Travis Etienne

Week 16 at Las Vegas Raiders

Travis Etienne was the clear RB1 for the Jaguars in Week 15, playing 61 snaps to Tank Bigsby's 22. Etienne totaled 85 yards against the Jets, tying his season high. He also caught at least three passes for the fourth straight game (he secured four catches). Etienne clearly has more upside the rest of the way than Bigsby and there's enough here to make him a borderline RB2 against the Raiders, who just gave up 125 rushing yards to Bijan Robinson.

Week 14 at Tennessee Titans

Travis Etienne saw double the number of touches as Tank Bigsby last week (16-8). Etienne is also being used more in the passing game, recording three catches for the second straight game. The Jags will hope to use the run game more and take pressure off of Mac Jones at quarterback. If they can, that's good news for the fantasy outlook for Etienne. But given the limitations of Jones, the Titans may be able to stack the box against Etienne. It's a lower ceiling than usual, but Etienne should get enough volume to warrant flex appeal. The Titans have also allowed 15 rushing touchdowns in 12 games.

Week 11 at Detroit Lions

With Tank Bigsby leaving the game early last week with an injury, Travis Etienne played 30 of the Jags' 44 offensive snaps. He saw 11 carries and went for 44 yards and had one reception but did lose a yard. If Bigsby can't go, D'Ernest Johnson will work in tandem with Etienne but the latter should see the bulk of the work in the backfield. That said, the offense as a whole is in for an uphill battle against the Lions, particularly if it's another week with Mac Jones as the starter. Etienne also has yet to reach 100 total yards or 70 rushing yards in a game this season. Consider him a flex option at best against Detroit.
