Bhayshul Tuten's Fantasy Outlook for 2026
Bhayshul Tuten, a fourth-round selection by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2025, faces a crowded backfield with Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby initially, and later with seventh-round rookie LeQuint Allen. After Jacksonville traded Bigsby, Tuten spent the rest of the season as the early-down backup to Etienne.
Tuten's performance in the 2025 season included 83 carries for 307 yards and five touchdowns, with 10 catches for 79 yards and two touchdowns. The Jaguars did not re-sign Etienne and instead added free agent Chris Rodriguez, who is a similarly low-volume, high-efficiency back. Rodriguez's return to practice in full pads has reopened the competition for the running back position.
The Jaguars' backfield is expected to feature a three-man rotation between Tuten, Rodriguez, and Allen, with Tuten widely expected to be the best fantasy option. However, the rotation's specifics are uncertain, and there is a risk that no one in the backfield can be trusted on a weekly basis, given the team's potential to be pass-first with its talent at quarterback, receiver, and tight end.
