Travis Etienne Jr. Heads Into Tough Matchup Vs. Saints On TNF

one year ago

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. takes on the New Orleans Saints in a Thursday Night Football matchup this week. The former first-round pick had another fantasy-rich day last week, finishing as the RB2. That's two straight weeks Etienne has finished either No. 1 or 2 at his position, and his usage is among the top-five backs in the league. He will have his work cut out for him Thursday night as the Saints have held serve vs. opposing ground games, ranking No. 2 against RBs and top 10 in yards allowed on the ground. With Etienne's crazy high utilization, which may even increase if Trevor Lawrence is unable to go, Etienne is still a smash start as usual.
