Bhayshul Tuten carried 16 times for 104 yards and a touchdown and caught both his targets for 55 yards and another score in Jacksonville's 42-7 win over Indianapolis on Sunday. He finished with 28.9 half-PPR points, more than double his 13.7 half-PPR points a game over his previous 6 games. The Jaguars gave him 16 carries and two targets, matching his recent usage.
Tuten remains Jacksonville's lead back and faces Baltimore on a short week Thursday night. Indianapolis had allowed 20.3 half-PPR points a game to running backs, the 12th most of 32. He is scoring 1.8 half-PPR points a game above what his usage predicts over his last three games, 20th of 105 running backs, so some touchdown or big-play luck that may not repeat. His 3.5 carries inside the 20 a game over his last three games rank 10th of 106 running backs, giving him scoring chances.

What to do
• Hold Tuten as an RB2 in 12-team leagues despite the spike game, as his workload has not changed.
