The Jacksonville Jaguars (3-1) will host the Kansas City Chiefs (2-2) in Week 5. 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 5?
It won’t show up in the box score of a standard league, but Bhayshul Tuten’s 54-yard kick return toward the end of the first half is the type of thing that earns brownie points with the coaching staff.
I’ve largely been impressed with the rookie, but that doesn’t matter. I can like the film and profile as much as I want, the role isn’t changing until Travis Etienne lets it happen.
Jacksonville’s starting back continues to rip off big plays, thus making it difficult to justify taking him off the field. Tuten has yet to play 26% of the offensive snaps in a game this season and recorded one touch for every four that Etienne got last weekend against the 49ers.
He’s a fun roster stash that the coaching staff clearly likes.
He’s also nothing more than a handcuff RB who only holds contingent value until otherwise noted.
