  - Verdict: not settled yet

## Who this take is about

- Bhayshul Tuten — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/bhayshul-tuten

## What others said about the same people

- Kyle Crabbs on Bhayshul Tuten: Crabbs projects all seven rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft, starting with Cam Ward going No. 1 overall to Tennessee, Travis Hunter second to Cleveland and Abdul Carter third to the Giants. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/e8a40874-e85c-44ec-a4c8-b6f0edbd22d2 (scored 20.13)
- Andrew Erickson on Bhayshul Tuten: Erickson's must-have targets round by round: Nico Collins in round one (1,500 receiving yards if healthy), Drake London as a top-five WR in round two, Omarion Hampton as the Chargers' bell cow in round three, Kenneth Walker as a top-five fantasy back in round four, plus Tetairoa McMillan, Jaylen Waddle, Ricky Pearsall, Jordan Mason, Tucker Kraft, Drake Maye and a set of late-round fliers. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/58b6b85b-eacc-4bf3-a205-bcc403d81bc2 (scored 0)
- Chris Raybon on Bhayshul Tuten: Raybon's biggest offseason move is Liam Coen to Jacksonville, and he expects nearly every Jaguars fantasy piece to beat their draft cost — Trevor Lawrence as a QB12-type, rookie Bhayshul Tuten as the team's eventual lead back, Brian Thomas Jr. with WR1-overall upside and Brenton Strange as value. He also expects mild regression for Baker Mayfield without Coen (still a top-six fantasy QB), likes Omarion Hampton, Treveon Henderson, Stefon Diggs, Rhamondre Stevenson, Matthew Golden, Jayden Reed and Jordan Love, and thinks Najee Harris slips to RB3 territory. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/8ce155d5-152d-4837-a3d4-de50bd0df442 (scored 0)
- John Shipley on Bhayshul Tuten: Shipley expects Bhayshul Tuten to continue handling the bulk of Jacksonville's backfield workload going forward, with Chris Rodriguez Jr. in a complementary short-yardage role. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/efaf0daa-22f2-4b6e-83b8-b53cbdf195cb (not settled)
- John Shipley on Bhayshul Tuten: Shipley expects second-year back LeQuint Allen, healthy and with no injury designation, to play and take on a substantially larger role — particularly on passing downs — in the Jaguars' Week 2 game at Denver. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/7bc24f62-d81f-4ff7-a0f0-f1bc4daa660b (not settled)
- John Shipley on Bhayshul Tuten: Shipley concludes from Week 1 snap counts that Bhayshul Tuten is the Jaguars' lead running back ahead of Chris Rodriguez Jr., with his stock rising. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/516ad198-7e85-4b32-a122-6d4a50c06f7a (not settled)

## More roster spot calls

The same kind of call, about other players and teams.

- Philip Hughes on Caelen Carson: A NFC East news roundup relays that cornerback is Dallas' weakest unit, with Caelen Carson holding on as the last man on the 53-man roster and Cobie Durant slotted in as the Cowboys' second cornerback. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/d1535c8f-ca43-4d5e-8f83-3a7104937e16 (scored 100)

- Noah Strackbein on Daylen Everette: With Joey Porter Jr. activated off PUP, Strackbein expects Asante Samuel Jr. to be the Steelers' top backup cornerback — the first depth player used off the bench — and rookie Daylen Everette to round out the cornerback room entering the regular season. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/87ee7f81-ccd0-45f7-84d5-0db7310604c0 (scored 100)
- Nathan Jahnke on Kendre Miller: An unsigned PFF preseason recap makes numerous depth-chart, roster and usage projections across the league, based on Week 3 preseason playing time — including Roman Wilson winning Pittsburgh's third receiver job, Luke McCaffrey's roster spot being in danger, Charlie Kolar as the Chargers' top tight end, and Kendre Miller as the Saints' RB2. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/47566b48-8024-4960-b25c-11c03fe43543 (scored 100)
- Noah Compton on Deion Burks: After the Colts' preseason finale loss to Detroit, Compton projected several roster and depth-chart outcomes: Daniel Jones as the starting quarterback, rookie A.J. Haulcy as the starting strong safety, Seth McGowan as the backup running back, and rookie defensive ends George Gumbs Jr. and Caden Curry making the initial 53-man roster, while receiver Deion Burks appears likely to be cut. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/fa7eba23-4322-47d7-b21e-7adb82e6b325 (scored 0)
- Nathan Jahnke on Tom Kennedy: PFF's preseason fantasy recap projects Colts roles: Keenan Allen as the starting Z receiver with Josh Downs in the slot, Laquon Treadwell as the backup X, and seventh-round rookie Seth McGowan as the favorite to be Jonathan Taylor's backup ahead of DJ Giddens. On the Lions, Tom Kennedy appears to have locked up a roster spot with Greg Dortch next most likely. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/33c062c4-069c-4f3e-a9c9-bcdaa9048149 (scored 100)

Accuracy is 0-100 against what actually happened. The naive guess is what a strategy requiring no knowledge would have scored on the same call — the difference is the skill, and it is what the MissedTakes Score averages.
