BhayshulTuten

News: 4 days agoTuten carried nine times for 29 yards and a touchdown while catching his lone target for minus-three yards during Sunday's 30-29 win against the Raiders. He also returned two kickoffs for 55 yards.

Spin: The rookie fourth-round pick tied his season high with 10 offensive touches and scored the third touchdown of his NFL career with a one-yard run in the fourth quarter, though starting running back Travis Etienne still dominated the backfield work with a season-high 27 touches. Fellow rookie tailback LeQuint Allen actually played 22 offensive snaps compared to Tuten's 20 but received just two touches. Tuten should continue to operate as Jacksonville's No. 2 running back but doesn't offer much fantasy upside with Etienne still receiving the lion's share of the opportunities.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Tuten was selected by Jacksonville in the fourth round of April's draft. He struggled with negative runs (22%) and fumbles (class-high 2.5% rate) during his 24 games at Virginia Tech, but his efficiency was elite, as he ranked third in both YAC and forced missed tackle rate. He dominated the combine, posting RB-best marks in the 40 (4.32), speed score (118) and vertical (40.5). Tuten is fast, tough and has three-down ability, though his Year 1 opportunity is unclear with Travis Etienne Jr. and Tank Bigsby also on the depth chart. That could lead to a limited early-season role, but the uncertainty also allows him a chance to steal lead-back duties. Tuten is well worth a late pick, as he could eventually work his way into the RB2 discussion.
