Bhayshul Tuten vs Tyler Allgeier: Who Should You Start?
The gap between Bhayshul Tuten and Tyler Allgeier is smaller than most fantasy managers think. Separated by just 1.2 PPG in 2025, this is one of those running back decisions that comes down to context, not name recognition. Bhayshul Tuten averaged 5.6 PPG with the Jacksonville Jaguars across 15 games, and Tyler Allgeier posted 6.8 with the Arizona Cardinals in 17.
When two running backs are separated by less than two points per game, the decision shifts to weekly context. Who has the softer defense? Who is trending up over the last month? Which team is projected for more total points? Those are the tiebreakers that actually matter.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Bhayshul Tuten ran for 307 yards and 5 touchdowns; Tyler Allgeier posted 514 and 8. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
Bhayshul Tuten has his bye in Week 12, and Tyler Allgeier rests in Week 11. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at running back for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
