Should You Start or Sit Bhayshul Tuten in Week 3?
There were whispers this preseason about the readiness of Bhayshul Tuten and Adam Schefter reported Sunday that his expectation was for the rookie to be given extended run sooner than later.
Sure enough, he saw valuable snaps on Sunday and found the end zone on a screen pass. After scoring that touchdown, he and Travis Etienne had split 10 touches and while the starter distanced himself as the game wore on, there’s no denying that Liam Coen is interested in the immediate impact that the fourth rounder can have.
No, he’s not a flex worthy option right now, but he should be rostered in far more leagues than he is.
