Who Should I Start? Travis Etienne or Brian Robinson Jr.

Thursday, November 30, 12:01 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said running back Travis Etienne Jr. (chest) is "day-to-day" but is doing well. Etienne will be at practice on Thursday, but it's unclear how much he'll actually do. The Jaguars don't play until Monday night in Week 13 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Etienne's status is worth watching, but as of now, it doesn't appear that his injury will put him in danger of sitting out this week. The 24-year-old briefly left the Week 12 win over the Houston Texans in the first half but later returned and finished with 56 rushing yards on 20 carries and 30 receiving yards on four receptions. As long as he's active, Etienne is a must-start in fantasy as Jacksonville's lead back. If Etienne is limited at all or out on Monday, D'Ernest Johnson and Tank Bigsby would likely split backfield work.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. rushed 15 times for 53 yards during Thursday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He also caught two of three targets for an additional 11 yards through the air. Given that Dallas has been dominant against running backs this season, fantasy managers shouldn't be too frustrated with Robinson's final line. With that said, he'll look for increased success in a potentially more favorable matchup against the Miami Dolphins next week.
