I'd like to I'd like to meet the guy still taking Chris Rodriguez,' indicating the source views him as overvalued or a poor draft target.

PositiveValueJul 31, 2026Underdog Fantasy Football Show
The source is drafting Chris Rodriguez in the 12th round, buying the dip on his offseason foot injury. Rodriguez was fourth in first downs or touchdown rate, third in success rate, and eighth in yards after contact—metrics that exceed Basial Tootin's efficiency. The source notes that offseason injuries are often overblown in online discourse and that Rodriguez's value is at its lowest point; he could close the gap with Tootin in the coming weeks as his recovery progresses. The source expects Rodriguez to be back for week one and has been doing individual drills.

PositiveInjuryJul 31, 2026ESPN NFL
Rodriguez returned to the field on Wednesday for the first time since suffering a left foot injury on the first day of offseason conditioning. Though fully cleared medically, the Jaguars are being cautious with his workload, limiting him to individual drills rather than team drills. Rodriguez said there are no lingering issues or soreness and is on a schedule to be back for Week 1. Coach Liam Coen signed him as a free agent to toughen up the run game, which was ineffective in the latter part of last season, noting that his best will not be seen until pads come on.

Chris Rodriguez suffered a foot injury with a plan to return week one. Ricky Pierall reassesses the foot injury as potentially more serious than initially thought based on the timeline, stating "if the plan is for him to be back week one, this foot injury was actually maybe a lot more serious than I initially thought." Pierall has already updated his rankings accordingly based on this injury concern. The week-one target return date creates uncertainty around Rodriguez's availability and role heading into the season.
