Jaguars RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. earns pass‑protection reps over Bhayshul Tuten, while injured LeQuint Allen Jr. leaves a void in the passing game
Drops: LeQuint Allen
Chris Rodriguez Jr. is showing power running ability in Jaguars training camp and may earn a key role in their backfield. He is listed as a co-starter with Bhayshul Tuten and could be valuable for goal-line touches and pass-blocking. Rodriguez is currently ranked RB39, while Tuten is RB26
The Jaguars announced that Allen sustained a soft-tissue injury Monday that will keep him out for the remainder of training camp, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports. Visit RotoWire.com for more analysis on this update
Sleeper status change for LeQuint Allen (12544). Before: status=Active, injury_status=—. After: status=Active, injury_status=Questionable
Jacksonville Jaguars undrafted rookie running back J'Mari Taylor was a main contributor in a 24-20 win over the New Orleans Saints in the preseason opener on Saturday. He finished with 22 carries for 78 yards and a touchdown, which ended up as the game-winning score for the Jaguars. He also ran in a two-point conversion. Taylor has lots of competition in the running back room, so it's doubtful he is worth consideration in redraft anytime soon, but this promising performance should draw the eyes of dynasty managers. Veteran DeeJay Dallas was also involved in the rushing attack but had a much less efficient 2.6 yards per carry on 10 carries. The clear top three running backs of Bhayshul Tuten, Chris Rodriguez Jr., and LeQuint Allen Jr. surely will make the roster, but as of now, it seems Taylor is the favorite if Liam Coen decides to keep four backs on the roster. He is worth taxi consideration in dynasty leagues for now
Chris Rodriguez Jr. is getting plenty of work with the first-team offense, making him a promising option for the Jacksonville Jaguars
Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said last month that the team is expecting running back Bhayshul Tuten to have a big year for them, but Tuten has not nailed down the top spot on the depth chart. The team released its first depth chart of the year and it shows Tuten or Chris Rodriguez listed in the No. 1 spot in the backfield. Tuten is in his second year with the Jaguars while Rodriguez signed with the team as a free agent this offseason. Le’Quint Allen, Ameer Abdullah, DeeJay Dallas, and J’Mari Taylor make up the rest of the running back group. The Jaguars have one other position with a pair of players listed at the top. Ventrell Miller and Branson Combs are joined at one of the team’s linebacker spots

Hard to believe that NFL training camps are already underway . It still feels like summer but of course football starting usually signals that it's almost time for fall. The Cardinals and Panthers opened camps on Wednesday, the Patriots and Seahawks report on Friday, and soon each NFL team will be prepping for preseason, too. Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2026 NFL season For fantasy football, we're going to get an influx of news that will dictate how we approach drafts and ADP in August. Throughout training camp and preseason, we'll be rounding up all the most important headlines you need to know for fantasy. The Nabers injury saga has been the top news story of the offseason, being monitored by fantasy managers closely. The latest as Giants training camp gets underway is Nabers not headed for the PUP list initially, per ESPN . This is a great first step in his quest to be ready for Week 1. Things can change and the Giants could opt to place Nabers on the list at a later date in camp, depending on how he looks. It also doesn’t mean Nabers will be back at practice immediately. New York opens camp next week on July 28 in West Virginia. We’ll of course be keeping an eye on Nabers’ return to practice and his progress throughout camp. Expect his ADP to fluctuate as we head into draft season. Right now, Nabers sits as the WR24 on Yahoo early ADP due to the concern he won’t be ready for the start of the season. As if the Tuten hype train didn't already have enough steam … get ready to hear his name plenty as we head into draft season. The Jaguars lost Travis Etienne Jr. to the Saints in free agency, opening the door for Tuten to slide in and be the RB1. Jacksonville also brought in Chris Rodriguez Jr. , and LeQuint Allen Jr. is expected to play a role. But head coach Liam Coen is already telling reporters that Tuten had a "really good spring" and the back "does a great job of finding the end zone" . Both those sentiments bode well for Tuten flying up draft boards so long as he keeps it up at camp and into preseason. Yahoo analyst Justin Boone goes over the Jags' backfield battle a bit more here . The Seahawks officially placed the running back on the PUP list to begin 2026 , meaning Charb will miss a minimum of four games to start the year. This was an expected move and we anticipate Charbonnet returning at some point in the middle of the campaign. Seattle head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters last month that Charbonnet is "doing a great job" in his recovery. For now, we'll be monitoring the Seahawks' RB battle between rookie Jadarian Price and journeymen Emanuel Wilson and George Holani . More from Boone on that situation here . Brissett is seeking a new contract but reported to camp on Wednesday and won't be holding out, it seems. Arizona also signed rookie QB Carson Beck to his contract this week. Brissett should be the starting QB for the Cards in Week 1 but there will be some competition between him, Beck and veteran Gardner Minshew . The two sides did have “productive” talks, per new head coach Mike LaFleur. This is still a situation to monitor. There's a scenario where Beck (or even Minshew) outplays Brissett and Arizona decides not to pay the latter. It's unlikely, but plausible. In any case, Brissett has some built-in chemistry with TE Trey McBride and WR Michael Wilson from last season. But everyone is learning a new offense under LaFleur. If Tuten is going to be the most talked about RB throughout camp for fantasy, Brooks may come in as a close second. A second-rounder in 2024, Brooks has suffered multiple torn ACLs starting in his last season of college and he missed all of last season with another one. He appears to be healthy and is already being hyped up by head coach Dave Canales. Here's a clip from Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network talking a bit about Brooks and WR Tetairoa McMillan: Brooks should get plenty of reps along with RB Chuba Hubbard, who should start the season as the le [... truncated ...]
The Jacksonville Jaguars may have the most crowded and confusing offense for fantasy football heading into 2026. We know the receiving corps goes four players deep and then there's TE Brenton Strange. Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2026 NFL season At running back, Travis Etienne Jr. bounced back under Liam Coen last season, but has left for the New Orleans Saints. That leaves second-year RB Bhayshul Tuten, veteran Chris Rodriguez Jr. and LeQuint Allen Jr. as the three backs left to duke it out for carries this season. Tuten showed a lot of promise as a rookie spelling Etienne, rushing 83 times for 307 yards and five TDs while adding 10 catches for 79 yards and two more scores. The consensus is that Tuten should lead the backfield. Matt Harmon and Justin Boone go deeper into the subject on the latest episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast. Boone still believes that Tuten has a lot to prove and isn't the sure-fire RB1 for Jacksonville quite yet. But if we start to hear positive reports out of training camp on Tuten, that should raise his fantasy stock, per Boone. Plus, Rodriguez is dealing with an injury that may hold him out early in camp. If that lingers, it's even better for Tuten's prospects. All of that could lead to Tuten's ADP rising. As of now in early Yahoo drafts, Tuten's going off the board as the RB23. Boone has the Jags' back ranked just below that at RB24 in his July rankings update . The analyst says that ranking could change if Tuten's ADP continues to rise. Harmon wishes nothing but the best for Tuten but states that his price as the RB24 is perfect. Harmon doesn't want his stock to rise up to the RB18-19 range in which the value gets hurt a bit. For that reason, Harmon is still buying Tuten because he's a good breakout candidate for fantasy in 2026
2026 NFL training camps are about to kick off around the league, turning America’s attention back from fútbol to football. Travis and I will be out at the Miller Electric Center throughout the next few weeks to report back on your Jacksonville Jaguars. While he monitors several positional battles , I’ll be keeping an eye on two players in particular. Jacksonville’s skill player lineup for 11 personnel (1 RB, 1 TE, 3 WRs) looks impressive on paper. The starting receivers will be Brian Thomas Jr. , Parker Washington , and Jakobi Meyers ; the top tight end will be Brenton Strange ; and the lead running back role will rotate between Bhayshul Tuten , Chris Rodriguez Jr. , and LeQuint Allen Jr. The Jaguars are equipped for lighter packages as well. 10 personnel (1 RB, 0 TEs, 4 WRs) would allow Travis Hunter to play alongside those aforementioned wideouts, while 21 personnel (2 RBs, 1 TE, 2 WRs) — specifically, “pony” packages that field two receiving-capable backs as opposed to a tailback and a fullback — is another potential wrinkle to create schematic advantages. But what about when the offense wants to put heavier bodies on the field? Liam Coen could experiment with jumbo packages that add an extra offensive lineman to the equation, as he did on 108 snaps (sixth-most in the NFL) in his first year as Jaguars head coach. But that was more so a necessity than a luxury. About halfway through the 2025 season, Strange was placed on injured reserve, Hunter Long and Quintin Morris missed five combined games, and Johnny Mundt was at one point a healthy scratch. A lack of tight end availability gave way to more jumbo package opportunities. Plays with extra offensive linemen will still be part of Coen’s offense, but he’ll want to scale back those looks in favor of ones with multiple tight ends. The return of 12 personnel (1 RB, 2 TEs, 2 WRs) and 13 personnel (1 RB, 3 TEs, 1 WR) to a league ruled by three-receiver sets is perhaps the top schematic story of this offseason. Jacksonville re-signed Morris before selecting two tight ends, Nate Boerkircher and Tanner Koziol, in a draft that saw 22 tight ends in total go off the board (most since 2002). As a nearly-25-year-old prospect with just 38 career receptions, the selection of Boerkircher at No. 56 overall originally caught observers off guard. He’s an intriguing athlete, sure, but a near-top-50 selection? For someone who projects to be a No. 2 tight end? Really? Really. The Jags liked Morris enough to bring him back, and Long is still on the roster, but they’re hoping to see Boerkircher earn a Week 1 role as a complementary piece to Strange. During OTAs in June, Coen hinted toward a larger receiving workload for his top tight end so long as Boerkircher can hold up as a blocker. “As much as man, we love Brenton Strange blocking and he’s so tough, he wants to do it, he’s physical, he’ll bite you. He also missed some time last year … when you look at when he has production what our record looks like, it’s kind of interesting to see. And so, allowing Brenton to continue to do what he does well, but also to maybe take some of that wear and tear, some of the pounding that it takes when you’re blocking the Travon Walkers of the world and Josh Hines-Allens of the world, getting him matched up more on those linebackers and safeties and now he’s an advantage for us. Now we have an edge. So, we always feel good about Strange blocking at the point of attack, but we needed some help there. Being able to provide Strange an option to go maybe split out or go block other people that maybe keep him out of some of those one-on-one big situations, I think that’s going to help us tremendously.” I’m prepared to be underwhelmed by Boerkircher’s impact in the pass game for the duration of his rookie season. However, if he can hold his own in the trenches as early as training camp, I’ll feel much more comfortable about the flexibility of Coen’s offense entering the 2026 season.

As NFL training camps approach, fantasy football analysts are focusing on key running back battles, including those in Jacksonville and Seattle, and the role of Jonathon Brooks. In Jacksonville, Chris Rodriguez Jr.'s recovery from foot surgery may open the door for Bhayshul Tuten, who has impressed coaches with his development and is expected to have a significant role. Rodriguez is likely to be an early-down back, while LeQuint Allen Jr. offers receiving upside but lacks rushing prowess. Tuten, with his explosiveness and touchdown ability, is considered the most enticing fantasy option in the Jaguars backfield
When Jaguars head coach Liam Coen was discussing the team’s offensive backfield during their offseason program, he called the competition for playing time at running back “truly wide open” between Chris Rodriguez, Bhayshul Tuten and LeQuint Allen. Now that training camp is about to start, Coen seems to be focusing in on one back’s upside. Tuten was a fourth-round pick out of Virginia Tech last year, but he began his college time at North Carolina A&T and Coen said on The Schrager Hour podcast that he faced “a little bit of a learning curve” when it came to all the facets of playing in the NFL. Tuten now has a year under his belt and no longer has Travis Etienne ahead of him, which has Coen looking for a major leap forward this fall. “He does a great job of finding the end zone and his yards after contact and rushing yards, man — when he can get going and get downhill, I mean, he was 4.28 coming out. So he can fly,” Coen said. “Now it’s more so, he was so conscientious about ball security last year and doing right. Okay, now Tuten, you got it. You understand it more. Now just go be you. Go do what got you here. Go be special, that’s who you are. We’re definitely expecting Tuten to have a big year for us.” The Jaguars exceeded expectations by winning 13 games last season, including nine of their last 10 in the regular season. That sets a higher bar for this year and Tuten making good on Coen’s prediction would help position them to stay among the contenders in the AFC
Jacksonville Jaguars running back LeQuint Allen Jr. does not need a huge rushing role to become useful, but there is not enough here yet to call him a redraft sleeper. He played 259 offensive snaps as a rookie, 44 more than Bhayshul Tuten, even though Allen handled only 33 touches. Jacksonville trusted him in pass protection, and that may be his quickest route back onto the field. He also caught 64 passes for 521 yards and four touchdowns during his final season at Syracuse, so the passing-down fit is not difficult to see. The rest of the backfield complicates things. Tuten is the favorite to lead the group, Chris Rodriguez Jr. should compete for early-down and short-yardage work, and veteran Ameer Abdullah gives Jacksonville another option. Allen could carve out a weekly role without seeing enough touches to help most fantasy managers. RotoBaller ranks him RB80 in redraft, leaving him outside the standard-league draft pool for now. Deeper dynasty leagues are different. Allen is only 21, catches the ball well, and has already earned the coaching staff's trust in an area that keeps young running backs on the field. He is worth holding while Jacksonville sorts out the backfield, but redraft managers can wait
A weekly roundup of Jacksonville Jaguars player highlights from X/Twitter, featuring Trevor Lawrence at the American Century Championship, Josh Hines-Allen's London memory, and other players like Branson Combs, Travis Hunter, Cam Little, and LeQuint Allen
A seventh-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Jacksonville Jaguars running back LeQuint Allen Jr. recorded 148 scrimmage yards on 33 touches across 17 games as a rookie. Even in a backfield that also featured running backs Travis Etienne Jr. and Bhayshul Tuten, Allen Jr. carved out a semi-regular role as a passing-downs back. Entering 2026, Jacksonville's backfield no longer features Etienne Jr., who departed the team in free agency. Allen Jr. may still be blocked from fantasy-relevant playing time, as Tuten is expected to assume the Jaguars RB1 role and Jacksonville also brought in former Washington Commanders back Chris Rodriguez Jr. (foot). Still, Allen Jr. may have a chance to expand his role in the Jaguars offense, especially as a receiver out of the backfield. In his final collegiate season at Syracuse in 2024, Allen Jr. recorded 64 catches for 521 yards and four touchdowns across 13 games. In deeper dynasty leagues, Allen Jr. could be a worthy buy-low/stash candidate
