Travis Etienne Shares Backfield Work

What They're Saying

Here's Jags beat writer John Shipley of SI.com:

"How the Jaguars divide the workload will be interesting moving forward. Etienne has been the heart of the offense for two seasons, but they got equal carries on Sunday and the Jaguars could potentially opt to ride with the hotter hand.

If weeks like this happen again, the Jaguars' own hand may be forced in the backfield."

2024 Fantasy Football Impact

Etienne’s day should have been better, as he fumbled at the goal line for a Dolphins touchback. The young RB didn’t lose a fumble at any point in 2023.

We’ll see if the coaching staff comments on the RB split ahead of a tough Week 2 matchup with Cleveland. Regardless, Etienne will remain a worthwhile fantasy starter – albeit one with a lower fantasy floor.
