Jacksonville goes into Cincinnati with Tuten 18th among running backs in PFN’s Week 4 rankings, riding consecutive games with a score and three straight with a 15-plus-yard gain. This was labeled a committee entering the season, and while two players are getting work, the hierarchy is very defined, which keeps him in the RB2 conversation until proven otherwise. The Jags ran 24 times for 126 yards in Cincinnati last season, and Jaylen Warren’s 176 yards on 20 touches showed again last week how a team can control pace against the Bengals. I expect Jacksonville to dictate this one in a similar way, and I like getting a little creative with Tuten.
Should You Start or Sit Bhayshul Tuten in Week 4?
That’s consecutive weeks with a score and three straight with a 15-plus-yard gain. Entering this season, the Jacksonville one was labeled as a committee, and while there are two players getting work, there is a very defined hierarchy here, and that puts Tuten firmly in the RB2 conversation week in and week out until proven otherwise.

In Week 2 last season, the Jags walked into Cincinnati and ran 24 times for 126 yards (Travis Etienne led the way and had the splash play, but Tuten carried eight times for 42 yards and added an 8-yard touchdown reception). Jaylen Warren (176 yards on 20 touches) allowed the Steelers to control pace against the Bengals last week, and I expect the Jags to dictate this game in a similar way.
There are going to be a handful of popular DFS pieces in this game … I like the idea of getting a little creative and going with Tuten in this spot.
