News: 16 hours agoRodriguez (hand) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

Spin: Rodriguez was listed as a limited practice participant all week, but his hand issue is something he'll play through, while working alongside Bhayshul Tuten (ankle/foot), who returned to a limited session Friday and was also cleared for Week 10 action. Rodriguez has 55 carries in eight games to date, while Tuten has logged 122 rushes in that span, but Rodriguez has at least helped out his fantasy managers of late by scoring in each of his last two contests.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Rodriguez, a 2023 sixth-round NFL draft pick, spent his first three seasons with Washington and has primarily played a depth role, but he did hit career-high marks in touches (115), yardage (530) and touchdowns (six) in 2025. Rodriguez has handled more than 10 touches in nine career games and averaged 13.1 touches, 65.9 yards and 11.7 fantasy points with a total of seven touchdowns in those outings. Though he's an effective rusher, Rodriguez is not an option in the passing game (seven career targets). The 26-year-old's contract included a healthy $6.2 million in guarantees, so he's likely to have a legitimate offensive role as a counterpart to second-year backs Bhayshul Tuten and LeQuint Allen Jr. Rodriguez might score the occasional touchdown, but his role won't allow consistent fantasy output. He's best stashed on benches.
