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.

Jaguars' Chris Rodriguez: Lauded in camp for power running
Rodriguez has drawn positive reviews for his power-running style during training camp, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
Signed to a two-year, $10 million deal in March, Rodriguez made a full recovery from offseason foot surgery in advance of training camp and has been listed as co-starter with Bhayshul Tuten on the Jaguars' unofficial depth chart. With both Rodriguez and Tuten sitting out Jacksonville's first two preseason contests, it's been difficult to gauge how the snaps might be divvied up between the two once the regular season gets underway. While Rodriguez has lived up to his billing in camp as a bruising runner between the tackles, Shipley relays that Tuten "has done nothing to diminish the early-offseason hype." With that in mind, both players appear likely to have meaningful roles in the running game Week 1 versus the Browns, and the two also could see more involvement on passing downs if LeQuint Allen (undisclosed) isn't available. Shipley opines that Rodriguez is probably the Jaguars' best pass-blocking back other than Allen, though Rodriguez could play second fiddle to the shiftier Tuten when it comes to earning targets.

Jaguars' Chris Rodriguez: Deemed co-starter on unofficial depth chart
Bhayshul Tuten and Rodriguez are listed as co-starters on the Jaguars' initial unofficial depth chart, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.
While preseason depth charts posted by NFL teams tend to be unreliable as projections for Week 1, this listing isn't unexpected. The Jaguars seem to be trending toward employing a committee approach to fill the void created by the offseason departure of Travis Etienne, with LeQuint Allen potentially mixing in on third downs as well. In that context, Rodriguez could see enough touches out of the gate this season to merit fantasy consideration.
