Travis Etienne Jr. Has RB1 Status Against Soft Bills Run Defense

Travis Etienne Jr. Has RB1 Status Against Soft Bills Run Defense

one year ago

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. heads into a Week 5 contest against the Buffalo Bills at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. As good as the Bills have been on defense this year, they have given up the highest YPC in the entire league through 4 weeks (6.3, which is significantly higher than the second-worst team at 5.6). If the Jags are going to be competitive in this game, they will want to exploit that shortcoming of the Bills' defense, which will benefit Etienne. There is of course the chance that Buffalo gets out to an early lead which may force Jacksonville to abandon the run quicker than they would like, but with Etienne still involved in the passing game he should be a smash play this week.
