These five underrated running backs—including Jordan Mason and a Cowboys rookie—are ranked outside the top 36 but offer massive fantasy football upside in 2025.

Bhayshul Tuten, Jacksonville Jaguars

ECR: 53

This is a similar situation to Blue in Dallas, except Tuten is a better prospect and far more explosive than anyone else the Jags have. The rookie should take over as the lead back at some point in Jacksonville this season, eventually splitting time with Tank Bigsby. We don't need to see any more out of Travis Etienne to know that he's not very good. You may have to be patient with Tuten this season, but he will pay off for you in the long run if you snag him late in your drafts.
