Backfield timeshare likely
In the wake of the offseason departure of Travis Etienne, John Shipley of SI.com notes that "all signs point" to the Jaguars employing a timeshare backfield led by Tuten and Chris Rodriguez (foot).
LeQuint Allen will also mix in to some degree, but there's likely to be a heated battle between Tuten - who's coming off a strong offseason program -- and Rodriguez (who is bouncing back from a foot procedure) for the top spot during training camp, and coach Liam Coen has referred to the situation as "truly wide open." Tuten's upside as a pass-catcher could give him a narrow edge over Rodriguez when it comes to touch and snap volume, but this is a looming committee situation from a fantasy perspective.
