Sounds like he has no agility and is simply a sprinter out there but if he lands in the right offense with those skills he could make quite a splash.
Could see him maybe being this year's Tyrone Tracy.
His start off the blocks is what caught my eye. Speed AND quickness.
Which one is which, even?
Exactly lol
Last year of Etienne’s contract, trying to find a cheap replacement?
And a better player.
I hope that was Gennifer Flowers rather than Zay Flowers.

Honestly, though, I don't think I would have given up Flowers for Tuten and a fourth, but every league and every roster is different.
Perhaps I am either too high on Flowers or too low on Tuten.
I like Tuten. He is my RB8 in a really good class. However, I have him in the same tier as WR Jaylin Noel, and a full tier behind WRs Higgins, Harris, Williams and Bech. I would take Flowers over any of them. Flowers is only 24, so his best years are arguably still ahead. He was the 22nd pick in the first round of the 2023 draft, and he has lived up to his first-round status. Like I say, every league is different, roster composition is different, and all of that. However, I rate Flowers considerably higher than Tuten. Tuten is a 4th round pick who will have to leapfrog not one, but two quality young RBs ahead of him in Jacksonville. If you believe Tuten is the next great RB prospect, I wouldn't fault you for making an aggressive move to trade to acquire him, but that seems like a very steep price.

I also lean Flowers. However, I'm holding 2.03, loved Flowers coming out and still haven't offered the pick up to the Flowers owner yet, so I guess it can't be too far off in a good year to pick up an early 4th.
If I was smarter I'd probably only use my draft capital to buy up recent prospects that haven't fully broken out. I'm as guilty of falling for the shiny, new mystery box as anyone.
This is my first year in a short bench ( 20-ffpc) dynasty league . My first dynasty league has 25 with 3 IR so you can afford to stash 2-4 guys and just wait and see if they turn in to anything. In a FFPC league I just drafted, I have to decide which 2 of these 4 to cut already - Trey Benson,Bo Nix,Cedric Tillman or Dontaviyon Wicks.

You got a long time to decide and work out trades but if Benson's value is on par with a mid second. Those WR's are way off.This is my first year in a short bench ( 20-ffpc) dynasty league .

No no I think most folks would agree with you. I know I'm going against consensus here. I'm not into Flowers floor and I am at least mildly bullish on Tuten especially in PPR like this one. But I know the on-paper value lies on the Flowers side and am willing to take that hit because I think this is what's best for my team.

Bill would agree!
Yeah, Tillman and Wicks are definitely the 2 being cut if no trades. But Wicks at least showed something last year and may be better than some of the guys I just drafted. It used to be that WR broke out in their third year but can't afford to hold them that long anymore.You got a long time to decide and work out trades but if Benson's value is on par with a mid second.

I absolutely have him in a tier above those names. And I don't think Tuten is necessarily anything special but 4th round doesn't scare me (as much as it used to) and I think that new regime new head coach new GM there is sometimes a thing with the incumbent backs being part of the old regime and the new coaches wanna use the new toys etc. I really don't believe in ETN (never did) and most think he is on his way out (he might be a screaming deal right now IDK) and I am actually a pretty big believer in Tank Bigsby who I see as the 1A at the moment so I am looking to get a 1B split where Tuten earns the 3rd down/2-minute role and gets backup carries. Tank is the 1a and ETN is change of pace with some designed routes. Tuten has a murky path to take over but it's there and in the early 2nd round you won't find much better for RB upside. And maybe a decent PPR floor.I have him in the same tier as WR Jaylin Noel, and a full tier behind WRs Higgins, Harris, Williams and Bech. If you believe Tuten is the next great RB prospect, I wouldn't fault you for making an aggressive move to trade to acquire him, but that seems like a very steep price.

Tuten is appealing. However, the knock on him is ball security (drops/fumbles). Coaches don't have the patience for that. Cam is an every down player. If Tuten can fix his hands, he's the pick due to his speed (assuming he can PB). But knowing what we know now, Cam is the pick for me at the moment...and I'm a Jags fan.
I don't think it's a slam dunk by any means but have zero issue with the consensus side. I can't believe I'm typing this but I have a lot more faith in what the Jaguars are doing than what the Giants are doing. I play exclusively PPR and that might color the answer, because my understanding is that Skattebo isn't considered a receiving threat whereas that is a known strength for Tuten. And we know things can change fast re:total offense quality but right now I put the combination of BTJ/Hunter/Strange/Tuten pretty far ahead of Nabers and some JAGs. Skattebo is going to be the guy there, but is he going to catch passes and are the Giants going to be punching it in from short distance a lot?
I agree. My take is that Tank starts the year as the 1A and fades as Tuten emerges. Assuming he is up to it.
Cam Skatebo isn't considered a receiving threat? He had receiving stats of 45/605/3 in 2024 and 69/891/4 for two years.
Maybe I heard that wrong, he was in a no-man's land in my drafts. Never really had a shot at him where he was going but I swear I'd heard something about him not being as good of a receiver. I stand corrected.
