Bhayshul Tuten vs Kenneth Walker III: The Full Breakdown

Two running backs who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Bhayshul Tuten (Jacksonville Jaguars) finished the 2025 season averaging 5.6 fantasy points per game in 15 games. Kenneth Walker III (Seattle Seahawks) came in at 10.4 PPG over 17 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.

Kenneth Walker III carries a 4.8-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.

Both profile as early-down workhorses. Bhayshul Tuten ran for 307 yards and 5 touchdowns; Kenneth Walker III posted 1027 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: Bhayshul Tuten is off Week 7 and Kenneth Walker III Week 11. 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

If you can acquire Kenneth Walker III 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. Kenneth Walker III (age 25) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds.
