Bhayshul Tuten vs Jordan MasonWho should you start in 2026 fantasy football?

Jordan Mason is the better fantasy start for 2026, averaging 7.6 PPG to Bhayshul Tuten's 5.6 in 2025. Full head to head breakdown below.

The Bottom Line

Jordan Mason is the better fantasy play this season.

Jordan Mason has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 2.0-PPG advantage is real (7.6 to 5.6), and Jordan Mason's 6 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

Bhayshul Tuten: Tier 5 (Deep League) RB (ranked #58 at the position). Jordan Mason: Tier 5 (Deep League) RB (ranked #42 at the position). Among the top 50 running backs this season, Bhayshul Tuten is producing at 25% of elite pace and Jordan Mason at 35%. That ranking gap means Jordan Mason carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Bhayshul Tuten vs Jordan Mason: The Full Breakdown

Bhayshul Tuten and Jordan Mason are both viable fantasy running backs heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Bhayshul Tuten averaged 5.6 PPG across 15 games with the Jacksonville Jaguars, while Jordan Mason posted 7.6 PPG in 16 appearances for the Minnesota Vikings.

A 2.0-PPG gap gives Jordan Mason 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. Bhayshul Tuten ran for 307 yards and 5 touchdowns; Jordan Mason posted 758 and 6. 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: Bhayshul Tuten is off Week 7 and Jordan Mason Week 6. 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: Bhayshul Tuten (age 24) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds. Jordan Mason (age 27) is approaching the age where RB production historically drops. Sell-high window is open.
