Bhayshul Tuten, Dylan Sampson, Jaylen Wright, Kyle Monangai, Keaton Mitchell, and Tahj Brooks headline a six-pack of RBs to target after Round 12 in 2025 fantasy drafts. ADP guidance from multiple platforms highlights late-round value in a year when workload edges and backfield splits decide championships. Tuten’s speed and contact balance, Sampson’s instinctive one-cut ability, Wright’s burst in Miami, Monangai’s balance in Chicago, Mitchell’s big-play upside in Baltimore, and Brooks’s physicality in Cincinnati offer air-tight, high-reward upside as season-long resources. The piece notes Judkins’ unsettled timeline and suggests that these late-round targets can swing playoff push with gradual, scalable touches as the year unfolds.

In Jacksonville, Tuten projects as a complementary piece behind Etienne and Tank Bigsby, potentially delivering a valuable late-season surge if workload expands. Cleveland’s Dylan Sampson benefits from Judkins’ status and Ford’s presence, offering explosive plays and goal-line upside in a.values-based Browns attack. Miami’s Jaylen Wright is pitched as a fast-twitch option who could slice into Achane’s carries if opportunities present, while Monangai in Chicago represents a sturdy, vision-driven runner behind Swift and Roschon Johnson. Keaton Mitchell’s speed in Baltimore keeps him in the conversation as a stashing playoff spark, and Tahj Brooks with Cincinnati’s depth could carve a meaningful role in a grind-it-out backfield.

Nick Mariano’s updated 2025 RB projections lay out a bold, fantasy-ready roadmap for drafts. Bijan Robinson sits atop the chart with 329.6 projected fantasy points, a clear beacon for early picks, followed by Christian McCaffrey and Saquon Barkley in strong PPR value ranges. Jahmyr Gibbs and Kyren Williams anchor a deep second tier, while James Cook carries TD-regression risk in Buffalo and faces a ceiling built around Buffalo’s evolving offense. Bhayshul Tuten is highlighted as a rookie in Jacksonville who could press for a starting role in Coen’s system, with RJ Harvey in Denver offering early-round upside behind a solid run block. The piece stresses ongoing updates through preseason and weekly notes, plus a rankings portal and a must-have app for real-time injury and news alerts. A broad injury slate and roster chatter could reshuffle value at several spots as camps unfold.

Beyond the top names, the projections expand into a long tail of backs—Tank Bigsby, TreVeyon Henderson, Omarion Hampton, RJ Harvey, and more—providing a granular view of weekly workloads, pass-catching roles, and goal-line opportunities. The article emphasizes that depth, at both the RB1 and flex levels, will matter as defenses tighten in the regular season. It also threads in links to PPR and standard rankings, dynasty considerations, and rookie rankings, framing 2025 as a year where roster-building and matchups win fantasy championships.

Jacksonville’s preseason Week 2 win over New Orleans showcased a multi-headed rushing corps. Etienne opened as the starter, but Tank Bigsby pushed for heavy involvement with a 19-yard screen and a four-yard first-down run that kept the tempo alive. In the other early drive, Etienne added 24 yards on three carries, showing the offense can move with him in space.

Bhayshul Tuten stood out as a downhill option with 35 rushing yards and a rushing TD, while LeQuint Allen flashed as a sure-handed target in the passing game, leading the team with five targets. Coach Liam Coen lauded all four backs for contributing in multiple ways, underscoring a plan to keep a four-man rotation while leaning on Etienne and Bigsby at the top of the depth chart. Trevor Lawrence benefited from the better run game on opening drives, aiding the passing game and the offense overall. The Jaguars’ plan to roster all four backs signals a matchup-driven, committee approach this season, with the distribution likely to adapt weekly.

Spencer Rattler moved one step closer to securing the Saints’ quarterback job, delivering three big-time throws and guiding a late game drive that tied the Jaguars at 17 in a preseason showdown. Tyler Shough flashed rookie-like moments as well, throwing his own big-time play but showing the growing pains typical of a first-year pro. Jacksonville leaned on Trevor Lawrence’s steady hand and a three-headed backfield with Trevor Etienne, Tank Bigsby and Bhayshul Tuten powering drives, while New Orleans saw Rejzohn Wright break up two passes and Keni-H Lovely pick Rattler in the fourth. The 17-17 result is preseason context, but it fuels fantasy debate around Saints quarterbacks and Jaguars backfield usage as teams sort depth charts and upside.

Jaguars tackle Fred Johnson, signed on a one-year deal, earned Player of the Game honors with zero pressures on 28 pass-blocking snaps and a solid run-blocking rate. The box score highlights balanced production and the graders’ tomorrow review will sharpen these impressions. In the short term, the game offers concrete data points for fantasy managers: potential Saints QB competition outcomes, Jaguars RB rotation dynamics, and how each team might lean into depth and efficiency once the regular season arrives.
