Fantasy Tiers

Bhayshul Tuten: Tier 5 (Deep League) RB (ranked #58 at the position). MarShawn Lloyd: Tier 5 (Deep League) RB (ranked #99 at the position). Among the top 50 running backs this season, Bhayshul Tuten is producing at 25% of elite pace and MarShawn Lloyd at 31%. That ranking gap means Bhayshul Tuten carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Bhayshul Tuten vs MarShawn Lloyd: The Full Breakdown

This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Bhayshul Tuten finished the 2025 season at 5.6 PPG over 15 games with the Jacksonville Jaguars, while MarShawn Lloyd clocked in at 6.8 across 12 appearances for the Green Bay Packers. A 1.2-point gap means any given week could go either way.

With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.

Both profile as early-down workhorses. Bhayshul Tuten ran for 307 yards and 5 touchdowns; MarShawn Lloyd posted 325 and 3. 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 MarShawn Lloyd Week 10. 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. MarShawn Lloyd (age 27) is approaching the age where RB production historically drops. Sell-high window is open.
