Week 2 FLEX Rankings Outlooks

Bhayshul Tuten, Jacksonville Jaguars

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten is expected to handle increased opportunities going forward after the team traded Tank Bigsby to the Philadelphia Eagles. Tuten only rushed three times for 11 yards in Week 1, but he should earn more carries as he goes from No. 3 to No. 2 on the depth chart.

The larger role is enough to justify keeping tabs on Tuten in fantasy football, but he's not a fantasy starter quite yet. Travis Etienne Jr. asserted himself as the Jaguars' only fantasy-relevant running back on Sunday as he totaled 156 scrimmage yards. For now, Tuten, a rookie, should be left on the bench in dynasty and redraft leagues.

Tank Bigsby, Philadelphia Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles are acquiring running back Tank Bigsby from the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday in exchange for fifth- and sixth-round draft picks in 2026, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. There were rumblings this offseason that the Jaguars were considering trading one of Bigsby or Travis Etienne Jr. after they drafted Bhayshul Tuten in April, and now it's come to fruition. The Eagles will get more insurance for Saquon Barkley after Will Shipley went down with a rib injury in the season-opening win over the Cowboys last Thursday.

There is conflicting information regarding whether the trade for Bigsby has anything to do with Shipley's rib issue. The Eagles are expected to explore using Bigsby as a kickoff returner, which won't do anything for his fantasy value with the move to Philly. Tuten, meanwhile, becomes much more interesting as a bench stash. He's currently only rostered in 57% of Yahoo leagues.

George Kittle, San Francisco 49ers

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (hamstring) is likely to miss three to five weeks with the hamstring injury that he suffered in the Week 1 win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, a source tells Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. It makes Kittle a candidate to land on Injured Reserve, which would require him to miss at least four games.

The 49ers' offense is dropping like flies, with receiver Jauan Jennings suffering a shoulder injury on Sunday and quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder, toe) dealing with multiple injuries that could keep him out in Week 2 versus the New Orleans Saints. Fantasy managers should not be dropping Kittle, but it may be a while before we see him back on the field. Jake Tonges and Luke Farrell will be tasked with picking up the slack at the TE position, but they won't be realistic fantasy streamers, especially if Purdy also misses some time.
