The Jacksonville Jaguars (4-2) will host the Los Angeles Rams (4-2) in Week 7. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Bhayshul Tuten.

Should You Start or Sit Bhayshul Tuten in Week 7?
Confirmation bias can be a helluva drug.
Bhayshul Tuten was one of the big risers during the summer, and that hype didn’t slow when Jacksonville worked to get him dangerous touches earlier in the season.
He paid them off with touchdowns in Weeks 2 and 3, but even with Tank Bigsby since being traded to Philadelphia, the rookie hasn’t seen his role expand in the slightest.
The rookie hasn’t reached a 26% snap share in a single game this season and was present for just 14.7% of their offensive snaps in the Week 6 loss at the hands of the Seahawks. I don’t think the draft picks were wrong to highlight the former Hokie; there certainly is some burst to his profile, but he’s not in a position to return any sort of standalone value.
Travis Etienne hasn’t been great of late as the lead man in this backfield, and that calls into question just how much value Tuten would realistically have if he fell into the lead role.
I still think he’s a reasonable hold, though you have to have enough bench spots to be able to swallow a player that isn’t going to have any flex appeal unless an injury were to occur ahead of him.
