Fantasy Football Player Notes

In last week's cinematic flop on Thursday Night, Tuten had his worst fantasy outing of the year. Ironically, there are lots of positives to take away for Tuten after the blowout victory. Tuten was clearly the lead back once again for the Jags. However, after entering last week on the injury report, he was the first back pulled once the game was under control against Joe Fagnano and company. It would make sense that the coaching staff did not want to over work Tuten coming off injury in a game that they dominated. As a result, he was held to 12 carries for 29 yards while only playing 36% of snaps. Looking forward, the Jaguars are making a push and taking on the lifeless Titans team this week. The Titans are allowing the 11th most rushing yards per game. Every week, Tuten takes over this backfield a little more, making him an RB1 in Week 10 and beyond.

Chris Rodriguez is a viable flex option again this week. Rodriguez has 12 red zone carries this season while averaging 7.4 touches and 33 total yards. If he gets into the end zone this week, he could give you a comfy double-digit PPR points. Rodriguez has posted 2.20 yards after contact per attempt and an 18% missed tackle rate this season. The Titans' run defense has been giving. Over their last five games, they have allowed the sixth-highest explosive run rate, the fifth-highest rushing success rate, and the fifth-most yards before contact per attempt.
