2020 Rush/Rec Projections
Could see increased role
Rodriguez could see an increased role in Kentucky's offense, with new offensive coordinator Liam Coen saying that the running back should push for 20-25 touches per game, Josh Moore of the Lexington Herald-Leader reports.
ANALYSIS
Rodriguez averaged 13.2 carries per game in 2020 but was lightly used in the passing game with just one catch on his lone target. Kentucky's new offense will attempt to get him more involved both as a rusher and as a pass-catcher. Rodriguez already projects for one of the heaviest rushing workloads in the SEC this fall, so adding a pass-catching element would increase his fantasy value even further.

2019 Fantasy Outlook
Rodriguez will compete with Kavosiey Smoke for touches behind starter A.J. Rose. Both are redshirt freshmen who got only a small taste of action while Benny Snell was still running the show at running back for the Wildcats in 2018. Snell is off to the NFL, though, leaving touches aplenty for Rose and the remaining stable of running backs. Rodriguez and Smoke have a bit more weight to throw around than Rose, meaning one could even serve as a goal line back if Rose breaks down or needs an extra breather.
