  "account": "The Jacksonville Jaguars have named Chris Rodriguez and Bhayshul Tuten as co-starters for their 2026 fantasy football season. This has raised concerns among fantasy football managers, as Tuten has been a popular sleeper pick in recent drafts. Tuten is an explosive second-year running back who took over the lead role from Travis Etienne Jr., who had a breakout year in 2025. However, Rodriguez, who played collegiately at Kentucky, is listed as one of the team's top draft picks and is expected to get a significant amount of playing time.\n\nRodriguez signed a two-year, $10 million deal with the Jaguars, indicating that the team will feature him prominently in the offense. While he lacks top-end speed and agility, Rodriguez possesses good vision and runs hard, making him a coach's favorite. Despite these qualities, it's unlikely that Rodriguez will be a fantasy-relevant player, as he will likely only get a few carries per game and be limited to a FLEX role.\n\nOn the other hand, Tuten appears to be a much more promising fantasy football prospect. As a co-starter, Tuten will likely receive more touches than Rodriguez, and his skills make him well-suited to handle the workload. Tuten is an electric runner in the open field, with a 4.32 speed rating, and showed his ability to make plays in the passing game last year. With Trevor Lawrence and Liam Coen forming a dynamic quarterback-coach duo, Tuten will be part of a high-powered offense and is worthy of fantasy RB2 status.",
