BhayshulTuten

News: 12 hours agoTuten carried the ball 22 times for 72 yards and caught two of three targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Eagles.

Spin: The second-year back set new season highs in touches and scrimmage yards as he reached 90 in the latter category for a third straight game. Tuten has yet to have a truly huge performance this season, but he's been very steady so far as the Jaguars' No. 1 RB, collecting 349 rushing yards and two TDs on 4.3 yards per carry while adding a 9-78-0 line on 10 targets through five games. Tuten hasn't gotten into the end zone in two straight games, a streak he'll look to snap in Week 6 against the Texans.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Tuten is positioned to take over lead-back duties in Jacksonville following the offseason departure of Travis Etienne Jr. Tuten played sparingly as a rookie, totaling 83 carries and 14 targets in 15 games. He cleared 10 touches in only one game (a 15-touch, 74-yard effort in Week 11), but he did find the end zone in all four games in which he had at least eight touches. The 2025 fourth-round pick will see some scoring regression (seven TDs on 93 touches), but he flashed in limited work, can contribute as a rusher and receiver, is working in a good offense and has only journeyman Chris Rodriguez Jr. and passing-down specialist LeQuint Allen Jr. as his competition. Tuten is still unproven, but the 23-year-old has a path to a breakout season.
