Bhayshul Tuten vs Jahmyr Gibbs: Who Should You Start?
The numbers tell a clear story here. Jahmyr Gibbs put up 19.3 fantasy points per game for the Detroit Lions in 2025, while Bhayshul Tuten managed 5.6 across 15 games with the Jacksonville Jaguars. A 13.7-point weekly edge is substantial at the running back position.
A 13.7-PPG gap gives Jahmyr Gibbs 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.
Jahmyr Gibbs is the receiving back in this matchup, turning 77 targets into 616 yards, while Bhayshul Tuten profiles as a more traditional rusher with 307 rushing yards and 5 touchdowns. In PPR and half-PPR formats Jahmyr Gibbs carries the higher weekly floor. In standard leagues the gap tightens considerably.
Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Bhayshul Tuten sits Week 12 while Jahmyr Gibbs is off Week 5. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.
