Bhayshul Tuten News
Friday, March 27, 11:58 AM
A fourth-round pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2025 NFL draft, running back Bhayshul Tuten racked up 386 scrimmage yards and seven touchdowns on 93 touches across 15 games as a rookie. The 23-year-old flashed high upside at different points throughout the year, but his path to consistent production was blocked off by the presence of former Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. Etienne Jr. departed Jacksonville for the New Orleans Saints in free agency, seemingly opening the door for Tuten to emerge as the team's clear RB1. However, the Jaguars signed former Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. in free agency, and a recent report suggests that the team plans to hold an open competition for the lead-back role in training camp. Still, Tuten is in a much better position for a breakout season than he was entering 2025. If he can outperform Rodriguez Jr. in the preseason, Tuten has the talent to emerge as a top-24 fantasy running back in 2026 and beyond. RotoBaller currently ranks him as the 21st-best running back for dynasty formats.

Tahj Brooks News
Friday, February 20, 7:31 AM
A sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Cincinnati Bengals running back Tahj Brooks played a minimal role on offense in his first professional season. Across 16 games, the 23-year-old recorded just 54 yards from scrimmage on 17 total touches. Bengals running back Chase Brown has logged nearly 600 touches over the past two seasons combined and is locked in as the RB1 in Cincinnati for at least 2026, blocking Brooks off from significant playing time. The Bengals also have steady veteran back Samaje Perine under contract for the 2026 season. Perine recorded 469 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns across 15 games with Cincinnati in 2025, and his reputation as a solid pass blocker and receiver should keep him secure in the team's third-down role. Post 2026, Brooks could have a pathway to more playing time in Cincinnati. However, it appears unlikely that he will have a chance to prove himself in the short term, barring an injury to Brown or Perine. Brooks' value in dynasty formats should be trending downward after his quiet rookie campaign.
