Liam Coen on Bhayshul Tuten's Week 1 performance: "Tuten ran his tail off, he ran hard ... I don't think he missed many reads." Tuten’s 7 missed tackles forced on rushes tied Jahmyr Gibbs for most in Week 1, per @​PFF.

Tuten made the start and played 48% of snaps with a 36% route share and 16 of 27 RB opportunities. His snap share landed between 41% and 57% in each quarter. He got the ball on a much larger share of his snaps than Chris Rodriguez even before garbage-time carries. The source discounts four late-game carries and views Tuten as getting half of backfield touches, noting he only got six touches before halftime despite the Jags running 37 plays. The source treats this as a hot-hand backfield but says Tuten is clearly the guy who gets the first chance to get hot right now.

Jaguars used Bhayshul Tuten in close out mode in 4th quarter. I would've guessed Chris Rodriguez would pitch in there. It was C-Rod on the field for a goal line PA TD, which doesn't show up on this chart. I think JAX will pass a lot ... and to their WRs. <

Tuten's Week 1 role left a lot more question marks than exclamation points despite being many drafters' favorite mid-round breakout/sleeper running back. In a game where the Jaguars dominated from start to finish, Tuten saw 48.2% snaps, 53.6% rush attempts, 40% routes (10), 0% RZ rushes, and 0% goal-to-go snaps, while Chris Rodriguez saw 41.1% snaps, 21.4% rush attempts, 48% routes (12), 100% RZ rushes, and 100% goal-to-go snaps. The source notes this is a full RBBC and while Tuten could pull away from Rodriguez as the season goes on, this backfield is one to avoid in your starting lineup while both remain viable-to-strong bench stashes.

Tuten was expected to slide into the lead-back role after Travis Etienne Jr. departed and delivered in Week 1 with 15 carries, 8 receptions, 80 total yards, and 9.3 fantasy points. However, the game script was heavily in Jacksonville's favor as they demolished the Browns. Tuten split snaps 16-16 with Chris Rodriguez Jr. in the first half despite the blowout, suggesting a potential committee approach. The source rates him as an RB3/flex play given Jacksonville's brutal upcoming schedule (@ DEN, vs. NE, @ CIN, vs. PHI, vs. HOU) and the deep receiver room that may limit passing work.

Jaguars RB update with game out of hand: Bhayshul Tuten started. Both Tuten and Chris Rodriguez played nearly each drive. C-Rod was out there on PA goal line TD, but both had short-yardage opportunities. A sprinkle of Ameer Abdullah to complicate things. Tough split for now.

Dillon Appleman identifies the backfield workload split between Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez as the Jaguars' biggest question entering the season, noting 'those two provide very different skill sets' and making it 'hard to really envision what game plans will look like.' Travis Holmes echoes this uncertainty, asking 'Will we get any clarity on the Bhayshul Tuten/Chris Rodriguez timeshare questions?' in Week 1, expecting the run game to be 'present and active' in an expected blowout win.

Tuten was crowned RB1 in Jacksonville too quickly after Travis Etienne Jr.'s departure. As a fourth-round pick who was hit-or-miss as a rookie, he faces immediate competition from Chris Rodriguez Jr., who outperformed Tuten in deeper metrics including rush yards before/after contact per carry and explosive run rate in 2025. Training camp reports suggested a committee approach with Rodriguez favored in short yardage, goal-line, and two-minute situations; Rodriguez was listed as co-starter on the official depth chart. Tuten will not see the 17 touches per game that Etienne shouldered, likely ending up in single digits, with Rodriguez a major touchdown vulture threat. Week 1 against Cleveland is not a recommended start.
