Travis Etienne Jr. Stock Slipping?

Thursday, October 23, 9:17 AM

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.

Jaydon Blue Should Remain Off of Fantasy Radars in Week 7

Saturday, October 18, 12:36 PM

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Jaydon Blue has seen his first NFL game action over the last two weeks, but he's yet to play a significant role in the team's offense. Through two games, Blue has recorded seven rushing yards on seven carries and has not been targeted by Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. With veteran Cowboys back Miles Sanders (knee, ankle) on Injured Reserve, Blue figures to have an extended run as the team's RB2 behind Javonte Williams. Still, it would appear that the team does not currently trust Blue to do much beyond give Williams the occasional play off. That seems unlikely to change in a crucial divisional matchup in Week 7 against the Washington Commanders. Blue maintains long-term fantasy appeal as a handcuff, but he's not startable for fantasy managers in Week 7.
