It's safe to view Chris Rodriguez Jr. as a dart throw on draft day. He's spent his first three NFL seasons as a backup and hasn't generated much fantasy relevance. He has scored 10 total touchdowns during that span, but his role as a receiver has been virtually nonexistent, with just six career receptions.
Still, he has enough value to potentially derail some of the breakout hype surrounding Tuten. At 5-11 and 224 pounds, Rodriguez is a bigger back than the 5-9, 209-pound Tuten, which could make him a candidate to vulture goal-line touchdowns. Rodriguez is the type of player you grab in the double-digit rounds and stash to see how Jacksonville uses him. He won't offer much as a receiver, so his fantasy ceiling remains limited. At the very least, keep him on your radar.

 Chris Rodriguez limited to individual work as camp begins
Foot injury

|  | #Jaguars RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (foot) has been cleared and will do individual work today but team will ramp him up so no team work initially. Same for CB Christian Braswell. (Ryan O'Halloran on X)
FFToday's Take: It's a good sign for Rodriguez that he didn't begin camp on the PUP list, but he'll be limited to individual work and hopefully ramp up to team drills in the coming days. He'll be fighting for touches in the Jaguars backfield this season along with Bhayshul Tuten with Tuten currently being the preferred fantasy option.

Foot injury

| | According to a team source, Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. had a procedure on his left foot following an injury earlier in the offseason program, but is expected to be ready for the start of training camp in late July. (Ryan O'Halloran on X)
FFToday's Take: One of the many discussion points for fantasy analysts this pre-season will be the usage for Rodriguez and Bhayshul Tuten. Rodriguez hasn't been on the practice field during OTAs and now we know why. The exact nature of his foot injury hasn't been released but this will keep Tuten in the driver seat for now until we get a better on handle on Rodriguez's true health during training camp.
