The Jacksonville Jaguars have been steadily climbing the AFC South under head coach Liam Coen. Right in the thick of the playoff race, they’ve been a stellar defensive unit, while the offense has given them just enough to keep them in and win them games.
Against the Houston Texans, they walked in with an opportunity to sweep the season series and take a commanding lead in the division over every team not named the Indianapolis Colts. To that effect, the first half went about as well as it could have gone. However, near the end of the period, the team suffered a major blow in the form of running back Bhayshul Tuten.
What Happened to Bhayshul Tuten?
Even though Travis Etienne Jr. has had a resurgent campaign in 2025, the Jaguars have been more creative in the backfield.
Trying to integrate a large number of players into the flow has led to varying levels of success.

However, against the Texans, while holding a 20-10 lead, it was a 33-yard kick return by Tuten that ultimately proved his downfall. Immediately clutching his leg, he was down on the field for a while as the athletic and medical staff came to check on him.
On the season, the Jags have been content with the production they’ve gotten from Etienne, using Tuten in a very limited manner. He has tallied 159 rushing yards and two touchdowns through eight games, while adding 171 return yards as well.
Tuten’s Fantasy Outlook
The fourth-round pick has shown a nose for the end zone at times, but the Jags have been content in labeling Travis Etienne as their lead back all season.
Tuten is an interesting dynasty hold, but in redraft leagues, with him yet to reach 10 carries in a game, he’s on the fringe of roster-worthy.
If he can work past this injury, there’s some contingent value to chase with him clearly the RB2 in Jacksonville, but there’s not really any hope for standalone value, barring an injury to Etienne.
