Tuten has impressed this offseason and is expected to have a hefty role in the Jaguars backfield following Travis Etienne's departure to New Orleans. However, it's still unclear how big that role might be, as free-agent addition Chris Rodriguez Jr. was unable to participate in offseason workouts following a surgical procedure on his left foot. The veteran is expected to be good to go for training camp, which will give a better idea of how Liam Coen might divvy up RB reps.

JJ Zachariason addresses skepticism about Bhayshul Tuten's workload in Jacksonville, acknowledging that while the narrative has coalesced around Tuten as the lead back, coaches don't always deploy personnel the way the fantasy community expects or hopes. Zachariason notes that the Jaguars brought in C-Rod for a reason, Dobbins was their first choice, and Lawrence's rushing ability also factors into the backfield split. Zachariason emphasizes that projecting what 'will and should happen' differs from what 'actually does,' and that he will be wrong frequently this year.

Tuten is positioned as a league-winner candidate after the Jaguars released Travis Etienne Jr. and added only Chris Rodriguez Jr. to the backfield; Tuten averaged only 5.9 PPR fantasy points per game last year with 93 touches in 15 games (0.95 fantasy points per touch), but if he received Etienne's 296 touches, he would have averaged 16.6 fantasy points per contest, making him RB7 on a points-per-game basis. At ADP 57.5 (RB25), Tuten offers significant upside with a featured role.

Liam Coen calls Bhayshul Tuten an “all purpose back” and “next up” Says he’s great in the red zone Mentions how he looked good on some screens last year Needs to work on pass pro and not worrying about ball security Take: Very positive - all purpose matches what they want (not tip run/pass with which RB is in the game).

.@​_John_Shipley on Bhayshul Tuten: “Tuten's terrific practice performances have simply been a consistent part of the Jaguars' offseason practices and early days of training camp. The Jaguars' defense has actually snuffed out a ton of runs in camp, but Tuten has been an exception. After multiple runs popped from Tuten for big gains on Wednesday, the exact same thing happened on Thursday.”

Article reports Tuten taking early lead in Jaguars backfield during camp with strong practice performance; Liam Coen praised him enthusiastically. Community is split: optimists cite his 4.32 forty-time (same as Achane), solid cut ability, strong lower-body, and goal-line success last year (3.7 YPC on limited carries, 10 receptions); pessimists emphasize poor 2024 film (3.7 YPC, 2.8 yards after contact, poor vision, runs into linemen), lack of pass-catching role (Allen ran 2x routes), and rookie struggles. Tuten owners worry about Rodriguez stealing red-zone work and Allen's 23% snap share last year. ADP rising but debate over whether he's worth 4-6 rounds vs. 10-13 for Rodriguez.

How the Jaguars manage Chris Rodriguez workload off the foot surgery and whether that leads to an opening for Bhayshul Tuten is something I addressed on multiple pods Now we just need to see how limited Chris Rodriguez is and when he gets back to full practice

.@​_John_Shipley on Bhayshul Tuten: “Tuten was the most impressive offensive player of the entire day… He produced several big runs and showed the same exciting traits that made him look like an ascending player this spring.”

PositiveProjectionJul 28, 2026FantasyPros Articles
Tuten is the only back in the Jacksonville group viewed as capable of a true three-down role, sitting at RB25. The case for Tuten is backed by real situational trust shown to him as a rookie backup last year, including 23 carries inside the red zone with four converted to touchdowns (all from inside the five-yard line), plus two red-zone receiving touchdowns—an unusually large share of high-value touches for a player who wasn't the presumed lead back. Coaching comments this offseason have been directly positive about expecting a big year from him. The source recommends concentrating draft capital in Tuten alone rather than pairing him with Chris Rodriguez Jr.

With Travis Etienne gone, Bhayshul Tuten will compete with Chris Rodriguez to be the lead back for the Jaguars in 2026. The source wants to bet on Tuten this year and his talent. Last year, Tuten was robbed of the stretch run of his rookie season by a finger injury, but before the injury, he was starting to make noise. This could be the big breakout season for Tuten, who flashed immense talent on a per-touch basis in college. Among 55 qualifying backs, he ranked fifth in rushing success rate, 11th in missed tackle rate, and 17th in yards after contact per attempt.
