2026 Season Outlook

sleeper-outlookMay 18, 2026, 9:00 AM+4 stories · 30dSource unavailable

Although Allen can probably offer a little more from scrimmage than he showed in his 2025 rookie season, the fact is the seventh-round pick out of Syracuse did little more for the Jaguars than return kicks and pickup the blitz. On 258 snaps Allen produced just 148 yards from scrimmage, which means his role needs to change before he has any realistic chance of producing from scrimmage. Allen can definitely do more as a pass catcher at the very least -- perhaps Allen can get more targets per snap if Bhayshul Tuten falters with the pass-catching looks that free-agent departure Travis Etienne otherwise claimed in 2025 -- but as a pure runner it's unlikely that Allen puts much heat on Tuten or free-agent pickup Chris Rodriguez

Chris Rodriguez Jr. a Dynasty Sleeper with High Touchdown Potential

Chris Rodriguez Travis Etienne Bhayshul Tuten

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. signed a two-year, $10 million deal in the opening days of free agency to reunite with head coach Liam Coen, who coached the offense for one year at Kentucky during Rodriguez's most productive collegiate season. With the departure of Travis Etienne Jr. opening up more than 300 opportunities from 2025, the expectation is that Rodriguez will split time with 2025 fourth-round pick Bhayshul Tuten at the top of a running back committee. Having never seen more than four targets in a season, Rodriguez will likely leave the bulk of the receiving work to Tuten and LeQuint Allen Jr., with contributions from Ameer Abdullah, but he should still find fantasy value through early down and goal line work. Last season, in a similarly ambiguous backfield in Washington, Rodriguez led the team in red zone and goal line carries, despite missing four games with a handful of injuries and ailments. His six touchdowns from Week 7 on helped to make him the team's most fantasy-relevant running back over the second half of the season. With Jacksonville's offense clicking immediately in year one under Coen, the Jaguars saw 109 total carries from within the 20-yard line to Washington's 89, with Etienne personally responsible for nearly half. At 26 years old and slotting in at RotoBaller's dynasty RB46, Rodriguez has legitimate sleeper potential as a back who could find plenty of scoring opportunities in an offense that again projects to spend a lot of time in plus territory

LeQuint Allen Jr. a Steady Dynasty Riser During Quiet Jaguars Offseason

sleeper-rotoballerMay 12, 2026, 5:37 AM+4 stories · 30dSource ↗

LeQuint Allen Bhayshul Tuten Travis Etienne

Jacksonville Jaguars running back LeQuint Allen Jr. was on the field a surprising amount for a seventh-round rookie, with his superior pass blocking leading to more offensive snaps than his fourth-round teammate Bhayshul Tuten. While his opportunities were still limited, touching the ball only 33 times in year one, the path to a larger workload is there for 2026. With the Jaguars saying goodbye to Travis Etienne Jr. in free agency, the backfield is set to be turned over to the two youngsters and free agent acquisition Chris Rodriguez Jr. Having seen more than 160 targets across his last three seasons in Jacksonville, Etienne's absence creates a major vacuum in the passing game, and while Allen made only 10 catches as a rookie, that's four more than Rodriguez has accumulated in his three-year career. After leaving Syracuse as arguably the most accomplished receiving back in a loaded 2025 draft class, Allen could handle the primary pass-catching duties in what profiles to be a high-powered Liam Coen offense. At RotoBaller's dynasty RB90, he's seen his value steadily rise throughout the offseason, but given the fantasy-friendly opportunity that could be in front of him, it's possible Allen is still being severely undervalued

Chris Rodriguez Jr. to Lead the Jaguars in Carries?

sleeper-rotoballerApr 30, 2026, 11:04 AM+3 stories · 30dSource ↗

Chris Rodriguez Bhayshul Tuten LeQuint Allen

Chris Rodriguez Jr. is projected by John Shipley of Sports Illustrated to lead the Jacksonville Jaguars in carries this season, potentially ahead of Bhayshul Tuten. Rodriguez, who signed a two-year, $10 million deal, averaged 4.6 yards per carry with the Commanders and has familiarity with head coach Liam Coen. While Tuten has explosive potential, the Jaguars also value Rodriguez's inside running ability. Both players are expected to be flex options if their workloads are split

Can LeQuint Allen Jr. Survive the NFL Draft to See an Expanded Role in Year 2?

sleeper-rotoballerApr 23, 2026, 6:07 AM+4 stories · 30dSource ↗

LeQuint Allen

Jacksonville Jaguars running back LeQuint Allen Jr. handled only 33 touches as a seventh-round rookie in 2025, but he found the field with regularity for what he offered as a pass protector. Among qualified halfbacks, only Denver's Tyler Badie had a better pass blocking grade according to PFF, and it was actually Allen, and not the more highly touted Bhayshul Tuten, who saw the team's second-most total running back snaps behind the recently departed Travis Etienne Jr. Jacksonville signed Chris Rodriguez Jr. to a two-year, $10 million deal, but he profiles more as a between the tackles plodder whose four targets and three receptions in 2025 both marked career highs. While Rodriguez will have an obvious role on early downs and near the goal line, Etienne's 47 vacated targets will likely be divvied up between Allen and Tuten, and with the former coming into the league with one of the best receiving profiles in a loaded 2025 rookie running back class, it would stand to reason that he can turn the trust he's already earned from his coaches into an expanded role in the passing game. Where things could get interesting is in this week's NFL Draft, where the Jaguars hold 11 picks and could still consider running back a top need. While the position does not profile as a strength of this draft class, Allen's positioning in the room is already tenuous as a late-round pick himself, and any selection at the position could block his path to even the minor breakout some are calling for

Chris Rodriguez Travis Etienne Bhayshul Tuten

The Jaguars signed Chris Rodriguez Jr. to a two-year, $10 million deal to replace Travis Etienne Jr. in the backfield. Rodriguez will compete with Bhayshul Tuten for the lead-back role, with LeQuint Allen also expected to see volume. Rodriguez's fantasy ceiling is projected as a mid-range RB2, offering RB3/flex value with RB2 upside if he wins the starting job
