Bhayshul Tuten to "Immediately Push" for Snaps?

What They're Saying

Here’s the full quote from Howe via The Athletic:

“Tuten should immediately push starter Travis Etienne (playing on his fifth-year option) for snaps, possibly in a similar way to how Bucky Irving jumped Rachaad White with [OC] Liam Coen’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2024. 

Tuten has explosive quickness and he’s dangerous in space. Coen is as good as any play caller in the league at scheming up mismatches, particularly out of the backfield, so Tuten has very intriguing upside in the Jacksonville offense.”

Dynasty Impact

Travis Etienne is only under contract for one more season. Tank Bigsby's rookie contract runs through the 2026 season, but there's no guarantee he sticks that long with a new staff in town.

At a minimum, Tuten appears likely to handle a small role in 2025. In a best-case scenario, he takes over as the lead back by late '25 and holds the role into the following season.

Tuten joins the Jaguars at an exciting time. New HC Liam Coen brings a resume that helps forecast improvement from QB Trevor Lawrence. Plus, a WR duo of Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter could rank among the league's best as soon as this fall.
