Travis Etienne

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.

Week 6 vs. Chicago Bears (in London)

Has the gap closed between Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby? Has Etienne been surpassed? Etienne had just six carries in last week’s win while Bigsby had 12. At the very least, this has become a committee in Jacksonville, which is always messy for fantasy purposes. Etienne is still the better option in the receiving game, giving him slightly more value, but both backs are now firmly Flex options.

Week 4 at Houston Texans

If there's been a bright spot on the Jaguars offense this season, it's Travis Etienne. He's averaging 4.6 yards per attempt, though he's only seeing about 12 rushes per game thus far. He does get use in the passing game as well -- nine catches in three games -- and he faces a Texans team that he had eight catches in two games against. That could be key as the Texans are allowing the 7th-fewest rushing yards per game (97.7) but are also allowing the 6th-most EPA/rush at +0.08. Etienne is still a strong RB2 option, even given the Jags' struggles.
