Chris Rodriguez Jr. - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Practices on limited basis Rodriguez (hand) was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Impact While Rodriguez fit some work in on Wednesday, fellow RB Bhayshul Tuten (ankle/foot) was listed as a 'DNP' by the Jaguars. The duo's status is thus work monitoring closely in the coming days, but if Tuten ends up limited or out this weekend, Rodriguez -- if available -- and Ameer Abdullah would be next up for the team's backfield touches Sunday against the Titans.

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.

Impact 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 has now scored in back-to-back games heading into a Week 10 road matchup against the Titans on Sunday, Nov. 15.

No Week 9 injury designation Rodriguez (hand) doesn't carry an injury designation for Thursday' night's game against the Ravens.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in Tuesday's practice Rodriguez (hand) was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.

Impact With Jacksonville playing Thursday against Baltimore, Rodriguez has one more chance to improve his standing ahead of the Week 9 matchup. His practice status is still worth monitoring given his role in the backfield.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Tending to hand injury Rodriguez was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate due to a hand injury.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

Minimal output again in Week 2 Rodriguez rushed six times for 13 yards in the Jaguars' 20-13 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

Impact 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.

Handles six carries in Week 1 win Rodriguez rushed six times for 23 yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Browns.

Impact Bhayshul Tuten got the start in the backfield and out-snapped Rodriguez 28 to 23 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.
