Who Should I Start? Travis Etienne or Khalil Herbert

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. produced 138 scrimmage yards in the loss against Houston on Sunday. The feature back took 19 carries for 88 yards, adding four receptions for 50 yards. The yardage marks were both season highs, as Etienne accounted for 34% of the Jaguars total offensive output. He didn't have the monster game fantasy managers were looking for, but still came through and produced an all-around solid performance even with the Jaguars struggling on offense yet again. While this team still has a lot to figure out, Etienne is the unquestioned bellcow and will continue to get almost all of the backfield touches, keeping him at low-end RB1 status. He heads to London next week to take on the Falcons.

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert will look to spark the Bears woeful offense from the backfield in Week 3 against the Chiefs. Chicago's offense has looked inept through the first two games and Herbert has seen only 16 carries to open the season. He has produced 122 total yards thus far but will face a Chiefs defensive line that has been stingy early in the season. Through two games, Kansas City has allowed the 10th fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs across the league. Herbert has talent but the offense he plays in makes him, no higher, than an RB3 play in Week 3.
