Bhayshul Tuten Continues Breakout Season with Dominant Week 8 Showing
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten dominated in his team's 42-7 Week 8 win over the Indianapolis Colts, recording 16 carries for 104 yards and a touchdown, and hauling in two catches for 55 yards and an additional score. Tuten has been very consistent in 2026, recording at least 87 yards from scrimmage in five out of six games heading into Week 8. The star production is starting to follow now as well, as he's logged two touchdowns in consecutive games. Between Tuten's ability to make explosive plays as both a rusher and a receiver and Jacksonville's potent offensive attack, the 23-year-old profiles as a must-start running back heading into the Jaguars' Week 9 showdown against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. Could Offer Deep-League Flex Value
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. is looking to build off arguably his best performance on the ground in Week 6. Rodriguez carried the ball 11 times for a season-high 55 yards during the Week 6 loss to the Houston Texans. The 27-year-old surprisingly almost evenly split the carries with lead back Bhayshul Tuten during that game. It remains to be seen if Rodriguez will once again see double-digit carries or if that was a fluke. He'll draw a favorable matchup against the Indianapolis Colts defense in Week 8. A defensive unit that ranks 22nd in the league, allowing 124.4 rushing yards per game. Rodriguez has been mostly a touchdown-dependent option throughout the season. He should be treated as a low-end flex option in deep leagues for this Week 8 contest.

Bhayshul Tuten in Line for Second Straight Big Performance in Week 8
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten is coming off his best fantasy performance of the season as he heads into a Week 8 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts. He has been a model of consistency so far, putting up 65-plus rushing yards in his first five games. He had his worst rushing output of the season in Week 6 and the fewest carries, totaling just 39 rushing yards on 12 carries, but countered that with his best receiving game of the season. Overall, Tuten finished with 87 scrimmage yards, 16 total touches, and two receiving touchdowns. Coming off a Week 7 bye and heading into a matchup with the 22nd-ranked defense against running backs in fantasy means fantasy managers have no reason to believe that consistency will falter. The Colts are also starting to trade some of their top players while sitting at 2-5 and surrendering the Tennessee Titans their first win of the season two weeks ago. In a potential Week 8 blowout, Tuten has a chance to top his Week 6 fantasy breakout performance.

Bhayshul Tuten Has Topped 85 Scrimmage Yards Four Games Running
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten has surpassed 85 scrimmage yards in four consecutive games as the team's lead back, accumulating 388 rushing yards, 126 receiving yards and four touchdowns through six appearances. Coming off Jacksonville's Week 7 bye, the second-year back remains a strong RB2 option in 12-team leagues against the Indianapolis Colts, with his growing receiving involvement adding to his fantasy appeal. He caught all four targets for 48 yards and two touchdowns against the Houston Texans in Week 6 after averaging just two targets per game through the first five weeks, an increased involvement in the passing game that is particularly encouraging for PPR managers. His playing time has also increased from approximately 49% of the offensive snaps over the first three games to at least 58% in each of the past three, though Chris Rodriguez Jr. remains involved, handling 11 carries for 55 yards against Houston while Tuten managed 39 yards on 12 attempts.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. Remains an Appealing Running Back Stash
Across six games in 2026, Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. has recorded 39 carries for 168 yards and two touchdowns. While the 26-year-old has seen a relatively consistent workload, he appears to be settling into a clear number-two role in the Jacksonville backfield behind fellow Jaguars back Bhayshul Tuten. Still, Rodriguez Jr. is a physical and effective short-yardage rusher who could continue to see opportunities at the goal line, and Jaguars head coach and play caller Liam Coen has orchestrated offenses that support fantasy production from multiple backs in the past. Even if Rodriguez Jr. is unable to establish standalone value, he carries significant upside if Tuten were to suffer an injury. All in all, Rodriguez Jr. profiles as a worthy waiver wire target for fantasy managers heading into Week 8.

Bhayshul Tuten Adds Two Receiving Touchdowns in Week 6 Loss
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten had 12 carries for 39 yards and added four catches for 48 yards and two receiving touchdowns in his team's loss to the Houston Texans in London. Despite being held to under 50 rushing yards for the first time this season, the 2025 fourth-round draft pick is building his reputation as a multi-faceted fantasy asset. Tuten hasn't broken out just yet, but fantasy managers should keep an eye on him after battling through a tough matchup against Houston. RotoBaller listed Tuten at RB19 in the positional rankings.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. Losing Value as Jaguars Handcuff
After a slow week in a win over the Philadelphia Eagles, Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. is losing value as his team's top handcuff to starter Bhayshul Tuten. Rodriguez Jr. carried the ball just twice for five yards while recording one reception for six yards against Philadelphia, which ended his streak of two straight weeks with a touchdown. The week before, Rodriguez Jr. received six carries, totaling 35 yards and a touchdown. He has averaged four yards per carry leading into Jacksonville's Week 6 tilt with the Houston Texans, who have allowed a slim average of 78.4 yards rushing per game this season, the third-best mark in the NFL.

Bhayshul Tuten a Low-End RB2 Despite Consistent Start to Season
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten has been a very reliable fantasy asset heading into Week 6 against the Houston Texans. However, his floor may be lower against the Houston Texans, who rank fifth in fantasy points allowed to running backs. The speedster has been surprisingly reliable in his first season as the full-time starter, amassing at least 65 rushing yards and 15 touches in each game. Tuten has looked explosive but hasn't quite put up big numbers to truly break out just yet. It's hard to imagine the Texans being the first matchup in which he drastically improves his numbers, but given the clear talent he has, it's entirely possible. The upside isn't obvious to many fantasy managers who haven't watched him play, but his high floor and explosiveness should make Tuten a must-start in the near future. Despite a tough matchup, fantasy managers should feel good about Tuten's floor as an RB2 in Week 6.

Bhayshul Tuten Taking on a Substantially Larger Workload
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten has ascended into an enormous role in the backfield, averaging 20 touches per game over the last three weeks. He has at least 9.8 points in PPR leagues in every game this year, and he ranks as the overall RB17 so far. While Tuten's ceiling hasn't been very impressive, he has maintained a high floor while operating as a consistent RB2 option in fantasy football. Most importantly, his ascension has led to a massive decrease in volume for Chris Rodriguez Jr. Once viewed as a candidate to split touches with Tuten, Rodriguez saw his snap share drop to 13% last week as he handled just two rushing attempts. As long as Tuten is healthy, he is going to continue to operate as the near-every-down back in Jacksonville while maintaining his fantasy relevance. He can be started in most leagues, regardless of matchup.

LeQuint Allen Jr. Involved Sparingly Early in Year 2
Jacksonville Jaguars running back LeQuint Allen Jr. has seen minimal usage on offense through the first four games of his second NFL season. He has logged snaps in every game, but he has yet to log a carry. He has mostly played on passing downs, resulting in two catches for nine receiving yards so far. This shouldn't necessarily come as a surprise, though, as Allen has seventh-round draft capital and entered this season as the clear No. 3 option behind Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez Jr. Allen can be left on waivers in redraft leagues, but he's still an appealing stash in dynasty formats. Because of his pass-catching ability, he could sneak onto the fantasy radar in PPR leagues if Tuten or Rodriguez were to miss any time. Plus, at just 22 years old, he still has plenty of time to carve out a meaningful role.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. Will Remain Involved as Jaguars' RB2 Vs. Eagles
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. enters a Week 5 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles in London still listed as a co-starter on the team's depth chart, but he operates clearly behind Bhayshul Tuten. Rodriguez will continue to play a role, however, as he is coming off of a performance against the Cincinnati Bengals in which he recorded six carries for 35 yards (5.8 yards per carry) and a touchdown. Rodriguez has scored a touchdown in back-to-back games. However, he has yet to record a reception (or a target in the passing game). Through four games in 2026, Rodriguez has recorded 26 carries for 108 yards (4.2 yards per carry) and a touchdown. According to RotoBaller's NFL stats page, Rodriguez has received six red-zone carries and scored a touchdown in the red zone. Meanwhile, Tuten leads the team with 60 carries for 277 yards (4.6 yards per carry) and two touchdowns. Tuten has received nine red-zone carries and caught one red-zone target, while scoring one touchdown in the red zone. Rodriguez ranks as RotoBaller's No. 42 running back for Week 5, and he is projected to score 4.9 fantasy points. He does not need to be in your lineup for Week 5 if you have other options available.

Bhayshul Tuten Remains Consistent RB2 With Upside in Week 5
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten will look to continue his great start to the season in Week 5 in a London matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. So far this season, Tuten is averaging just over 12 fantasy points per game in half-PPR and hasn't scored below nine fantasy points through four games. He almost had his first true breakout game of the season last week, but had two touchdowns called back due to penalties, including one for 44 yards. In his first full season as the starter, Tuten has shown signs of potential given his initial volume. If he can rattle off a big play or two and get more involved in the passing game, the 23-year-old back has a chance for his first clear RB1 performance of the season. Start Tuten with confidence against the Eagles, whose defense has been average against running backs in fantasy so far this season and just allowed 80 rushing yards and two scores to Kyren Williams last Sunday.

Bhayshul Tuten Could Be on the Verge of a Breakout Season
Across four games so far in 2026, Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten has recorded 60 carries for 277 yards and two touchdowns. Tuten has split rushing work to some degree with fellow Jaguars back Chris Rodriguez Jr., who has tallied 108 rushing yards and two touchdowns this season. However, Tuten has emerged as the clear lead back in Jacksonville in recent weeks, recording back-to-back games with at least 17 touches and 90 yards from scrimmage in Weeks 3 and 4. The 23-year-old currently ranks as the RB15 in half-PPR scoring and could only be on his way up as the season progresses. As long as Jacksonville's key offensive pieces around him stay healthy, Tuten profiles as a high-end RB2 with RB1 upside for fantasy managers going forward.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. a Sneaky Waiver-Wire Target for Touchdown Upside
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. has now scored a touchdown in back-to-back games, making him an appealing option for fantasy managers seeking a higher-ceiling player on the waiver wire. The waiver wire can run pretty dry at times, and the opportunity to get someone with touchdowns in two consecutive games doesn't come around very often. That's why Rodriguez is worth adding, despite the fact that he has just 14 touches over his last two games and hasn't played more than 25% of the snaps since Week 1. We expect Rodriguez's touchdown streak to earn him more volume going forward, and he might even find the end zone again. Plus, even in the worst-case scenario, he's still a solid handcuff given his role in a highly productive offense.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. is Gaining Value After Scoring in Back-to-Back Games
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. is beginning to turn a corner after a slow start to the season. Rodriguez has been quiet during the first two weeks, but he has found the end zone in each of the last two games. So far across four games, Rodriguez has carried the ball 26 times for 108 yards and two scores. He usually only gets six carries per game, but he has salvaged his fantasy value with two trips into the end zone. Fantasy managers who are looking for running back help should consider adding Rodriguez. He would see an increased role if Bhayshul Tuten ever goes down with an injury. Until then, Rodriguez is a touchdown-dependent option who might be able to help fantasy managers in deep leagues.
