Who Should I Start? Travis Etienne Jr. or Ray Davis

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.

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis hauled in two receptions, including a touchdown against the Falcons in Week 6. Despite his season-high production, Davis remains strictly a handcuff for James Cook, as he has seen less than three touches in every game outside of the team's Week 2 blowout of the Jets. Davis accounts for just 7% of the team's rushing attempts this season, and has been targeted just four times in the passing game. Expect to see a hard-fought matchup with a stingy Panthers defense that will likely keep the Bills starters on the field throughout the game, making Davis nothing more than a handcuff for Cook.
