Bhayshul Tuten vs Jameson Williams

“Rodriguez will remain a worry for Tuten at the goal line and to his overall touch count until we see his role fleshed out this season, but if he can be the clear lead guy, he has the talent to match Etienne’s RB13 finish last year in fantasy points per game.”

“This could be the big breakout season for Tuten, who, on a per-touch basis, flashed the immense talent that I really liked when he was in college.”

“The second-year back checks literally every box that sharp fantasy managers look for in upside RBs. Athleticism is an easy place to start, as Tuten ran a blazing 4.32 40-yard dash at last year’s NFL Combine.”

“With Travis Etienne Jr. now in New Orleans, there are now more than 250 vacated touches in Jacksonville for Bhayshul Tuten and new running back addition Chris Rodriguez Jr.”

“The Bhayshul Tuten hype train has only continued to grow this offseason. Despite the threat of newly acquired Chris Rodriguez, Tuten’s ADP has been on a steady rise this summer.”

“Bhayshul Tuten being ranked outside of the top 24 in half-PPR feels criminal. Yes, he will face competition from Chris Rodriguez in camp, but all signs point towards Tuten winning the starting running back role for Jacksonville.”

“Some may call me crazy, but I call Tuten a league winner.”

“Bhayshul Tuten was picked almost entirely on per-touch efficiency. Among 55 qualifying running backs last year, he ranked fifth in rushing success rate and 11th in missed tackles forced, elite marks for a rookie.”

“With Travis Etienne gone, Bhayshul Tuten will compete with Chris Rodriguez to be the lead back for the Jaguars in 2026. I want to bet on Tuten this year and his talent. Last year, Tuten was unfortunately robbed of the stretch run of his rookie season as he was sidelined by a finger injury.”

“Mike sees the upside in Tuten, expecting him to be boot-scootin' up to top-end RB volume this season.”

“Tuten never got much work while the team leaned on Travis Etienne; however, Etienne is in New Orleans now, and the Jags brought in Chris Rodriguez (WAS) to help carry the load. This situation is eerily similar to Chase Brown before he broke out in his second year in Cincinnati.”

“Bhayshul Tuten didn't show much in his rookie season, with only one game over 30% snap share. Still, when he was on the field, he made an impression.”

“Jameson Williams is always electrifying to watch, and he’s coming off a season where he caught 65 passes for 1,117 yards and seven touchdowns.”

“Jameson Williams is one of the most volatile wideouts in fantasy. Think back to the beginning of last season, when he gave you dud after dud, making you consider benching him, only to watch him go off in the one time you didn’t start him.”

“Jameson Williams (WR – DET) Anyone who plays in best ball fantasy football leagues loves the thought of drafting Williams. The former Alabama star is one of the most dangerous players in the NFL when at his best and can score a touchdown on nearly any play.”

“Jameson Williams (DET) – ADP 61.9 | WR25 Last season, Williams quietly finished as the WR12, showing what a down year it was at the wide receiver position.”

“What about the WRs? It seems like Jameson Williams is a point of conversation every year, and this year is no different. 2025 was kind of weird for him.”

“Detroit WR Jameson Williams received an honorable mention on this list: “He can fly and is slippery. His speed opens up intermediate cuts.”

“Furthermore, Williams was hard to trust every week, scoring 6.6 or fewer fantasy points in 41.2% of the games, including zero twice. Fantasy players should avoid drafting the former Alabama star at his current fifth-round and WR24 ADP and target a pass catcher with less volatility.”

“Detroit is excited about WR Jameson Williams' trajectory after showing "effort and engagement" during OTAs and developing as a route runner.”

“With a new offensive play caller and a healthy LaPorta expected to reclaim a significant role, Erickson believes Williams could return to being a volatile weekly option. The concern is the inconsistency that comes with relying on big plays and fluctuating target volume.”

“Williams caught fire late last season after Detroit changed play callers and injuries shifted additional targets his way. Specifically, Erickson pointed to the absence of Sam LaPorta as one of the biggest reasons Williams' role expanded. Those conditions have changed.”

“Williams had the best season of his career and has now strung together two consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. Williams is the WR25 in ADP, a rank he has solidly beaten over the last two seasons, as he finished WR19 in 2024.”

“The Lions also hired Drew Petzing as the offensive coordinator after he spent the last three seasons in Arizona. This could create another hurdle for consistency, especially when the offense already features Jahmyr Gibbs, Amon-Ra St. Brown and LaPorta. Unfortunately, it's likely Williams.”
