JAX RB Travis Etienne - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

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.

JAX RB Travis Etienne - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Indianapolis Colts

Travis Etienne remains hovering around 12 rushing attempts per game while Tank Bigsby had seven carries for 90 yards against the Texans. Etienne is still the back to own in Jacksonville and he does have a favorable matchup against the Colts, who are allowing the second-most rushing yards, ahead of only the Rams. Time will tell if this becomes more of a timeshare, but Etienne still gets the edge, for now.

JAX RB Travis Etienne - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

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.

JAX RB Travis Etienne - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Buffalo Bills

Through two games, Travis Etienne has 30 touches to Tank Bigsby’s 12. Etienne has also started the season with a touchdown in each of the first two weeks. With Bigsby injured, that could mean even more work Monday against the Bills, who have also allowed a rushing touchdown in each of their first two games. Etienne should be viewed a a solid RB2 this week.

JAX RB Travis Etienne - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Cleveland Browns

Travis Etienne did have a touchdown against the Dolphins but had 29 fewer yards than Tank Bigsby on the same amount of attempts (12). Etienne also lost a fumble near the goal line that helped turn the game around for the Dolphins. Credit Dolphins safety Jevon Holland for making an excellent play to punch the ball out. Etienne did play 37 snaps to Bigsby's 17. Perhaps that gap gets smaller, but until it does, Etienne is still the back to own in Jacksonville. He'll have a chance to bounce back this week but the Browns are very tough defensively. They did allow a rushing touchdown to Ezekiel Elliott last week, so keep that in mind. Etienne is a RB2/Flex this week.

JAX RB Travis Etienne - 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

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.

JAX RB Travis Etienne - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Carolina Panthers

Week 16 was a dismal week for Travis Etienne that saw him amass just 4.6 Half-PPR points and finish as the RB47. Etienne carried the ball just six times for 12 yards, while his three receptions brought forth just 19 more yards. Etienne is the RB9 in points per game this season, but since Week 8 he has been the RB20. His rushing yards have dropped in each of his last four games.

Etienne is a volume-based RB1 projection this week against a Panthers team that has not been able to stop the run all year long. They rank 19th in aFPA to running backs. If Trevor Lawrence cannot go, then the Jaguars may lean on Etienne heavier than they have in recent weeks, but they and Etienne's fantasy managers will need to see him produce a lot more than his recent outings have put out.
