Fantasy Tiers

Bhayshul Tuten: Tier 5 (Deep League) RB (ranked #58 at the position). Nick Chubb: Tier 5 (Deep League) RB (ranked #59 at the position). Among the top 50 running backs this season, Bhayshul Tuten is producing at 25% of elite pace and Nick Chubb at 25%. These two are close enough in the rankings that weekly matchup should dictate your start.

Bhayshul Tuten vs Nick Chubb: 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 Nick Chubb clocked in at 5.5 across 15 appearances for the Houston Texans. A 0.1-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; Nick Chubb posted 506 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 Nick Chubb Week 8. 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. Nick Chubb (age 30, 7 years) is past the typical RB peak. Redraft value exceeds dynasty value.
