Jaguars' Chris Rodriguez: Late rushing TD in win
Rodriguez rushed 10 times for 19 yards and a touchdown and brought in both targets for 13 yards in the Jaguars' 33-10 win over the Ravens on Thursday night.
Rodriguez finished with just two fewer carries than Bhayshul Tuten, who came into the game managing ankle and foot injuries and was able to log a relatively abbreviated workload thanks to game script. Both backs had plenty of trouble against Baltimore's stout run defense, but Rodriguez salvaged his fantasy night with a two-yard TD run just past the midway point of the fourth quarter. Rodriguez now has scored in back-to-back games heading into a Week 10 road matchup against the Titans on Sunday, Nov. 15.

Jaguars' Chris Rodriguez: No Week 9 injury designation
Rodriguez (hand) doesn't carry an injury designation for Thursday' night's game against the Ravens.
Meanwhile, Bhayshul Tuten (ankle/foot) has been deemed questionable for the contest after being listed as a 'DNP' on each of the Jaguars' injury reports, Monday through Wednesday. Given that Tuten has been the team's lead back this season, his playing status (and potential workload, if he's active Thursday) will provide valuable context related to the Week 9 fantasy prospects of Rodriguez, who would assume a larger backfield role versus Baltimore if Rodriguez ends up out or limited.

Jaguars' Chris Rodriguez: Limited in Tuesday's practice
Rodriguez (hand) was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.
Though he's been deemed a limited participant on both of the Jaguars' first two Week 9 practice reports, Rodriguez still looks to be in a better spot on the health front than Bhayshul Tuten (ankle/foot), who has yet to log any practice activity. If Tuten winds up being sidelined for Thursday's game in Baltimore, Rodriguez would be the favorite to lead the Jacksonville ground attack, provided he's not inhibited by his own hand injury.

Jaguars' Chris Rodriguez: Tending to hand injury
Rodriguez was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate due to a hand injury.
The Jaguars listed two running backs on their first Week 9 injury report, with No. 1 option Bhayshul Tuten (ankle/foot) going down as a non-participant. There's no telling if Tuten is in danger of missing Thursday's contest at Baltimore, but Rodriguez could be in line for more early down work if he's active and the former is inhibited or sidelined. On the season, Rodriguez is averaging 6.7 touches per game.

Jaguars' Chris Rodriguez: Reaches end zone in blowout win
Rodriguez registered 41 yards and a touchdown on six carries while reeling in his only target for 17 yards during Sunday's 42-7 win over the Colts.
Rodriguez was able to exceed 40 rushing yards for the second straight game after failing to do so in any of the team's first five contests of the year. Additionally, the running back slashed through the Colts' defense for a 26-yard touchdown in the third quarter, reaching the end zone for the third time this season. Rodriguez has now rushed 45 times for 209 yards and three scores while reeling in one of two targets for six yards over seven contests so far during the 2026 campaign.

Jaguars' Chris Rodriguez: Logs 11 carries in loss
Rodriguez rushed 11 times for 55 yards while failing to reel in his only target during Sunday's 34-31 loss to Houston.
Rodriguez led the team in rushing yards, out producing fellow running back Bhayshul Tuten's 39 yards on 12 carries. Although the two split the carries almost evenly, Tuten caught all four of his targets for 48 yards and two scores in the contest. Rodriguez has now compiled 168 yards on 39 carries while catching one pass for his yards over six contests to open the 2026 campaign.

Jaguars' Chris Rodriguez: Two rushes in win
Rodriguez rushed twice for five yards and caught his only target for six yards during Sunday's 19-17 win over Philadelphia.
Rodriguez was scarcely used in Week 5, logging his fewest carries in a game this season. Starting running back Bhayshul Tuten turned 22 carries into 72 yards, and he's clearly the preferred option over Rodriguez in the backfield, regardless of circumstance. Over five games this season, Rodriguez has rushed 28 times for 113 yards and two touchdowns while catching one pass for six yards.

Jaguars' Chris Rodriguez: Scores again in Week 4 win
Rodriguez rushed six times for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Bengals.
After a slow start to the season, Rodriguez has found the end zone in back-to-back games, this time scoring from 25 yards out for his longest run of the season. Rodriguez has handled exactly six carries in three of the four games and remains a total zero in the passing game with zero targets. He's the definition of a touchdown-or-bust fantasy bet playing behind Bhayshul Tuten.

Jaguars' Chris Rodriguez: Finds end zone in blowout win vs. NE
Rodriguez turned eight carries into 37 yards and a touchdown during the Jaguars' 35-6 win over the Patriots on Sunday.
Rodriguez made his way to the end zone for the first time this season on a five-yard rushing touchdown late in the third quarter to extend the Jaguars' lead to 28-3. The 2023 sixth-rounder played only 13 of 62 offensive snaps (21.0 percent), well behind Bhayshul Tuten (30) and just ahead of LeQuint Allen (eight). Rodriguez has 20 carries for 73 yards (3.7 YPC) and a score through three regular-season games, and he'll continue to operate as the backup option out of the backfield behind Tuten. The Jaguars hit the road for a Week 4 tilt against the Bengals.

Jaguars' Chris Rodriguez: Minimal output again in Week 2
Rodriguez rushed six times for 13 yards in the Jaguars' 20-13 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.
For the second straight game to open the season, Rodriguez operated as the clear RB2 for the Jaguars behind Bhayshul Tuten, who rushed 13 times for 65 yards and a touchdown as the lead back. Tuten also out-targeted Rodriguez two to zero. Through two games, Rodriguez has a meager 36 yards on 12 carries, averaging a pitiful 3.0 yards per carry. He's not usable in fantasy ahead of a tough Week 3 date with New England.

Jaguars' Chris Rodriguez: Handles six carries in Week 1 win
Rodriguez rushed six times for 23 yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Browns.
Bhayshul Tuten got the start and out-snapped Rodriguez by a 28-23 margin and out-carried him 15 to six in one of the friendliest rushing environments the Jaguars will see all season after Jacksonville jumped out to a 31-0 lead early in the third quarter. The lack of volume and production from Rodriguez in this spot is concerning for his fantasy viability moving forward, as Tuten seemed to have the clear upper hand and averaged 4.4 yards per carry to Rodriguez's 3.8 mark. Tuten also caught a 22-yard pass, while Rodriguez didn't see a target. It was clear against Cleveland that Tuten is the preferred fantasy option in this backfield.

Jaguars' Chris Rodriguez: Healthy ahead of Week 1
Rodriguez currently is one of two healthy running backs on the Jaguars' roster along with Ameer Abdullah due to health concerns for Bhayshul Tuten (illness) and LeQuint Allen (undisclosed).
Allen is the only one of the quartet whose status for Week 1 appears to be up in the air, but Rodriguez nonetheless is poised for a regular role in Jacksonville's offense. What kind of workload that entails remains to be seen, but Tuten is Rodriguez's primary competitor for touches. At least when it comes to short-yardage and goal-line usage, the more imposing Rodriguez likely will handle those after earning 33 carries inside the 20-yard line last season for the Commanders. The Jaguars' season opener against the Browns on Sunday, Sept. 13 ultimately will provide insight into what to expect from the duo.
