Tuten went off against the Colts with 104 rushing yards, 55 receiving yards and two touchdowns. That's the kind of production fantasy owners dream about, but his injury situation makes things tricky heading into the next game.
Jacksonville listed him as questionable after three missed practices. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler later reported that Tuten was expected to play barring a pregame setback. That's encouraging, but I'm not sure I'd automatically pencil him into the starting lineup without knowing whether he'll get his usual workload.
Fantasy owners, are you trusting Tuten this week, or playing it safe and keeping him on the bench?
Bhayshul Tuten Scores Early, Then Disappears Against Baltimore. Should Fantasy Owners Be Worried?
Tuten opened the scoring with a one-yard touchdown run, but that was pretty much the highlight of his night. He finished with just 29 rushing yards on 12 carries and wasn't targeted once in the passing game. Jacksonville cruised to a 33-10 victory, but Chris Rodriguez Jr. also found the end zone, and Ameer Abdullah got involved in the backfield. Maybe Jacksonville was simply being careful with Tuten after his ankle and foot problems, especially with the game getting out of hand. Still, fantasy owners have to wonder whether his workload is going to be reliable going forward.
Are you still trusting Tuten as a fantasy starter, or has last night's performance made you reconsider?
