Bhayshul Tuten vs Chase Brown: The Full Breakdown

Chase Brown and Bhayshul Tuten are at different tiers heading into 2026. The Cincinnati Bengals running back averaged 14.6 PPG in 2025, a full 9.0 points per game ahead of Bhayshul Tuten's 5.6 with the Jacksonville Jaguars. That kind of gap doesn't close on matchup alone.

Chase Brown carries a 9.0-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.

Chase Brown is the receiving back in this matchup, turning 69 targets into 437 yards, while Bhayshul Tuten profiles as a more traditional rusher with 307 rushing yards and 5 touchdowns. In PPR and half-PPR formats Chase Brown carries the higher weekly floor. In standard leagues the gap tightens considerably.

Bhayshul Tuten has his bye in Week 7, and Chase Brown rests in Week 6. 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

If you can acquire Chase Brown at a discount because your league-mates undervalue running back production, do it. Bhayshul Tuten is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: Bhayshul Tuten (age 24) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds. Chase Brown (age 26) is approaching the age where RB production historically drops. Sell-high window is open.
