Travis Etienne Jr. Still A High-End RB1 Vs. Texans

Wednesday, September 20, 9:52 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. gets a sweet Week 3 matchup against the Texans after disappointing fantasy owners last Sunday. Etienne opened the season on a positive note with 21.4 PPR points in Week 1, but stalled last game in an all-around disappointing effort from the entire Jags offense. The Houston defense has been the cure-all for running back woes the past couple of years and that hasn't changed through two games. Fantasy afterthought Zack Moss ran for 88 yards and a touchdown (4.9 YPC) on them last week, so Etienne owners should be salivating at the potential for an eruption in this one. Lock in the former first-round pick as a top-five back this week.

Kenneth Walker III News

Kenneth Walker III Scores Twice Against Detroit

Monday, September 18, 6:24 AM

Kenneth Walker III led the Seattle Seahawks running back room in touches once again, albeit without his trademark efficiency. Walker carried the ball 17 times for 43 yards and caught one pass for another 11 yards in Seattle's Week 2 win over the Detroit Lions. His 2.5 yards per carry on Sunday pales in comparison to the 4.6 YPC he posted in his rookie season last year, but two of his rushing attempts resulted in a touchdown. Seattle's other active running backs, Zach Charbonnet and DeeJay Dallas, combined for just five carries. Walker seems to have a firm grip on his place at the top of the Seahawks' depth chart. He will face the Carolina Panthers in Week 3.
