Analysis

The third-year back split the backfield workload nearly equally with Tank Bigsby, who turned 15 touches into 42 yards, but the latter also added a one-yard TD plunge to his ledger. Etienne saw a steep drop in his production in 2024 -- after topping 1,000 rushing yards in each of his first two NFL seasons, he managed only 558 yards on 150 totes for a 3.7 YPC while scoring a career-low two touchdowns. Etienne offers more than Bigsby as a receiver, catching 39 of 52 targets for 254 yards this season, and the duo will likely remain in a timeshare to begin 2025.

Analysis

Etienne's role continues to fluctuate every week, and he recorded a season-high 15 rushing attempts in Sunday's win. That was enough to lead the backfield, as Tank Bigsby was limited to 11 total touches. As has been the case for most of the campaign, Etienne's efficiency on the ground left plenty to be desired, though he did manage long gains of 15 and 11 yards. He also had an impressive 26-yard reception that required him to weave through multiple defenders. Though Etienne's usage is frustrating to predict, he has at least 70 yards from scrimmage in three of his last five games.

Analysis

Etienne saw his role diminish with the Jaguars in a tightly contested matchup. He ended up with two fewer touches than Tank Bigsby, though Etienne's inefficiency on the ground was the driving factor in his poor stat line. Etienne is likely to be stuck in a similar role in Week 17 with the Jaguars taking on the Titans in what projects to be a close but low-scoring game.

Analysis

Etienne reclaimed the lead role from Tank Bigsby, finishing with an 18-11 edge in touches after being out-touched, 19-8, by Bigsby against the Titans in Week 14. The week-to-week fluctuations limit both running backs' upside heading into an otherwise favorable Week 16 matchup against the Raiders. Etienne's 85 scrimmage yards against the Jets tied the season high he set back in Week 3 against the Bills.

Analysis

Etienne saw his rushing role diminish significantly in Tank Bigsby's second game back from an ankle injury, and he was out-touched 19-8. That will make Etienne tough to trust moving forward for fantasy purposes, though he did show promise as a receiver. He finished third on the team with four targets and second in yardage -- highlighted by a 21-yard catch and run late in the first quarter.

Analysis

Etienne logged six more carries than backfield mate Tank Bigsby but couldn't muster any remarkable production against a typically stingy Texans run defense. The fourth-year back also was a modest contributor through the air while posting his second straight three-catch tally, but the outlook for all of the Jaguars' skill-position players will take at least a slight hit in a Week 14 road matchup against the Titans, with Mac Jones likely filling in for Trevor Lawrence (concussion) in that contest.

Analysis

With Tank Bigsby sidelined by an ankle injury, Etienne essentially had all early down work to himself. However, with Mac Jones at quarterback and an unstoppable Lions offense on the other side, Etienne couldn't get much going with his opportunities. The fourth-year back finished with under 50 rushing yards for the fifth consecutive game, and even his highest catch total since Week 5 netted next to nothing in production. Etienne will likely be back in a timeshare with Bigsby in a Week 13 home matchup against the Texans, considering the latter should have a good chance to recover over the Week 12 bye.

Analysis

Etienne acted as the primary RB for most of this past Sunday's loss to the Vikings after Tank Bigsby (ankle) made an early exit, turning 11 carries into 44 yards and his only target into a catch for minus-1 yard. Bigsby wasn't able to practice this week prior to Friday's declaration, and D'Ernest Johnson had a cap on his reps due to a hamstring issue. Considering the situation, Etienne could be in line for a large workload Sunday against a Lions defense that has given up seven TDs (tied for 21st) and 4.19 YPC (21st) to opposing running backs in nine games this season.

Analysis

Etienne recorded the first carry of the game for the Jaguars, though he appeared destined to continue to split work with Tank Bigsby (ankle). However, Bigsby suffered an injury early in the first quarter and managed to return for only one carry in the second quarter before spending the rest of the game on the sidelines. Even with his highest carry total since Week 4, Etienne failed to make much of an impact, though he did have an apparent touchdown overturned upon review. He could be in line to lead the backfield again in Week 11 against the Lions, pending Bigsby's availability.
