News: 5 days agoRodriguez rushed 10 times for 19 yards and a touchdown and brought in both targets for 13 yards in the Jaguars' 33-10 win over the Ravens on Thursday night.

Spin: Rodriguez finished with just two fewer carries than Bhayshul Tuten, who came into the game managing ankle and foot injuries and was able to log a relatively abbreviated workload thanks to game script. Both backs had plenty of trouble against Baltimore's stout run defense, but Rodriguez salvaged his fantasy night with a two-yard TD run just past the midway point of the fourth quarter. Rodriguez now has scored in back-to-back games heading into a Week 10 road matchup against the Titans on Sunday, Nov. 15.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Rodriguez, a 2023 sixth-round NFL draft pick, spent his first three seasons with Washington and has primarily played a depth role, but he did hit career-high marks in touches (115), yardage (530) and touchdowns (six) in 2025. Rodriguez has handled more than 10 touches in nine career games and averaged 13.1 touches, 65.9 yards and 11.7 fantasy points with a total of seven touchdowns in those outings. Though he's an effective rusher, Rodriguez is not an option in the passing game (seven career targets). The 26-year-old's contract included a healthy $6.2 million in guarantees, so he's likely to have a legitimate offensive role as a counterpart to second-year backs Bhayshul Tuten and LeQuint Allen Jr. Rodriguez might score the occasional touchdown, but his role won't allow consistent fantasy output. He's best stashed on benches.
