Bhayshul Tuten vs Jahmyr Gibbs

Fantasy Football Comparison for the 2026 NFL Season

The Bottom Line

Jahmyr Gibbs is the better fantasy play this season.

Jahmyr Gibbs is clearly the better fantasy option heading into 2026. With 19.3 PPG and 1,839 total yards in 2025, the production separation is too wide to overcome on matchup alone. Bhayshul Tuten (5.6 PPG) is a hold, not a sell, but roster Jahmyr Gibbs as the starter and Bhayshul Tuten as depth.

High confidence: stats strongly favor the leader, and the gap is unlikely to close on matchup alone.

Fantasy Tiers

Bhayshul Tuten: Tier 5 (Deep League) RB (ranked #58 at the position). Jahmyr Gibbs: Tier 1 (Elite) RB (ranked #4 at the position). Among the top 50 running backs this season, Bhayshul Tuten is producing at 25% of elite pace and Jahmyr Gibbs at 88%. That ranking gap means Jahmyr Gibbs carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Bhayshul Tuten vs Jahmyr Gibbs: Who Should You Start?

The numbers tell a clear story here. Jahmyr Gibbs put up 19.3 fantasy points per game for the Detroit Lions in 2025, while Bhayshul Tuten managed 5.6 across 15 games with the Jacksonville Jaguars. A 13.7-point weekly edge is substantial at the running back position.

A 13.7-PPG gap gives Jahmyr Gibbs the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.

Jahmyr Gibbs is the receiving back in this matchup, turning 77 targets into 616 yards, while Bhayshul Tuten profiles as a more traditional rusher with 307 rushing yards and 5 touchdowns. In PPR and half-PPR formats Jahmyr Gibbs carries the higher weekly floor. In standard leagues the gap tightens considerably.

One thing to note: both players share a Week 8 bye. That means you need a backup plan at running back for that week, especially if one of these two is your starter.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

If you can acquire Jahmyr Gibbs at a discount because your league-mates undervalue running back production, do it. Bhayshul Tuten is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: Bhayshul Tuten (age 24) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds. Jahmyr Gibbs (age 24) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds.
