Bhayshul Tuten Set to Lead Backfield Against Cleveland While Battling Questionable Tag

Tuten is slated to lead the Jacksonville backfield after securing the primary running back job ahead of Chris Rodriguez Jr. this preseason, but an ongoing illness has him listed as questionable. Because he has been dealing with the ailment since early September, fantasy managers should check back often for the latest news and active status updates before setting their lineups.

If cleared to play, he brings dependable volume into a matchup with Cleveland, where our weekly projections forecast around 13 carries for 54 rushing yards, a couple of receptions, and roughly 12 fantasy points. Rosterable in 100% of leagues with a 73% start rate, he stands as a solid RB2 or flex option if active.

Outlook James Cook

James Cook Anchors Buffalo's Backfield with High-End RB1 Upside

Entering the season fully healthy as Buffalo's clear lead back ahead of Ray Davis, Cook remains the engine of the Bills' ground attack. With backfield mate Ty Johnson nursing a leg injury, Cook is positioned for heavy touch volume on early downs while remaining active as a receiver.

Started across all fantasy formats, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups as an elite option. Our weekly projection expects around 16 carries for 82 rushing yards and nearly 18 fantasy points, offering a dependable floor and high ceiling in Buffalo's potent offense.
