Travis Etienne Jr. Remains A Must-Start In Week 10

Travis Etienne Jr. Remains A Must-Start In Week 10

one year ago

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. looks to hit five consecutive top-five RB performances when he takes on the 49ers in Week 10. The former Clemson star has enjoyed a ridiculously productive third season in 2023, ranking third in touches per game, fourth in receiving yards by a RB, and sixth in rushing yards. All that has led to Etienne taking the #3 overall running back spot on the year through 9 weeks. However, he will definitely have his work cut out for him this coming Sunday against the vaunted 49ers run defense, which ranks 12th against opposing backs and just added 2020 second-overall pick DE Chase Young. Given the volume Etienne has seen he's impossible to bench of course, but expectations should be slightly tempered in this tough matchup.
