Fantasy Upside
Travis Etienne is going to touch the football. Last year was another clear indication of that. Only Christian McCaffrey and Rachaad White had more touches last season than Etienne's 325. He reached 1,000 yards on the ground and 11 touchdowns and added 58 catches for 476 yards and a score. Etienne is the main back in Jacksonville.
Fantasy Downside
Etienne did see fewer snaps as the season progressed as the Jags incorporated Tank Bigsby more into the offense. In the first eight weeks, Etienne played at least 80% of the snaps five times and at least 70% in all eight. After the Week 9 bye, he didn't have a single game with 80% snaps and only two games with at least 70%.
2024 Bottom Line
Etienne is the clear RB1 in Jacksonville and the offense will run through him quite often. The volume and production give Etienne a high floor, putting him in RB1 lineup territory and worth a pick in the late second/early third.
