Start Chris Rodriguez Jr.: 34 percent of the snaps and 26 percent of the carries over their last 2 games, against Jordyn Tyson's 24 percent of the snaps and 16 percent of the targets. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

Their Week 10 outlook

The gap

  • Board size313 draftable players

Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Chris Rodriguez Jr., and the board ranks him 150th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Jordyn Tyson, and the board ranks him 151st overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market has Chris Rodriguez Jr. at 2.7 PPR points a game off 1 market across 6 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

The market-based projection for Jordyn Tyson is 1.8 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Chris Rodriguez Jr.'s projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

This season through Week 9

Through Week 9, Chris Rodriguez Jr. has been on the field for 34 percent of JAX snaps, taken 26 percent of the carries, drawn 7 percent of the targets and had 13 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 2 of the offence's 14 third down targets, had 2 of its 4 chances inside the five and seen 0 of its 2 two minute targets.

His 3 targets have averaged 1.3 air yards.

In Week 8 against IND he carried 6 times for 41 yards, caught 1 of 1 target for 17 yards and scored 1 touchdown.

In Week 9 against BAL he carried 10 times for 19 yards, caught 2 of 2 targets for 13 yards and scored 1 touchdown.

Through Week 9, Jordyn Tyson has been on the field for 24 percent of NO snaps, drawn 16 percent of the targets and had 10 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 3 of the offence's 7 third down targets, had 0 of its 2 chances inside the five and seen 1 of its 9 two minute targets.

His 5 targets have averaged 2.2 air yards.

In Week 9 against CLE he caught 4 of 5 targets for 30 yards and did not score.

Their 2025 seasons

In 2025 Chris Rodriguez Jr. played 13 games and scored 92.0 PPR points, 7.1 a game, finishing RB51.

He carried 112 times for 500 yards and 6 touchdowns, and caught 3 of 4 targets for 30 more yards.

That came to 8.6 carries a game at 5 yards a carry and 0.2 catches a game.

He was on the field for 30 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Jordyn Tyson is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

Side by side

Chris Rodriguez Jr. is a running back and Jordyn Tyson a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Chris Rodriguez Jr. is off in Week 7 and Jordyn Tyson in Week 8, so either can cover the other's bye.
