhayshul Tuten as a Rounds 5-8 running back target in a cluster the source loves dipping into; the source notes this cluster has obvious risk but also immense upside, and prefers drafting multiple running backs from this range in every draft.NegativeRoleSep 1, 2026
Tuten's value dropped 5.1 points (16.1 to 11) after early August buzz gave way to concerns about an ugly committee and Liam Coen's open frustration with him. The talent case remains intact, but the path to workload is murkier than it looked in early August. Baseline expectation is an ugly committee, though the source notes Travis Etienne Jr. faced similar concerns last offseason before becoming elite.PositiveRoleAug 24, 2026
Tuten is embracing the de facto lead role he has assumed since Travis Etienne Jr. departed to New Orleans; he and the other backs say they are ready to step up to the larger workload as the starters continue to operate in a committee with Chris Rodriguez Jr.NegativeValueAug 18, 2026
Mentioned as a comparable high-ceiling, risk/reward running back pick in the same tier as Jonathon Brooks, whose seventh-round ADP the source deems reasonable for a player with his outlook.NegativeValueAug 13, 2026
Bhayshul Tuten has fallen 7 spots in FBG OC ADP over the last week, moving from 54 to 61, now ranked RB24 at his position.NegativeValueAug 9, 2026
The market has Tuten as the lead back at RB25, but Dave Kluge isn't sold on Tuten's price. Rodriguez's college ties to Coen and likely goal-line role narrow Tuten's path to success in an offense trending in the right direction. Etienne's strong camp buried Tank Bigsby before last season, suggesting training camp will determine the Jacksonville backfield hierarchy.PositiveValueAug 8, 2026
Bhayshul Tuten has risen 4 spots in DraftKings Best-Ball ADP, moving from 50 to 46, now ranked RB20 overall. The upward movement indicates growing market interest in the running back.PositiveValueAug 7, 2026
The source prefers Tuten over Jaylen Warren, listing him among several running backs being drafted after Warren that offer better value.NegativeRoleAug 5, 2026
Bhayshul Tuten is getting positive coach-speak from Liam Coen; however, JJ Zachariason cautioned against paying up for Tuten given Coen's history in Tampa of spreading work around (Rachaad White one week, Bucky Irving the next, Sean Tucker after that), and noted Tuten reportedly had just one breakaway run all of last season despite hype around his breakaway speed.NegativeBustAug 5, 2026
Tuten of the Jacksonville Jaguars isn't making it out of Round 5, signaling entry into 'The RB Dead Zone.' While Tuten showed flashes last year—11th in avoided tackle rate (21.7%), 14th in yards after contact per attempt (3.22), and seventh in success rate (46.9%)—and plays in a very fantasy-friendly offense, Chris Rodriguez Jr. is getting healthier and making a dent on the practice field with a 4.6 yards per attempt average over four NFL seasons. The Jaguars have the makings of a full-blown committee attack in 2026, making it difficult for Tuten to return value with an RB2 price tag.PositiveBreakoutAug 4, 2026
Tuten is experiencing real positive momentum as a second-year back, contrasting with the lack of buzz surrounding other backup running backs like Anthony Henderson.PositiveBreakoutAug 4, 2026
Tuten is generating strong camp buzz with high expectations from the Jaguars coaching staff as he enters his second season. He has already climbed to RB22 in best ball ADP, signaling a corresponding rise in redraft and dynasty ADP. Liam Coen, one of the sharpest run-game design coaches in the NFL, bodes well for his fantasy upside. His value jumped from 12.5 to 16.1.PositiveValueAug 4, 2026
Bhayshul Tuten has climbed 3 spots in Underdog ADP, moving from rank 54 to 51 (RB22), showing increased interest in the Jaguars running back.PositiveValueAug 4, 2026
Ranked RB24 by the source versus RB27 in Footballguys consensus. Tuten is the top candidate to absorb the 72% of carries vacated by Travis Etienne Jr.'s departure from Jacksonville. He is a complete, athletic runner with good physical tools; his athleticism makes him functional in the red zone and goal line (7 goal-line carries in 2025, 5 TDs). Playing in an offense that has awakened and will continue ascending, volume and TD projection are high. In his second year, he should see significant increase in receiving opportunities; Chris Rodriguez Jr. is the only slight threat to prevent Tuten from exceeding 300 touches.PositiveValueAug 2, 2026
Bhayshul Tuten rose 5 spots in NFFC ADP, moving from rank 59 to 54, and is now positioned as RB21; the upward movement indicates growing draft-day demand and confidence in his value.PositiveRoleAug 2, 2026
Second-year RB Bhayshul Tuten steps up to compete for the lead role with the Jaguars after Etienne's departure, positioning him as a potential workhorse candidate.NegativeValueJul 30, 2026
Tuten is easily the most expensive in fantasy cost among Washington's backfield options, competing with Chris Rodriguez Jr. who received surprising free-agent money; both are likely limited in the receiving game with LeQuint Allen Jr. dominating passing-down work.NegativeValueJul 30, 2026
Tuten was selected after David Montgomery in the King's Classic draft, indicating lower draft priority than Montgomery in that running back tier.NegativeValueJul 30, 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."NegativeRoleJul 26, 2026

Tuten is expected to share the bulk of the carries with Chris Rodriguez Jr. in Jacksonville. Tuten is being drafted as RB25. Liam Coen's recent success with running backs (he was the playcaller in Tampa Bay for Irving's rookie season and for Etienne's top-10 finish last year) suggests somebody in this backfield will fare well.PositiveValueJul 25, 2026
Bhayshul Tuten has risen 3 spots in DraftKings best-ball ADP over the past week, moving from 56 to 53 overall (RB22 positional rank), showing increased market interest in the Jacksonville running back.PositiveRoleNo date
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.PositiveDepth ChartNo date
Tuten (ADP: RB25) has a head start in the Jacksonville RB1 battle after a great offseason showing progress in head coach Liam Coen's running game. He can prove he deserves passing game work over LeQuint Allen Jr. and short yardage/game finishing work over free agent Chris Rodriguez Jr., positioning him favorably in what is expected to be a committee approach.PositiveBreakoutNo date
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.
