Audric Estimé vs Bhayshul Tuten: The Full Breakdown

If you are choosing between Audric Estimé and Bhayshul Tuten for your lineup, you are not alone. Audric Estimé finished the 2025 season at 8.4 PPG for the New Orleans Saints (5 games), and Bhayshul Tuten averaged 5.6 for the Jacksonville Jaguars (15 games).

That 2.8-point weekly advantage for Audric Estimé 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. Audric Estimé ran for 198 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.

One scheduling note: Audric Estimé is off Week 8 and Bhayshul Tuten Week 7. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in running back for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.

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: Audric Estimé (age 22) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds. Bhayshul Tuten (age 24) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds.
