Erickson told drafters to circle Bhayshul Tuten at his ADP of 19. A brand-new coaching staff has no allegiance to Travis Etienne or Tank Bigsby, and Tuten brings verified explosiveness that fits the system. In a format that rewards spike weeks from surprise breakouts, Erickson sees Tuten as one injury—or simply an eye-opening camp—from overtaking the depth chart and becoming a best-ball league winner.

Siegele urged drafters to keep hammering rookie Bhayshul Tuten as Jacksonville’s lottery ticket. Front-office voices were hyping Tuten before the draft, and his pro-day explosion translated to elite college peripherals: break-away rate, yards after contact and receiving efficiency all popped. While buzz has pushed Travis Etienne up boards as a possible "passing-down specialist," Siegele thinks that same role caps Etienne’s ceiling and leaves early-down and goal-line chances wide-open for Tuten. Tank Bigsby’s price still baffles Siegele—his only decent peripherals came in one early-season game before completely face-planting once Etienne returned from injury. If Tuten converts even half of Jacksonville’s ambiguous green-zone work, he has a realistic path to next year’s Round-2 ADP like we saw with Breece Hall and Jahmyr Gibbs. The risk is real, but the payoff dwarfs the cost at his current Round-12 tag in both best ball and managed leagues.

Sean Koerner urged drafters to stash rookie Bhayshul Tuten as the cheapest path to upside in Jacksonville’s reshaped backfield. He expects incoming OC Liam Cohen—who just engineered the Buccaneers’ run-game turnaround that propelled Bucky Irving and boosted Rashad White’s efficiency— to replicate that schematic bump in Duval. While Travis Etienne gets the first crack and Tank Bigsby excelled on early downs, Koerner believes Cohen covets backs who can contribute in the passing game. Tuten averaged 2.3 receptions and 1.95 yards per route run at Virginia Tech, traits that mirror Irving’s profile. With Bigsby limited as a receiver and even a potential trade candidate, Koerner views Tuten as the likely third-down option who could vault into a lead-share if Etienne is moved or dinged. In volatile committees, Koerner defaults to the cheapest piece—right now that is Tuten in the final rounds of Best Ball and deep redraft formats.

Josh Norris admitted he was lower on Bhayshul Tuten prior to the draft because the former Virginia Tech back is almost exclusively an outside-zone runner (139 zone runs to just 51 gap runs in 2023) while Liam Cohen’s NFL offenses have historically leaned gap concepts for Bucky Irving-type backs. Even so, Norris still wants Tuten in the double-digit rounds. The rookie ranked near the top of his class in forced-missed-tackle rate and yards after contact, giving him true takeover potential in a backfield where Tank Bigsby fumbles and Travis Etienne’s heavy workload remain issues. Norris’ only road-block is ball security—if preseason fumbles pop up the staff could bury him—but at pick 128 you can simply cut bait by Week 8. The possible November/December bell-cow payoff outweighs the drop risk, making Tootin an ideal upside bench stash in redraft and best-ball leagues.

Ron Stewart urged drafters to scoop rookie Bhayshul Tuten in the double-digit rounds as the most exciting swing in Jacksonville’s ambiguous backfield. At 5-9, 206 with reported 4.3 speed, Tuten checks the athletic boxes and dominated advanced metrics among the eight backs taken in the first four rounds: third in missed tackles forced per touch, second in yards after contact per attempt, second in chunk-run rate, third in breakaway rate, third in elusiveness rating, first in receiving fantasy points per snap, and tops in speed score. Stewart compared the situation to last year’s Bucky Irving league-winning surge under Liam Cohen, noting Tank Bigsby’s fumbling issues and Travis Etienne’s heavy workload leave a clear runway for a late-season takeover. With an Underdog ADP of 132 and often undrafted in home leagues, Tootin can ride the bench early while you gather data, then potentially explode when rookie backs traditionally hit their stride in November and December. Stewart called him his most-drafted RB and the perfect upside lottery ticket for best-ball tournaments and redraft benches alike.

Erickson circled Bhayshul Tuten as a must-draft running back available around pick 19. He pointed out that Jacksonville’s new coaching staff has no loyalty to incumbents Travis Etienne or Tank Bigsby, opening the door for the rookie who posted elite explosive-run metrics in college. If Tuten earns even a 40-50% share, his big-play profile is tailor-made for best-ball spike weeks.

Davis Mattek believes fourth-round rookie Bhayshul Tuten is mispriced at pick 115 on Underdog and could overtake the entire Jaguars backfield. Mattek noted every major projection he trusts (Mike Clay, FantasyLife) is too low on Tuten, who posted workhorse numbers at North Carolina A&T and Virginia Tech despite playing in a frigid passing environment. Tootin’s Rotoviz sim score list spits out Jamal Charles and Devon Achane—the latter comparison backed by nearly identical combine numbers, only Tuten weighs 210 lbs instead of 185. Mattek likes that Liam Cohen just produced a top-4 scoring offense in Tampa while ranking only 10th in rushing attempts, suggesting high-value touches are available. With Etienne overpriced and Bigsby going 40 picks later, Mattek is doubling the field on Tuten now before inevitable ADP spikes.

Pete Overzet spotlighted rookie Bhayshul Tuten as the type of ultra-late running back who could swing leagues because Jacksonville’s entire depth chart is up for grabs. A brand-new coaching staff hand-picked Tuten on draft day while inheriting Travis Etienne, who has flashed but also struggled with vision and durability. Overzet expects Dave Canales to install a downhill, one-cut run scheme that suits the 210-pound Tuten, who broke 57 tackles last season at Virginia Tech and clocked a 4.46 forty. With the Jaguars offense adding Brian Thomas Jr. on the perimeter, the winner of this backfield could stumble into a gold-mine of touchdown equity. Tuten offers three outs: standalone committee value, a mid-season eruption if he overtakes Etienne, or injury-driven spike weeks. Because both pieces are still affordable, Overzet is sprinkling Tuten—and Etienne—across his Best Ball Mania portfolio to make sure he owns whichever back emerges.

Davis Mattek spotlighted Bhayshul Tuten as his round-11 hammer. Tuten posted the top speed score among running backs at the combine and landed in what Mattek calls a “nutted spot” under new OC Liam Coen. The only backs ahead of him are Tank Bigsby—PFF’s lowest-graded runner in 2023—and Travis Etienne, whom Mattek believes could be a surprise cut given contract dynamics. Coen’s offenses at Kentucky and with the Rams consistently fed one runner 65-plus percent of carries, heightening Tuten’s path to a three-down role. Mattek noted Jacksonville ranked sixth in red-zone trips last season, so any back earning primary duties can rack up touchdowns. At a double-digit-round cost, Tuten offers a legitimate league-winning ceiling if he simply outplays Bigsby in camp.

Sean Koerner flagged Bhayshul Tuten as a must-draft lottery ticket at his current RB39 price. Koerner stressed that Jacksonville’s entirely new front office and OC Liam Cohen have zero allegiance to holdovers Travis Etienne or Tank Bigsby. He pointed out the organization’s actions—trading away a 2nd- and 4th-rounder for a veteran back, then still spending pick 104 on Tuten —as proof they are determined to remake the backfield. Tuten blazed a 4.32 forty, giving him a 98th-percentile speed score and 97th-percentile burst, while landing at or above the 80th percentile in college yards per carry, target share and dominator rating. Koerner added that 63% of fourth-round backs over the last five seasons finished top-two on their teams in carries as rookies, citing Cohen’s usage of fellow fourth-rounder Bucky Irving for 207 carries and an RB2 fantasy finish in 2023. With an open depth chart and elite athletic profile, Koerner believes Tuten can earn 200+ touches and flirt with weekly RB2 numbers, making him a smash outside the top-40 backs in early best-ball drafts.

Sam Monson flagged rookie back Bhayshul Tuten as a sneaky upside dart in best-ball and deep redraft formats. Monson rattled off a 4.32 forty, 95th-percentile broad and vertical jumps, and a squat 5-9, 206-pound frame that perfectly fits Liam Cohen’s outside-zone, one-cut run game. Tuten generated a ridiculous 50 percent of his college yardage on breakaway runs and was the seventh RB drafted despite nine fumbles over his final two seasons. Monson thinks Jacksonville will deploy him as a change-of-pace rocket behind Travis Etienne, creating weekly spike-week potential in an offense deliberately collecting “home-run hitters” at every position. He advised scooping Tuten at the very end of best-ball drafts where raw ceiling matters more than consistent volume.

Jakob Sanderson called Bhayshul Tuten his favorite value pick in 2025 rookie drafts, saying managers can reliably grab the rookie running back anywhere from 2.02 to 2.06. Sanderson likes betting on inexpensive backs with three-down skill sets and thinks Tuten’s combination of burst and receiving chops gives him a realistic path to RB1 weeks as soon as injuries strike ahead of him. Because the dynasty market still focuses on first-round receivers, Sanderson believes Tuten is a classic 12-month arbitrage play: cheap to acquire now, expensive to buy later if he flashes. He is aggressively trading mid-second picks or depth veterans to secure Tuten shares before training-camp buzz hits.

Rob Coakley reiterated that he is actively taking the rookie Tuten ahead of Najee Harris whenever the choice pops up in the middle rounds. He believes Tuten’s ADP is about to leap into the 8th on Drafters because OC Ryan Cohen has no allegiance to Travis Etienne or Tank Bigsby, and Coakley already views Etienne as the most likely odd-man-out. In a cumulative-scoring format, the rookie’s clean path to fresh-legs upside and three-down work if he impresses in camp outweighs Harris’ capped receiving role and Pittsburgh’s run-heavy slog that offers little week-to-week eruption. Coakley wants to plant a flag before the market fully prices in Tuten’s takeover potential and is comfortable leaving every draft with a meaningful overweight position.

Discussing Jacksonville’s revamped backfield, Coakley said he is prioritizing rookie Bhayshul Tuten in the 10th round and expects him to be an 8th-round pick ‘quicker than he doesn’t.’ New Jaguars OC Ryan Cohen has no allegiance to Travis Etienne or Tank Bigsby, and Coakley believes Etienne is the most likely odd man out. Given the uncertainty, he prefers swinging on Tutin’s fresh-legs upside over Najee Harris in the same range. In cumulative formats, landing an eventual lead back two rounds ahead of an ADP spike is worth the short-term risk that Jacksonville signs a veteran during camp.

Rob Coakley advised scooping Bhayshul Tuten ahead of ADP—ideally in the 8th–9th—because new head coach Cohen has no allegiance to Travis Etienne or Tank Bigsby and could elevate the rookie quickly. Coakley noted that Cohen "is not tied to either of the previous running backs," and the staff has already hinted at shaking up the depth chart. He expects Etienne to be "phased out," making Tutin the logical beneficiary. Given that Tutin still slips to Round 10 right now, Coakley sees a narrow window to grab a potential lead back before sharper rooms push him two rounds earlier.

Erik Beimfohr said he will overweight Bhayshul Tuten—and likely Tank Bigsby—while outright fading Travis Etienne after Jacksonville’s regime change. New OC Liam Coen has historically rotated multiple backs, and the new front office immediately spent mid-round capital on Tuten, suggesting he’s their hand-picked piece rather than inherited depth. Beimfohr noted that Etienne’s efficiency has lagged (sub-4.0 yards per carry in 2024) and neither host has ever been bullish on him. With a three-man committee very much in play and trade rumors around Etienne still lingering, Beimfohr views Tuten as the cheapest shot at the Jaguars’ eventual lead role. His approach: star Tuten in every room, scoop Bigsby when the lobby forgets about him, and let someone else pay the Etienne tax.

Davis Mattek spotlighted rookie Bhayshul Tuten as a must-draft penny-stock after multiple camp sessions showed him consistently running with the Jaguars' first-team offense. Mattek noted Tuten's three-down profile at Virginia Tech—1,132 rushing yards, 33 catches and a 12% target share last season—fits Doug Pederson's preference for versatile backs. If the front office does move on from Travis Etienne, Tuten would inherit an 18-touch workload on an offense that finished 11th in red-zone trips and 9th in plays per game. With Tuten currently free or a last-round pick in Best Ball Mania drafts, Mattek urged drafters to scoop him now before preseason usage spikes his ADP several rounds.

Theo Gremminger selected fourth-rounder Bhayshul Tuten over Cam Skattebo, citing an easier path to touches in Jacksonville’s backfield and Liam Cohen’s obsession with big plays. Gremminger reminded listeners that last year Cohen turned another Day-3 rookie, Buck Irving, into a fantasy league-winner and that both Cohen and GM Trent Baalke mentioned "ability to score from distance" as a priority in their post-draft presser. Tuten averaged over 3.8 yards after contact and posted multiple 50-yard TDs in 2024, traits the Jaguars’ analytics department covets. With Travis Etienne entering his fifth-year option and Tank Bigsby failing to impress, Theo thinks Tuten could carve out the change-of-pace plus explosive-play role immediately and grow into 12-15 touches a game by fantasy playoffs.
