Bhayshul Tuten poised for key role with Jaguars in 2026

Summary

As the 2026 NFL season approaches, Bhayshul Tuten is positioned as the Jacksonville Jaguars' potential lead running back. Following the departure of Travis Etienne, Tuten’s role is expected to increase significantly despite limited opportunities in his rookie season. Last year, he averaged just 5.9 fantasy points per game, largely serving as a backup. Analysts are split on Tuten's prospects, balancing his elite athleticism and past production against concerns about his ability to seize the starting role. The Jaguars' high-scoring offense could provide Tuten with a platform to make an impact this season.

What they're saying

"
Bhayshul Tuten was an exciting late-round dart throw in last year’s fantasy football drafts. The potential for him to overtake a very suspect (at the time) Travis Etienne made him quite intriguing.
