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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Tuten was also limited during practice last week with a shoulder injury, but he ended up playing in the Week 3 win over the Houston Texans and went for 21 rushing yards and his first NFL rushing touchdown on six carries. He failed to catch his only target. The 23-year-old wasn't as efficient as he was in the Week 2 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, but he was able to find the end zone for the second straight week as the change-of-pace back behind Travis Etienne Jr. Barring a setback with his shoulder, Tuten should be fine to suit up for a Week 4 meeting against a San Francisco 49ers defense that just lost Nick Bosa (knee) for the year. Consider Tuten an upside RB3/flex play this weekend.
Sep 24, 2025 10:55 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten scored a touchdown for the second straight week in his team's 17-10 Week 3 win over the Houston Texans. The 23-year-old finished the game with six carries for 21 yards and a score, and has now logged 106 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on 19 total touches this season. Tuten remains behind veteran running back Travis Etienne Jr. in the Jaguars' backfield pecking order. Still, Tuten has consistently flashed high-end upside and may be able to steal touches away from Etienne Jr. as the season progresses. Tuten should be rostered in all league formats, and he profiles as a low-end RB3/flex option in Week 4 against the San Francisco 49ers.
Sep 23, 2025 9:58 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said that rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten "has taken a huge jump from the spring" and also compared him to Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving, whom he coached last year. Tuten is focusing on all the little details and is still a work in progress in his first NFL season, but Coen has liked what he's seen, and there's no denying that the 23-year-old is an intriguing hold in all fantasy leagues, especially after the Jags traded Tank Bigsby to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 2. Bigsby was limited in practice this week, but he's off the final injury report and will play in Week 3 against the division-rival Houston Texans, where he should be viewed as an RB3/flex with upside behind Travis Etienne Jr. Tuten had eight carries for 42 yards and also caught two passes for 32 yards and his first career touchown in last week's loss to the Cincinatti Bengals with an elevated workload.
Sep 19, 2025 7:19 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten (shoulder) was seen wearing a non-contact jersey on the field during Thursday's practice, according to Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union. It means that Tuten was limited in practice for the second straight day this week after apparently picking up a shoulder injury in the Week 2 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. The 23-year-old may need to upgrade to a full practice session on Friday if he wants to avoid a questionable tag heading into this weekend's divisional clash against the 0-2 Houston Texans. It could open rookie LeQuint Allen Jr. up to the RB2 role behind starter Travis Etienne Jr. Tuten got a big boost in his fantasy stock when the Jags traded Tank Bigsby to the Eagles last week, and it showed immediately in an elevated workload last weekend, when he had eight carries for 42 yards and added two catches for 32 yards and a touchdown.
Sep 18, 2025 5:30 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten (shoulder) saw his snap share increase exponentially in their 31-27 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2. With Jacksonville flipping former backfield mate Tank Bigsby to the Philadelphia Eagles earlier in the week, playing time opened up behind starter Travis Etienne Jr., and Tuten made his opportunities count. The 23-year-old was fourth in the pecking order during Week 1, playing behind rookie counterpart LeQuint Allen Jr. In Week 2, however, Tuten outsnapped Allen Jr. 18-11 and out-touched him 10-2. Furthermore, the former looked explosive, displaying power and agility. Etienne Jr. is the back to own currently, but Tuten has made a case to be his handcuff and garner an increased role in the offense. The Jags' ground attack looks excellent right now, so he could be well on his way to making that happen. He'll be one to watch this Sunday in their matchup with Houston.
Sep 18, 2025 11:13 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten (shoulder) was limited during Wednesday's practice session. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried as Tuten still has plenty of time to get ready before the Week 3 matchup against the Houston Texans. Without Tank Bigsby in the picture, Tuten was able to make a big splash last week. He rushed eight times for 42 yards while adding two receptions for 32 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Sadly, Tuten is going to have his value limited as the backup to Travis Etienne Jr. right now. Despite that, Tuten should continue to see his role rise if he plays well. He should be rostered in most 12-team formats at the moment even as the backup.
Sep 17, 2025 9:23 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten logged 10 touches in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals, finishing with 74 yards from scrimmage and a receiving touchdown. In Jacksonville's first game after trading away running back Tank Bigsby to the Philadelphia Eagles, Tuten looks like the team's clear RB2 behind Travis Etienne Jr. The 23-year-old Tuten has flashed upside as an explosive playmaker and should have a role with the Jaguars even if Etienne Jr. stays healthy. If Etienne Jr. were to get injured, Tuten would immediately become a must-start fantasy running back. Where available, Tuten should be a priority waiver-wire addition in all league formats.
Sep 16, 2025 11:26 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten assumed the team's RB2 role entirely in their 31-27 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. After ex-teammate Tank Bigsby was traded to Philadelphia following Week 1, Tuten figured to operate as Travis Etienne Jr.'s primary backup. LeQuint Allen Jr. still worked in some (11 snaps), but did so behind the former Virginia Tech Hokie (18). While both took the field far fewer than Etienne Jr. (47), Tuten out-touched his rookie counterpart 8-2 on the ground. Furthermore, he pulled in both of his targets, matching Etienne Jr.'s receptions total, and outgaining him 32-18. There's no question that Etienne Jr. owns the backfield in Jacksonville. Tuten's role should grow as the season continues, though, and the Jags' offense won't always be in its own way.
Sep 15, 2025 11:17 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten has climbed into the RB2 role on the team's updated depth chart. In Week 1, Tuten logged three carries for 11 yards during the win over Carolina, while Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby combined to play 83% of the snaps, with Etienne dominating the touches. Following the game, Jacksonville traded Bigsby to the Eagles, opening the door for Tuten, along with seventh-round rookie LeQuint Allen Jr., to compete for the backup job. The Jaguars face the Bengals in Week 2, a defense that struggled in 2024. While Tuten is not yet a fantasy starter, his path to meaningful touches has become much clearer with Bigsby's departure, making him a bench stash with upside in all formats.
Sep 12, 2025 9:05 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten is set to see increased opportunities in Week 2 following the trade of Tank Bigsby. Tuten logged three carries for 11 yards in Jacksonville's 26-10 win over the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. The backfield was dominated by starter Travis Etienne, who piled up 156 scrimmage yards on 19 touches. Tuten is expected to split backup duties with fellow rookie LeQuint Allen Jr., the 2025 seventh-round pick who profiles more as a pass-catching option. The Jaguars head on the road to face the Cincinnati Bengals, whose run defense looked sharp in Week 1, holding Cleveland's ground game under 50 total yards and just 2.0 yards per carry. While Tuten is an intriguing stash given the shift in Jacksonville's depth chart, Etienne remains the clear workhorse, so the rookie running back should remain on your bench this week.
Sep 10, 2025 10:13 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten is expected to handle increased opportunities going forward after the team traded Tank Bigsby to the Philadelphia Eagles. Tuten only rushed three times for 11 yards in Week 1, but he should earn more carries as he goes from No. 3 to No. 2 on the depth chart. The larger role is enough to justify keeping tabs on Tuten in fantasy football, but he's not a fantasy starter quite yet. Travis Etienne Jr. asserted himself as the Jaguars' only fantasy-relevant running back on Sunday as he totaled 156 scrimmage yards. For now, Tuten, a rookie, should be left on the bench in dynasty and redraft leagues.
Sep 8, 2025 11:04 PM EST
ESPN's Dan Graziano thinks that Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten could come out of nowhere to surprise everyone in Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers. Graziano doesn't think the Jaguars even know yet how their backfield will shake out in 2025. Travis Etienne Jr. and Tank Bigsby are the incumbents, but the team took both Tuten and LeQuint Allen Jr. in this year's draft. Graziano writes that while Etienne and Bigsby will get the first shot, the "new front office and coaching staff drafted Tuten and Allen and have plans for them." Tuten is a "home run hitter" and is the most explosive of the group, and his explosiveness "could lead to greater opportunities sooner rather than later." The 23-year-old is an interesting watch candidate in shallow fantasy leagues to begin the season and is worth a stash in deeper leagues, especially if you already have Etienne or Bigsby rostered.
Sep 4, 2025 12:36 PM EST
An AFC scout told Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic that Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten is an "explosive, home-run hitter." A fourth-round pick out of Virginia Tech, Tuten averaged 6.3 rushing yards per attempt and scored 17 total touchdowns in his final collegiate season with the Hokies. He enters the year battling for playing time in the Jaguars' backfield with Travis Etienne Jr. and Tank Bigsby. There doesn't seem to be a definitive hierarchy between the three backs, making the Jacksonville running back room a difficult one for fantasy managers to evaluate. If Tuten produces when given the opportunity, there's a chance that he seizes the team's RB1 role and runs with it. He's worthy of a late-round pick in drafts, but managers may have to be patient through the early part of the season.
Sep 1, 2025 9:26 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten finished his preseason with 16 carries for 59 yards and two touchdowns. The fourth-round pick out of Virginia Tech, who missed some training camp time with a hamstring injury, has shown flashes of his dual-threat ability. Tuten, who had 1,159 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns on the ground and 23 catches for 81 yards and two touchdowns in his final year at Virginia Tech, will start the season behind Travis Etienne Jr. and Tank Bigsby. However, he is a late-round stash with massive upside if either of the starters gets hurt. He could carve out a significant pass-catching role for himself throughout the season.
