Who Should I Start? Tank Bigsby or Bhayshul Tuten

Saturday, August 2, 1:05 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby was in on the team's entire first drive of their scrimmage on Friday at training camp, and Travis Etienne Jr. and rookie Bhayshul Tuten weren't seen at all. It's just a scrimmage early in camp, but it's worth noting as Bigsby looks to take control of a bigger part of Jacksonville's backfield under new head coach Liam Coen in 2025. During practices, both Bigsby and Etienne have been rotating work with the first-team offense, so the Jags could use a straight committee approach to their running game. RotoBaller has Etienne ranked as the RB33 this year, with Bigby checking in at No. 50. Bigsby was impressive last year, though, rushing for 766 yards and seven touchdowns on 168 carries (4.6 yards per tote). He could command a larger share of touches in 2025, but his lack of passing-game prowess hurts his overall fantasy upside.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten (hamstring) participated in positional drills but not in the team portions of Jacksonville's training camp practice on Thursday, according to ESPN's Mia O'Brien. Tuten had missed the last few days of practice with a hamstring injury, but it appears as though it will not cause him to miss significant time. Drafted in the fourth round out of Virginia Tech, Tuten rushed for 1,159 yards and 15 touchdowns in 11 games last season for the Hokies. He's competing with Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby for playing time in the Jaguars' backfield, but early reporting indicates that Tuten is the clear RB3 in Jacksonville at this point.
