Bhayshul Tuten
vs Tucker Kraft

“Bhayshul Tuten is in a split backfield, but just like Kyren Williams and D’Andre Swift , it usually doesn’t matter. When you’re the lead back, even in a split backfield, on a high-scoring offense, you’re going to score points. It might be frustrating to watch the backup running back steal a valuable touchdown from time to time, but that comes with the territory.”

“Bhayshul Tuten ranks as a low-end RB2 and a potential buy-low candidate with 31 opportunities through the first two weeks.”

“Bhayshul Tuten has seen consistency in his workload through two games, with designed carry shares of 51.7% and 54.2% and route shares of 34.5% and 33.3%. He has averaged 15.5 touches and 75 total yards while splitting the red zone rushing role with Chris Rodriguez (each has two red zone rushing attempts). Tuten has been stellar on a per-rush basis.”

“One of the biggest worries of the offseason centered around the backfield split for Jacksonville, and primarily whether or not Bhayshul Tuten would be the preferred option for the Jaguars around the goal line over Chris Rodriguez . While Rodriguez has been involved to a minor degree for the Jags, it has been Tuten who was able to find the end zone this week and has overall dominated the touches in this offense. Maybe more importantly, Tuten’s TD carry came from short yardage, which should probably be the larger worry where C-Rod would be involved.”

“Bhayshul Tuten will compete with Chris Rodriguez to be the lead back for the Jaguars in 2026.”

“During this time, reports out of camp were glowing, with head coach Liam Coen even saying that Tuten is primed for a big season. We also saw reports of Tuten dominating some joint practices and looking the part of a featured back.”

“Bhayshul Tuten is my favorite league-winning running back candidate because the opportunity is finally there to match his talent. As a rookie, Tuten ranked fifth among qualifying running backs in rushing success rate, 11th in missed tackle rate, and averaged 12.8 PPG when seeing 10+ touches last season.”

“” – Mark Ringo ( Sleepers and Busts ) “ Bhayshul Tuten is the running back outside the top 15 I want on as many teams as possible this season. As a rookie, Tuten ranked fifth in rushing success rate and 11th in missed tackle rate despite playing behind Travis Etienne, who is now gone.”

“Kraft is still only 10 months removed from ACL surgery after tearing it in mid-November 2025. Even with that, he has seen a 63% route share over the past two weeks. While that is just outside the top 10 tight ends in usage, I expect his role to continue growing as the year goes on.”

“With Christian Watson and Matthew Golden dominating targets from Jordan Love – the pair have accounted for 50% of team targets at all positions – it is hardly surprising that Kraft has been left to pick up scraps as the clear third option in this Green Bay passing game. Sure, he may still be recovering from that torn ACL…but all reports heading into the season were that he was 100% good-to-go; so I am not buying it. Contrast this with Kelce and his almost sickening chemistry with Mahomes, and it looks as if Zeus could once again be near the summit of the TE mountain come the fantasy playoffs.”

“TE Tucker Kraft vs ATL If you have Kraft, make sure he is in your lineup tonight against Atlanta. The ramp-up happened quickly off the ACL injury, with Kraft’s snap involvement going from 66% in week one to 98% last week. The Packers’ offense struggled to get much of anything going last week, but the consensus seems to be that Kraft’s usage (or lack thereof) might have been the problem.”

“Given his current cost, Tucker Kraft is my favorite tight end to target this season, compared to the options ahead of him.”

“Christian Watson and Jayden Reed were given extensions, Tucker Kraft is back healthy, and first-round receiver Matthew Golden is entering his sophomore season.”
