Bhayshul Tuten start 'em, sit 'em fantasy football picks for Week 1 of 2026. Should you start or sit Bhayshul Tuten for fantasy football lineups in Week 1?
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2
ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten had a disappointing rookie season. The fourth-round pick out of Virginia Tech spent his debut campaign operating as the clear No. 2 option in the offense behind workhorse Travis Etienne Jr.
In his limited work, Tuten ran for just 307 yards (on 83 attempts) while punching in five scores. His modest 3.7 YPC did not provide him with much fantasy upside, and he only brought in 10 passes as a receiver, but did score on two of them.
However, his 2026 outlook is far brighter. With Etienne now in New Orleans, Tuten stands as the top of a potential running back committee in Duval. He is slated to share the load with Chris Rodriguez Jr., who joined the team in free agency.
During training camp, Tuten has looked quite comfortable as the lead option and has shown upside as a pass catcher with LeQuint Allen Jr. sidelined with an undisclosed injury.
While his upside may be capped due to Rodriguez, Tuten still has the potential to operate as a mid-end RB2 in the early going of the season. Facing the Browns in a game they are projected to lead, Tuten should see an ample workload in the season opener.
