A seventh-round selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, Jacksonville Jaguars running back LeQuint Allen Jr.<\/a> did well to carve out any sort of role in his team’s offense as a rookie. While Allen Jr. logged only 33 touches across 17 games, he played double-digit offensive snaps in 15 contests and seemingly earned the trust of his coaching staff in a third-down role. Former Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr.<\/a> recently signed with the New Orleans Saints in free agency, leaving a significant number of backfield touches in Jacksonville up for grabs heading into 2026. The Jaguars have a promising young back in Bhayshul Tuten<\/a> and also signed former Washington Commanders rusher Chris Rodriguez Jr.<\/a>, both of whom could block off Allen Jr.’s path to early-down work. However, neither Tuten nor Rodriguez Jr. profiles as much of a receiver out of the backfield. Allen Jr. could emerge as Jacksonville’s primary receiving back and may be worth rostering in deep dynasty formats heading into 2026.–Will Brady<\/a>
