Antonio Gibson vs Bhayshul TutenWho should you start in 2026 fantasy football?

Antonio Gibson is the better fantasy start for 2026, averaging 7.9 PPG to Bhayshul Tuten's 5.6 in 2025. Full head to head breakdown below.

The Bottom Line

Antonio Gibson is the better fantasy play this season.

Antonio Gibson has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 2.3-PPG advantage is real (7.9 to 5.6), and Antonio Gibson's 4 touchdowns show scoring upside. Bhayshul Tuten is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Moderate confidence: stats favor the leader, but matchup variance could flip this weekly.

Fantasy Tiers

Antonio Gibson: Tier 5 (Deep League) RB (ranked #99 at the position). Bhayshul Tuten: Tier 5 (Deep League) RB (ranked #58 at the position). Among the top 50 running backs this season, Antonio Gibson is producing at 36% of elite pace and Bhayshul Tuten at 25%. That ranking gap means Bhayshul Tuten carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Antonio Gibson vs Bhayshul Tuten: The Full Breakdown

Antonio Gibson and Bhayshul Tuten are both viable fantasy running backs heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Antonio Gibson averaged 7.9 PPG across 15 games with the New England Patriots, while Bhayshul Tuten posted 5.6 PPG in 15 appearances for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

A 2.3-PPG gap gives Antonio Gibson the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.

Both profile as early-down workhorses. Antonio Gibson ran for 548 yards and 3 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.

Antonio Gibson has his bye in Week 14, and Bhayshul Tuten rests in Week 7. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at running back for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.

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: Antonio Gibson (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.
