Alvin Kamara vs Bhayshul Tuten: Who Should You Start?

If you are choosing between Alvin Kamara and Bhayshul Tuten for your lineup, you are not alone. Alvin Kamara finished the 2025 season at 7.7 PPG for the New Orleans Saints (11 games), and Bhayshul Tuten averaged 5.6 for the Jacksonville Jaguars (15 games).

That 2.1-point weekly advantage for Alvin Kamara is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.

Both profile as early-down workhorses. Alvin Kamara ran for 471 yards and 1 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.

Both share a Week 12 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking running backs this deep on your bench, plan your replacement running back early.

The Bottom Line

The 2025 numbers favor Alvin Kamara at 7.7 PPG, 2.1 points per game above Bhayshul Tuten's 5.6. But season stats only tell part of the story. DraftCall's AI factors in weekly matchup, recent form, and injury status to give you a verdict that updates with the latest data.
