Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten was unable to find much success in the running game during Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Tuten rushed the ball seven times for 17 yards in the overtime victory. It's worth noting that Tuten did carry an ankle injury into this game, so possibly that impacted his performance on the field. In Week 11, Tuten rushed for 74 yards with a touchdown in the win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The rookie back remains the backup, but should continue seeing nearly double digit carries per week. His struggles this week could make fantasy managers hesitant, but he does head into a plus matchup against the Tennessee Titans in Week 13.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) has been cleared to play in Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Arizona Cardinals, and he'll have a terrific opportunity to build on last weekend's career-best outing. It's common for rookies to get more involved in the weeks following their team's bye, and that's exactly what we saw from Tuten. In his third game post-bye week last Sunday, the Virginia Tech product rushed 15 times for 74 yards and a touchdown, and he would have earned even more touches if he hadn't left early due to injury. Tuten and Travis Etienne Jr. showed that they can co-exist productively, and that the Jaguars' offense is at its best when they're running the ball effectively. Even with Etienne still in the mix, Tuten should be able to carve out a significant role again this Sunday. The Jaguars could go run-heavy with Travis Hunter (knee) and Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) sidelined, and they should take advantage of a Cardinals defense allowing the 11th-most fantasy points and fourth-most rushing touchdowns to opposing running backs in 2025. Tuten ranks as the RB30 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings, and he should be started in most leagues with 12 or more teams.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) was listed as limited in practice every day this week, but was cleared from the injury report and will play in Week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals. Tuten finally had his breakout game of the season in Week 11 against the Chargers, handling 15 carries for 74 yards and a touchdown in the win. He injured his ankle during the game, which forced him to exit early, but it doesn't seem to be an issue. The rookie fourth-rounder played a season high 42.9% of the snaps and out-carried fellow running back Travis Etienne Jr. 15 to 12 before leaving. The dynamic rookie's role should continue to expand in the coming weeks as he has looked great in his opportunities. Etienne followed a similar pattern to Tuten this week in practice as he was limited with a shoulder injury, but heads into Sunday without an injury designation. Etienne should still serve as the RB1, but Tuten has earned more work, and it could wind up being close to a 50-50 split on Sunday in Arizona. Tuten ranks as RotoBaller's RB30 in PPR formats for Week 12.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) was limited in practice all week but was cleared from Friday's final injury report and will be active in Week 12 against the hosting Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, according to ESPN's Michael DiRocco. Travis Etienne Jr. (shoulder) was limited all week, too, but he has also been cleared. The 23-year-old Tuten had a career-high 15 carries for 74 yards and a touchdown in the Week 11 win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, with his increased usage potentially having something to do with Etienne's shoulder injury. Fantasy managers want to know if Tuten's elevated workload from last weekend will continue. It remains to be seen, but the Jags figure to lean heavily on the ground game again in an excellent matchup against Arizona. Tuten should be viewed as an explosive, upside RB3/flex as he looks to stack two straight strong games.
Nov 21, 2025 7:45 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) was seen practicing on Thursday without a non-contact jersey, according to Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union. Tuten injured his ankle in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Chargers and was limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. It looks like the 23-year-old could be a full-go on Thursday, while Travis Etienne Jr. (shoulder) appears to be limited for the second straight day. Tuten and Etienne combined for three rushing touchdowns in the Week 11 blowout victory, and Tuten played a season-high 32% of the offensive snaps. Even if Etienne is cleared to play this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, Tuten could once again see an elevated workload that could give him RB2 upside. Tuten is rostered in only 39% of Yahoo leagues. That number should be much higher with Etienne banged up.
Nov 20, 2025 1:23 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday due to an ankle injury that he suffered late in the Week 11 win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Backfield mate Travis Etienne Jr. (shoulder) was also injured on Sunday, which likely played a part in Tuten's career day. The 23-year-old had season-highs across the board in snap percentage (32%), rushing attempts (15), and rushing yards (74) while scoring his third touchdown of the year. Etienne and Tuten appear to be trending toward both playing this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, but Tuten's impressive performance against the Bolts might have earned him a bigger share of the backfield pie going forward. Tuten is only rostered in 37% of Yahoo leagues, so he's widely available and is worth a pickup with another good matchup on tap.
Nov 19, 2025 6:14 PM EST
Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union did not list Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) among the players who were not participating in the team's Wednesday walkthrough. Tuten was forced to exit early from his team's Week 11 win over the Los Angeles Chargers due to an ankle injury. However, his apparent on-field presence during practice on Wednesday could be a positive sign for his status in Week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals. Before leaving the game against the Chargers, Tuten was on his way to a breakout performance with 74 rushing yards and a touchdown on 15 carries. If he is active in Week 12, it's possible that Jacksonville will continue shifting touches away from veteran back Travis Etienne and towards Tuten. Fantasy managers should check back throughout the week as more information around Tuten's injury status is released.
Nov 19, 2025 11:54 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back out of Virginia Tech, Bhayshul Tuten (ankle), exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 11 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers with an ankle injury and didn't return. Important to note: he mentioned in an interview with Jamal St. Cyr, Sports Anchor for News4JAX, that his ankle is "good." Now, players are usually going to always say things like that, especially after a career day where he appeared to be in a 50/50 split with Travis Etienne from the first snap of the game for the first time all season. Regardless, Tuten was one of the most prized possessions on the waiver wire this week, and for good reason; he averaged a healthy 4.93 YPC in Week 11 and looked really efficient, breaking tackles and racking up yards after contact. With ETN in the picture, it's unlikely that Tuten will take over the backfield; however, moving forward, this may be more of a 50/50 split, giving both running backs low-end RB2 status. Fantasy managers will want to keep tabs on Tuten's practice logs this week, as they prepare to take on the Arizona Cardinals, who rank in the bottom 10 in fantasy points allowed to the running back position.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 11 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers with an injury, as the Jaguars went on to dominate the Chargers 35-6. A large part of their dominance was mainly due to the offensive line, Travis Etienne, Tuten, and the Jaguars' defense. At the time of his departure, he was having a career day, rushing for a career high 74 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown on 15 carries. Backfield mate, ETN, also rushed for 73 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries. According to Jamal St. Cyr, Storts Anchor for News4JAX, when asked about his ankle, Tuten said, "It's good," which is a good sign for his availability heading into Week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals. Tuten was involved fairly early in this contest, and his 15 carries were not due to the game being out of hand. He was clearly splitting touches with ETN early in the game, and it's something to monitor moving forward. Regardless, Tuten becomes a must-add in all formats based on his volume on Sunday, and immediately enters the RB3 conversation, especially if we can expect 8-12 carries from him.
Nov 17, 2025 9:31 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 11 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. He is officially listed as questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had exploded for 74 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown on 15 carries. The rookie was in the middle of the best game of his young career. At least temporarily, it appeared as though he had supplanted Travis Etienne Jr. as the primary running back in Jacksonville. With Tuten currently sidelined, Etienne will check back into the game as the Jaguars' lead back. Given that the Jaguars lead by four possessions in the fourth quarter, Jacksonville could hold Tuten out for the rest of the game to avoid the risk of re-injury. He'll have seven days to get healthy before next Sunday's clash against the Arizona Cardinals on the road.
Nov 16, 2025 3:31 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten had a season-high nine carries for 29 yards and scored his third touchdown of the year in the Week 9 overtime win over the Las Vegas Raiders. However, Tuten was unable to build on that performance in the Week 10 loss to the Houston Texans, carrying the ball just four times for five yards while catching one of his two targets for five additional yards. The 23-year-old played a season-high 27% of the offensive snaps, but fellow rookie LeQuint Allen Jr. saw a season-high 32% of the snaps as well. Travis Etienne Jr. remains the Jags' clear top back in Jacksonville, even though Tuten has teased fantasy managers in his rookie season with explosiveness and power out of the backfield. Tuten has fantasy value as a handcuff to Etienne, but he'll continue to be hard to trust as a touchdown-dependent RB4 heading into a Week 11 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Nov 11, 2025 12:46 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten matched his season-high with 10 offensive touches in Week 9, taking nine carries for 29 yards and his third NFL touchdown while also adding a catch on his only target for a loss of three yards. While he was involved, Tuten still played solidly behind Travis Etienne Jr., who had a season-high 27 touches. Tuten actually played fewer snaps than fellow rookie LeQuint Allen as well, but Allen only had two touches. The fourth-round rookie is primarily an early-down, change-of-pace option right now for the Jaguars, but he has shown enough upside to deserve a look on waiver wires if you need running back depth. He has touchdown-dependent upside going forward, even though he and the Jags have a tough matchup against the strong Texans' defense in Week 10.
Nov 4, 2025 8:09 AM EST
Running back Bhayshul Tuten of the Jacksonville Jaguars is still looking for a breakout week as the Jags take their bye in Week 8. A popular mid-round pick from the 2025 NFL Draft, the rookie landed in a situation with two established running backs in Travis Etienne Jr. and Tank Bigsby, but the Jags traded Bigsby to Philadelphia early in the season. The move ostensibly opened the way for Tuten, but he has yet to play more than 30% of the team's snaps in a game so far. The rookie scored touchdowns in Weeks 2 and 3, but recorded just 19 touches in the four games that followed. Tuten remains a hold in dynasty formats, but he can be left on waivers in most redraft leagues as long as Etienne is healthy.
Oct 23, 2025 10:06 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten (shoulder) was limited in practice on Wednesday, according to the team. After being limited in practice all last week, Tuten begins the Week 6 practice week with the same tag. He played in Monday night's win over the Chiefs, handling four rushes for only six yards and catching his lone target for five yards. The team may be keeping the rookie fresh during the week with the shoulder issue. Tuten will remain the primary backup to Travis Etienne Jr. for the time being and ranks as a low-end flex play for Week 6, assuming he is good to go.
Oct 9, 2025 12:23 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Despite being limited all week, Tuten is good to go for Monday night. Possibly, the Jaguars were just managing his reps because they know he's nursing a shoulder issue. Travis Etienne Jr. remains the workhorse back in Jacksonville, but Tuten continues to get mixed in as well. Through four games, Tuten has rushed 21 times for 88 yards and one touchdown. He has also hauled in three receptions for 40 yards and an additional score through the air. Tuten should be viewed as a touchdown-dependent flex for Week 5.
Oct 4, 2025 6:32 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten (shoulder) was limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Friday with a shoulder ailment. Tuten hasn't missed any time yet in his rookie campaign, but if he doesn't put in a full practice on Saturday, he could be questionable to play on Monday night in Week 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The 23-year-old feels safe to be active on Monday night, but his final injury status is worth watching on Saturday. Travis Etienne Jr. is the Jags' No. 1 back, but Tuten has been involved and has already shown his big-play ability early on. Tuten has averaged seven touches a game and 39 scrimmage yards while finding the end zone two times in the last three games. Against a stout Chiefs run defense, though, Tuten will merely be a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex for fantasy managers if he's active.
Oct 3, 2025 8:36 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, as he has been dealing with a shoulder injury for the last few weeks, but has suited up for each game since suffering the injury. He will have two more practice days to log full practice time to avoid missing Monday's matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs. At this time, Tuten is nothing more than a high-upside handcuff or bench stash, so fantasy managers are unlikely to be relying on him as a starter in their starting lineups at this time. However, the shoulder issue could explain part of the reason why we haven't seen his snap percentage increase much from Week 2. He has also seen his touches go down from 10 to seven to five in the last three weeks. Lead back Travis Etienne has been solid, but Tuten remains a top bench stash as he provides top-20 running back potential should Etienne experience any setbacks. When given the chance, Tuten is averaging 4.19 YPC on his 21 rush attempts and has contributed 40 yards through the air on three receptions to go along with two touchdowns.
Oct 3, 2025 9:59 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten has been efficient on his touches throughout the first four weeks of his career. He has 21 carries for 88 yards and a touchdown while securing three of four targets for 40 yards and another touchdown. The speedster has been among the best in the league at avoiding negative runs, but the explosive runs have not been there yet. He's served as the No. 2 back mostly to Travis Etienne Jr., while rookie LeQuint Allen has also mixed in here and there. Head coach Liam Coen has used him in creative ways in the red zone and also gave him a goal-line carry for a touchdown in Week 3. The workload and snap share haven't increased significantly yet, but they will likely grow as the season progresses. With his big-play ability, he could be a league-winner down the stretch.
Oct 1, 2025 1:02 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten (shoulder) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Tuten started the week as a limited participant in practice, but was able to upgrade to a full session on Friday. That was enough for the Jags to clear the rookie back for Sunday's contest. He should remain in the mix, but Travis Etienne Jr. is still the lead back right now. That being said, Tuten isn't going to offer strong starting value, but is certainly worth a stash in most fantasy formats.
Sep 26, 2025 6:25 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten (shoulder) remained a limited participant at Thursday's practice as he battles through a shoulder injury. The Virginia Tech product logged a week's worth of limited practices ahead of the team's win over the Houston Texans in Week 3, but would still suit up for the contest. However, Tuten saw his snap share decrease as fellow rookie rusher LeQuint Allen Jr. picked up extra work. Despite the discrepancy, the former out-touched the latter 6-1. Tuten looks to be the second option out of the backfield behind starter Travis Etienne Jr., and now we know the team is comfortable trotting him out there on less-than-ideal practice reps. As of now, he should be a go for Jacksonville's road outing with the San Francisco 49ers this Sunday. Allen Jr. would operate as the change-of-pace option behind Etienne Jr. if he's not.
