TravisEtienne Jr.

News: 6 days agoEtienne rushed four times for three yards and brought in his only target for a nine-yard touchdown in the Jaguars' 26-13 preseason win over the Chiefs on Saturday night.

Spin: The talented back found running room at a premium, but he was able to cap off the Jaguars' opening possession with a nine-yard touchdown grab in connection with Trevor Lawrence. Etienne projects for another robust role in the upcoming season as the Jaguars' clear No. 1 back. It remains to be seen if he'll see a boost in playing time during the team's second preseason game against the Buccaneers next Saturday night.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Fresh off a career campaign that saw him tally the third-most touches in the league, Etienne is firmly in the RB1 discussion as he enters his fourth season. Volume was arguably his greatest asset, as the Clemson product's efficiency has room for improvement (he finished 38th in yards per touch among backs with at least 50 rushing attempts). Etienne is likely to handle another compelling blend of early-down, red zone and receiving opportunities this season. Given such heavy usage, age and production, Etienne's path to repeating a top-12 fantasy finish appears viable.
