The Jacksonville Jaguars will visit the Indianapolis Colts in Week 17. 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.
Is Bhayshul Tuten Playing in Week 17?
Tuten is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Jaguars’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Tuten in Week 17?
Bhayshul Tuten has scored six times on his 88 touches this season, and given the success of Travis Etienne, I think you have to label this season a success for the fourth-round rookie out of Virginia Tech.
That said, this finger injury is going to require some time, and with the playoffs likely on the horizon, Jacksonville is operating with caution. Tuten sat out last week, and it’s possible that he’s played his last regular-season snap of 2025.
Even if he recovers faster than expected, we were looking at 5-8 touches most weeks at full strength. Etienne is a UFA this offseason, and that could open the door for a fantasy viable role in Year 2: lose his name for the final two weeks of this season, but don’t lose track of the profile as you start the prep process for 2026.
