🏈 Fantasy impact
Tuten is a must-start RB1 after another huge performance. His 29.9 PPR points in Week 8 came on just 50% of snaps, showing high efficiency. He now has 118.3 PPR points in seven games (16.9 per game), with 492 rushing yards and 181 receiving yards. His Week 9 projection of 12.6 PPR points is lower than reality since he has 118.3 points in seven games, but the depth chart shows no threat to his workload, and Chris Rodriguez Jr. (43.2 PPR points) is the only other back with meaningful usage. Start Tuten with confidence in all formats.
