As you put together your Week 2 fantasy football lineups, don't forget about Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten.
PFF's Nathan Jahnke went through his starts and sits for the upcoming week, and behind the Raiders' Ashton Jeanty, Tuten was listed as a starting option at the running back position.
"Tuten showcased rookie efficiency with strong yards-after-contact, first-down and avoided-tackle rates, and his poor yards-before-contact mark points to bad run-blocking rather than his own play. The concern is volume," Jahnke wrote.
Tuten had a strong performance last week, averaging 4.4 yards per rush on 15 carries, while doing so against a stout Browns' defensive front.
The run-blocking of the Jaguars' offensive line unit was one of the question
marks heading into this season, but that unit performed well in Week 1. Tuten's ability to make defenders miss is a key element of his game.
That said, as Jahnke noted, an unknown with Tuten is what his workload will look like from week to week. Against Cleveland, he had 15 carries to Chris Rodriguez's six, but the expectation is that the Jaguars will take a committee approach in the backfield, which could obviously impact fantasy football scoring.
"Similar to Jeanty, unless you drafted a third running back around the same time you added Tuten who is in a more predictable situation, it makes sense to start Tuten over several other running backs who are also in rotational roles," wrote Jahnke.
Parker Washington was also named the "start of the week" over at NFL.com.
