Jarquez Hunter News
Saturday, May 2, 5:25 AM
Los Angeles Rams running back Jarquez Hunter did not take an offensive snap as a rookie, seeing the field in only five games, exclusively on special teams. The 2025 fourth-round pick was a popular sleeper pick to immediately usurp primary backup duties from Blake Corum following a similarly quiet rookie season from the 2024 third-rounder. Instead, it was Corum who enjoyed a second-year breakout, finishing as the fantasy RB17 over the final six weeks of the season, leading to calls from some that he could see closer to a 50/50 split with Kyren Williams in 2026. The Rams did not add a running back in the NFL Draft, so Hunter's role as the third back on the depth chart seems locked in, but without an injury ahead of him to either Williams or Corum, expectations remain low heading into year two. For dynasty managers with the luxury, he should still be held at the end of benches, as his skillset matches Sean McVay's offense, and he may have the most natural athleticism of any back on the roster. That said, at RotoBaller's RB85, he's a prime cut candidate for contending managers needing to free up roster space for incoming rookies.

Bhayshul Tuten News
Wednesday, May 6, 10:00 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten still doesn't have the backfield all to himself, but he could be the team's top dynasty running back because of his age. All signs point to a true 50/50 split between Tuten and Chris Rodriguez, so even though they have different value in dynasty leagues, they're similarly valued in redraft formats. From a dynasty perspective, we're more intrigued by Tuten, who is just 23 years old, than Rodriguez, who is 26. Ever since he was drafted last year, it seemed like Tuten could be the eventual No. 1 ball-carrier in Jacksonville, and that outlook remains in place after the team watched Travis Etienne Jr. depart in free agency. Rodriguez could represent a thorn in his side, but he could also be a valuable complementary piece to keep Tuten's legs fresh and keep the offense less predictable. Given that we never felt like Tuten was going to be a dynasty RB1 anyway, we're not too concerned about the presence of Rodriguez. Tuten has low-end RB2 or high-end RB3 appeal this year, and he ranks as a low-end RB2 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.
