BhayshulTuten

News: 4 days agoTuten carried the ball 12 times for 39 yards and caught all four of his targets for 48 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Texans.

Spin: While the Houston front seven kept him bottled up on the ground -- Tuten's longest run went for just five yards -- the second-year RB made an impact through the air, turning a dump pass from Trevor Lawrence into a 27-yard score in the second quarter before catching another two-yard TD before halftime. The receiving touchdowns were his first of the season and tied his total from all of 2025, and Tuten topped 80 scrimmage yards for the fourth straight game. The Jaguars will get a bye before facing the Colts in Week 8.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Tuten is positioned to take over lead-back duties in Jacksonville following the offseason departure of Travis Etienne Jr. Tuten played sparingly as a rookie, totaling 83 carries and 14 targets in 15 games. He cleared 10 touches in only one game (a 15-touch, 74-yard effort in Week 11), but he did find the end zone in all four games in which he had at least eight touches. The 2025 fourth-round pick will see some scoring regression (seven TDs on 93 touches), but he flashed in limited work, can contribute as a rusher and receiver, is working in a good offense and has only journeyman Chris Rodriguez Jr. and passing-down specialist LeQuint Allen Jr. as his competition. Tuten is still unproven, but the 23-year-old has a path to a breakout season.
