Alexander Mattison or Bhayshul TutenWho should you draft or start in 2026 fantasy football?

DraftCall Analytics

It is nearly a coin flip, but lean Bhayshul Tuten over Alexander Mattison in 2026.

Bhayshul Tuten (5.6 PPG) and Alexander Mattison (5.3) finished 2025 separated by under a point per game. Both play running backs, so that per-game gap is the cleanest tiebreaker for a 2026 start or sit.

The Bottom Line

Statistically, Bhayshul Tuten and Alexander Mattison are interchangeable on a season-long basis. The 0.3-PPG gap is one broken play per game. For weekly start/sit calls, check opponent defense and recent form before defaulting to the name.

Low confidence: the production gap is narrow enough that weekly context matters more than the season line.

Fantasy Tiers

Alexander Mattison: Unranked RB. Bhayshul Tuten: Tier 6 (Deep League) RB (ranked #58 at the position). Among the top 50 running backs this season, Alexander Mattison is producing at 24% of elite pace and Bhayshul Tuten at 25%. Their per-game production is close enough that weekly matchup should dictate your start.

Alexander Mattison vs Bhayshul Tuten: The Full Breakdown

Alexander Mattison (5.3 PPG) and Bhayshul Tuten (5.6 PPG) produced nearly identical fantasy numbers in 2025. When two running backs are this close on a per-game basis, the weekly matchup matters more than the season-long resume. Alexander Mattison played 14 games for the Las Vegas Raiders; Bhayshul Tuten suited up 15 times for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

A 0.3-point per-game gap over a full season is essentially noise. It means one extra catch, one fewer target, or a single broken play away from flipping the script. For a weekly start/sit call between these two, matchup analysis matters far more than the season line.

Both profile as early-down workhorses. Alexander Mattison ran for 255 yards and 2 touchdowns; Bhayshul Tuten posted 307 and 5. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.

Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Alexander Mattison sits Week 10 while Bhayshul Tuten is off Week 7. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Alexander Mattison (age 27) is approaching the age where RB production historically drops. Sell-high window is open. Bhayshul Tuten (age 24) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds.
