Fantasy Football Video: Will Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten take a step forward, break out in 2026?

The Jacksonville Jaguars may have the most crowded and confusing offense for fantasy football heading into 2026. We know the receiving corps goes four players deep and then there's TE Brenton Strange.

At running back, Travis Etienne Jr. bounced back under Liam Coen last season, but has left for the New Orleans Saints. That leaves second-year RB Bhayshul Tuten, veteran Chris Rodriguez Jr. and LeQuint Allen Jr. as the three backs left to duke it out for carries this season.

Tuten showed a lot of promise as a rookie spelling Etienne, rushing 83 times for 307 yards and five TDs while adding 10 catches for 79 yards and two more scores. The consensus is that Tuten should lead the backfield. Matt Harmon and Justin Boone go deeper into the subject on the latest episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast.

Boone still believes that Tuten has a lot to prove and isn't the sure-fire RB1 for Jacksonville quite yet. But if we start to hear positive reports out of training camp on Tuten, that should raise his fantasy stock, per Boone. Plus, Rodriguez is dealing with an injury that may hold him out early in camp. If that lingers, it's even better for Tuten's prospects.

All of that could lead to Tuten's ADP rising. As of now in early Yahoo drafts, Tuten's going off the board as the RB23. Boone has the Jags' back ranked just below that at RB24 in his July rankings update. The analyst says that ranking could change if Tuten's ADP continues to rise.

Harmon wishes nothing but the best for Tuten but states that his price as the RB24 is perfect. Harmon doesn't want his stock to rise up to the RB18-19 range in which the value gets hurt a bit. For that reason, Harmon is still buying Tuten because he's a good breakout candidate for fantasy in 2026.
