Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. has been one of the most consistently productive backs in the NFL so far this season, recording 1,016 scrimmage yards and seven touchdowns across 12 games. The 26-year-old has recorded at least 15 touches in 10 out of 12 contests and scored four touchdowns over the last four weeks. Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten has played a role as the team's RB2 and looked like he might be pushing Etienne Jr. for playing time when he recorded 15 carries in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Chargers. However, in the two weeks since that game, Etienne Jr. has out-touched Tuten 31 to 16 and out-snapped him 71 to 31. Etienne Jr. appears to still have a firm grasp on the RB1 role in Jacksonville and profiles as a high-end fantasy RB2 heading into a Week 14 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. should be in line for a good fantasy day against the Tennessee Titans in Week 13. Not only should game script favor the Jaguars running game against their 1-10 division rival, but the Titans defense has been extra susceptible to the run compared to the pass. That means the Jaguars game plan on paper should be to run early and often, meaning if Etienne Jr. can find the end zone, he could have a big day. Bhayshul Tuten has had mixed involvement in the rushing attack which could limit Etienne Jr.'s upside slightly, but that shouldn't deter fantasy managers. Start the Jaguars star back with confidence in Week 13.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. rushed for 86 yards on 15 carries during Sunday's Week 12 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. He also caught three of his four targets for 30 receiving yards and a touchdown. After a bit of a lull earlier in the season, Etienne has bounced back as a highly effective RB1 in fantasy football ever since his bye week. In four games since the bye, he has 301 rushing yards, 80 receiving yards, and four touchdowns while ranking as the overall RB6 in PPR leagues during that span. Unlike last week, Etienne was able to fend off a strong game from backfield-mate Bhayshul Tuten this Sunday. It appears as though Etienne still has a firm grasp on the lead-back role in Jacksonville, keeping him in the top-10 range for next week's matchup against a struggling Tennessee Titans run defense.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (shoulder) was cleared from Friday's final injury report and will be active in Week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals. Etienne was a limited participant in practice this week due to a shoulder injury. The 26-year-old has been a borderline RB1 over the previous three weeks, scoring three touchdowns and getting over 16 carries a game during that stretch. Etienne is RotoBaller's 13th-ranked running back in Week 12 against a middle-of-the-pack Cardinals run defense. The Cardinals gave up 95 rushing yards and surrendered two rushing touchdowns last week to the San Francisco 49ers. Etienne will also have to split carries with rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten, who had a career high of 15 carries last week. To this point, Etienne has been able to fend off Tuten and be the RB1 in the Jaguars' backfield and will be a reliable high-end RB2 against a non-threatening Cardinals run defense.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (shoulder) was limited in practice all week due to a shoulder injury, but he has been cleared from Friday's final injury report and will be active in Week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN. Rookie Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) followed the same routine in practice this week and was also cleared, so the Jags will have both RBs available in the desert. The 26-year-old Etienne has been Jacksonville's RB1 pretty much all year, but Tuten saw a bigger piece of the pie in last week's win over the Los Angeles Chargers, leading many to wonder if Tuten might slowly be taking over this backfield. It's possible, but both RBs should see plenty of chances to produce in a plus matchup against Arizona. Etienne had two rushing scores in Week 11 and profiles as a high-end RB2 for fantasy managers in this matchup.
Nov 21, 2025 7:36 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (shoulder) was wearing a non-contact jersey at Thursday's practice, per Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union. It looks like Etienne will be listed as a limited participant in practice for the second straight day after injuring his shoulder in Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Rookie RB Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) also hurt his ankle in Week 11 and was limited on Wednesday, but he wasn't in a non-contact jersey on Thursday. Etienne was productive on Sunday with two touchdowns in a blowout win over the Chargers in which the Jags leaned heavily on the ground game, but Tuten also saw his biggest workload of the year and scored a rushing touchdown. Both RBs could be active this weekend in Arizona, but if Etienne is less than 100%, Tuten could be the favored option out of Jacksonville's backfield in Week 12.
Nov 20, 2025 1:15 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (shoulder) is on the Week 12 injury report and was limited in Wednesday's practice with a shoulder injury. Both Etienne and Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) are a little banged up coming out of Sunday's blowout win over the Los Angeles Chargers, but the fact that they were both able to practice on Wednesday is a good sign that they will be available this weekend on the road in Las Vegas against the Raiders. Tuten played a season-high 32% of the offensive snaps in Week 11 and carried the ball a season-high 15 times for 74 yards and a touchdown, but that may have had something to do with Etienne's shoulder injury. Etienne played a season-low 49% of snaps but still saw 19 carries for 73 yards and two touchdowns in a run-heavy game script. The two backs could have more of an even split in another plus matchup in Week 12 against the Raiders if they are active.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. had 19 carries, 73 rushing yards, and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 11 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He was unable to haul in either of his two targets in the passing game. Etienne ceded early-game touches to Bhayshul Tuten (ankle), but then the rookie left the game with an injury, clearing the way for Etienne to re-establish himself as the lead back. The 26-year-old took full advantage of the opportunity, helping fuel a 35-6 upset victory at home. If Tuten is healthy in Week 12, we could see somewhat of a 50/50 backfield split, as both running backs have proven that they are effective and can provide a spark. In a split backfield, Etienne is a low-end RB2. However, he would jump to the RB1 tier if he operates as the workhorse or if Tuten misses time.
Nov 16, 2025 7:26 PM EST
Following an excellent start to the 2025 season, Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. has cooled off as the team heads into its Week 8 bye. The fifth-year back is the No. 16 overall PPR running back, but has now recorded fewer than 50 yards rushing and no touchdowns in three straight games for the Jags, who were thoroughly quieted by the Los Angeles Rams in a 35-7 loss last week. Etienne drew only eight carries and one catch, his fewest number of touches in a game this season. The Jags traded Tank Bigsby to Philadelphia earlier this year, and rookie Bhayshul Tuten has yet to play more than a third of the team's snaps in a game, so Etienne is still the clear top option, but managers should continue to watch his usage in the weeks to come. Jacksonville travels to Las Vegas in Week 9.
Oct 23, 2025 9:17 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. dominated the San Francisco 49ers with 19 carries for 124 yards and a touchdown in his team's 26-21 Week 4 win. The 26-year-old is off to a terrific start to the 2025 season, with 65 carries for 394 yards and two touchdowns as a rusher, and six catches for 32 yards and a score as a receiver through his first four games. Etienne Jr. is also dominating backfield touches in Jacksonville so far, as Jaguars backup running backs Bhayshul Tuten and LeQuint Allen Jr. combined for just six touches in Week 4. Etienne Jr. profiles as a must-start fantasy running back going into a Week 5 showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Sep 28, 2025 9:38 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen praised running back Travis Etienne Jr. after Etienne Jr.'s big performance in Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers. Per ESPN's Michael DiRocco, Coen had this to say about Etienne Jr.: "It took some time early on in terms of understanding the demands and the standards. Once (Etienne Jr.) really got on the same page, it's been doing this (upward motion)." The Jaguars traded running back Tank Bigsby to the Philadelphia Eagles following Week 1, clearing the way for Etienne Jr. and rookie Bhayshul Tuten to dominate touches in Jacksonville. Etienne Jr. profiles as a fantasy RB2 in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Sep 13, 2025 7:39 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. had a monster game in his team's 26-10 Week 1 victory over the Carolina Panthers. Etienne Jr. rushed 16 times for 143 yards and added three catches for 13 yards as well. It wasn't clear coming into the season how Jacksonville would split backfield work between running backs Etienne Jr., Tank Bigsby, Bhayshul Tuten, and LeQuint Allen Jr. However, it was Etienne Jr. who dominated touches in Week 1. His 16 carries were almost double what Jacksonville's other three backs earned combined (nine). Allen Jr. was also the only other Jaguars running back to earn a target, so Etienne Jr. looks like he could be in line for a three-down role. As long as he continues to work in a clear lead role, Etienne Jr. could provide fantasy RB2 production going forward.
Sep 7, 2025 9:09 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen shed some light on running back Travis Etienne Jr.'s usage going into the regular season on Wednesday. "We've got to use him as a guy that can help make plays... turn those 10 play drives into four play drives," Coen said. Etienne and Bigsby were listed as co-starters on the team's unofficial Week 1 depth chart, and they both figure to split the workload to open the 2025 campaign under Coen. Most fantasy managers were down on the 26-year-old after he was a major bust last year. However, unless he's traded, which is unlikely now, Etienne is going to have a role in Jacksonville's backfield. Bigsby has the power between the tackles, but Etienne's speed sets him apart, and he could still operate as a useful RB2/3 option for fantasy managers in PPR formats on a weekly basis.

On the Jacksonville Jaguars' first unofficial depth chart of the regular season, they have listed running backs Travis Etienne Jr. and Tank Bigsby as co-starters, according to Demetrius Harvey of the Florida Times-Union. Rookie Bhayshul Tuten is the RB3, and LeQuint Allen Jr. comes in at RB4 heading into the Week 1 matchup against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. The Jaguars are keeping it close to the vest how their RB usage will shake out between Etienne and Bigsby on Sunday against a Panthers defense that was the worst unit against the run in all of football. Both Etienne and Bigsby could both see decent workloads in the season opener against a defense that was downright awful in 2024, putting them both in the RB3/flex conversation for fantasy. Meanwhile, Tuten should open the year in a change-of-pace role for Jacksonville.
Sep 2, 2025 6:06 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars beat writer John Shipley of Sports Illustrated believes that the team is looking to trade one of its veteran running backs, Travis Etienne Jr. or Tank Bigsby. Jacksonville has been rotating first-team reps between Etienne Jr., Bigsby, and fourth-round rookie Bhayshul Tuten throughout the preseason. Rookie seventh-rounder LeQuint Allen Jr. is also expected to make the 53-man roster, per Shipley. Between Jacksonville's two backs with NFL experience, Etienne Jr. is the superior pass-catcher, while Bigsby is a better early-down and goal-line rusher. Both profile as low-end RB3/flex options in fantasy as long as they are splitting reps in Jacksonville, so it's possible that a trade would help the outlooks for each.
Aug 24, 2025 2:11 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. got a lot of run "from the jump" in the team's scrimmage on Thursday. Tank Bigsby and rookie Bhayshul Tuten had the second-most reps of RBs during the scrimmage, and Bigsby found the end zone. Etienne was also the team's lead back in the preseason opener on Saturday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, although he only carried the ball twice for six yards and caught one pas for a pickup of 10 yards. Bigsby and Tuten didn't see the field. Etienne's usage so far suggests that he should be a big part of Jacksonville's offense in 2025, unless he's traded before the start of the season. The 26-year-old is still RotoBaller's highest-ranked (No. 33) Jaguars RB in fantasy, but Bigsby is at No. 38, and Tuten sits at No. 51. It could be a three-headed monster for Jacksonville, making Etienne an RB3/flex, at best, in PPR leagues if he's not traded.
Aug 14, 2025 2:22 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars running backs Travis Etienne Jr. and Tank Bigsby are listed as co-starters on the team's unofficial depth chart. Nevertheless, it was Etienne who looked like the "top option" during Tuesday's practice, according to John Shipley of SI.com. Etienne broke some long runs and looked more comfortable as a receiver than the Jaguars' other backs. The 26-year-old dealt with cramps at the end of practice, but it doesn't seem there's much concern over that. After back-to-back productive seasons from 2022-23, Etienne's output fell off a cliff over 15 games last year. The former Clemson star totaled career-low marks across the board as a runner with 558 yards and two touchdowns on 150 carries. As a receiver, he chipped in 39 catches for 254 yards and no scores. Etienne is now stuck in a crowded RB room with Bigsby and a pair of promising rookies in Bhaysul Tuten and LeQuint Allen Jr., making him a risky option from a fantasy standpoint.
Aug 12, 2025 8:09 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars running backs Travis Etienne Jr. and Tank Bigsby are listed as co-starters on the team's first unofficial depth chart this week. Etienne and Bigsby have shared first-team reps during training camp so far this summer, so this doesn't come as much of a surprise. Bigsby is expected to handle most of the physical work between the tackles in 2025, while Etienne is being seen as a dangerous component as part of new head coach Liam Coen's screen game. Meanwhile, rookie Bhayshul Tuten is a speed threat with lots of home run ability. Even rookie LeQuint Allen Jr. could have a role in Jacksonville's backfield this year as a pass-catching option. After Bigsby looked like the more explosive back in 2024, Etienne's fantasy value has dropped to RB3/flex levels, with him being more attractive now in PPR formats.
Aug 4, 2025 7:10 PM EST
ESPN's Dan Graziano writes that the Jacksonville Jaguars plan to keep four running backs for a committee approach in 2025 under new head coach Liam Coen. "They see Travis Etienne Jr. as a potentially very dangerous part of Coen's screen game." Tank Bigsby is viewed as more of a physical pounder between the tackles, which may mean he is the team's short-yardage and goal-line option. Rookie fourth-rounder Bhayshul Tuten is the speed guy and home run threat out of the backfield. Rookie seventh-rounder LeQuint Allen Jr. could evolve into a third-down back due to his pass-catching and pass-protection abilities. Graziano thinks this could be a situation to stay away from in fantasy until concrete roles develop. Etienne has mostly shared reps with Bigsby at training camp. In PPR leagues, Etienne will be a cheap RB3/flex target.
Aug 4, 2025 2:33 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. was seemingly the focus of the day in the backfield on Tuesday, getting plenty of work and busting a few impressive runs, according to SI.com's John Shipley. Meanwhile, Shipley says that fellow RB Tank Bigsby continued his strong training camp and made it to the second level of the defense a few times. Most folks are expecting Bigsby to take over Jacksonville's backfield in 2025 after running for a career-low 558 yards and two touchdowns in 15 starts in 2024 after going over the 1,000-yard rushing mark in his first two seasons. That could very well be the case, but Etienne also isn't going away anytime soon as long as he remains with the Jags. The former first-rounder should be a better scheme fit in head coach Liam Coen's offense, but the presence of Bigsby also probably caps his fantasy upside as an RB3/flex.
