According to Travis Holmes of Big Cat Country, Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten appears to be pulling ahead in the RB competition during team practices. Holmes noted that Tuten "looks like a hard man to take off the field." While veteran running backs Travis Etienne Jr. and Tank Bigsby have been given more opportunities with the first team during training camp, the fourth-round rookie has been making a strong case to take the starting job. During his preseason debut, Tuten ran the ball six times nd picked up 24 yards and a rushing score. Even though he was deployed as the No. 3 running back in this game, seeing him flash more potential during practice should quickly push him up the depth chart. Last season, Etienne had a disappointing campaign, posting a career-low 3.7 YPC. For now, Tuten remains an intriguing late-round target in drafts as he could slowly take over the starting job as the season progresses.

Dallas Cowboys running back Jaydon Blue (heel) is no longer using a walking boot, but hasn't participated in practice since last week. That being said, it's unlikely that Blue is going to be ready to play against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday. The Cowboys probably aren't going to put Blue into game action without him getting any practice reps this week. Before going down, Blue looked impressive in camp, so hopefully he'll be able to get back on the field soon. It seems unlikely that he'll surpass Javonte Williams on the depth chart, but Blue could have a role as a backup to begin the season.
Still trying to decide between Tuten and Blue? Check on the latest news to make sure both players are active and healthy. Our PPR projections show that Bhayshul Tuten is projected to score 3.1 points this week while Jaydon Blue is projected to score 5.3 points.
