  - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Bhayshul Tuten
  - Verdict: not settled yet

## Who this take is about

- Bhayshul Tuten — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/bhayshul-tuten

## What others said about the same people

- Andrew Erickson on Bhayshul Tuten: Erickson's must-have targets round by round: Nico Collins in round one (1,500 receiving yards if healthy), Drake London as a top-five WR in round two, Omarion Hampton as the Chargers' bell cow in round three, Kenneth Walker as a top-five fantasy back in round four, plus Tetairoa McMillan, Jaylen Waddle, Ricky Pearsall, Jordan Mason, Tucker Kraft, Drake Maye and a set of late-round fliers. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/58b6b85b-eacc-4bf3-a205-bcc403d81bc2 (scored 0)
- Chris Raybon on Bhayshul Tuten: Raybon's biggest offseason move is Liam Coen to Jacksonville, and he expects nearly every Jaguars fantasy piece to beat their draft cost — Trevor Lawrence as a QB12-type, rookie Bhayshul Tuten as the team's eventual lead back, Brian Thomas Jr. with WR1-overall upside and Brenton Strange as value. He also expects mild regression for Baker Mayfield without Coen (still a top-six fantasy QB), likes Omarion Hampton, Treveon Henderson, Stefon Diggs, Rhamondre Stevenson, Matthew Golden, Jayden Reed and Jordan Love, and thinks Najee Harris slips to RB3 territory. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/8ce155d5-152d-4837-a3d4-de50bd0df442 (scored 0)
- Kyle Crabbs on Bhayshul Tuten: Crabbs projects all seven rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft, starting with Cam Ward going No. 1 overall to Tennessee, Travis Hunter second to Cleveland and Abdul Carter third to the Giants. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/e8a40874-e85c-44ec-a4c8-b6f0edbd22d2 (scored 20.13)
- John Shipley on Bhayshul Tuten: Shipley expects second-year back LeQuint Allen, healthy and with no injury designation, to play and take on a substantially larger role — particularly on passing downs — in the Jaguars' Week 2 game at Denver. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/7bc24f62-d81f-4ff7-a0f0-f1bc4daa660b (not settled)
- John Shipley on Bhayshul Tuten: Shipley concludes from Week 1 snap counts that Bhayshul Tuten is the Jaguars' lead running back ahead of Chris Rodriguez Jr., with his stock rising. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/516ad198-7e85-4b32-a122-6d4a50c06f7a (not settled)
- Dan Beyer on Bhayshul Tuten: Beyer predicted double-digit touchdowns again for Kyren Williams, and said Jadarian Price will be Seattle's primary back early in the season while Tuten holds the edge in Jacksonville's backfield split. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/1c176fa1-0874-4a91-8b84-ca0bade1ac67 (not settled)
