Who Should I Start? Travis Etienne or Rachaad White

Monday, December 2, 10:50 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. continued to build on his underwhelming season against the Houston Texans in Week 13. He finished with 46 yards rushing on 13 carries and 12 yards receiving on three receptions. Another single-digit fantasy performance for the 25-year-old back means once again his fantasy managers are left regretting picking him in the second round of fantasy drafts. With Tank Bigsby questionable with an ankle injury heading into the week, Etienne Jr. had a chance to seize the starting role, but failed to stand out. While Bigsby only touched the ball half as much as Etienne Jr. did, he had a higher yards per carry (4.0 to 3.5) and longer longest run (19 to 9). The Jaguars face the Tennessee Titans in Week 14, where Etienne Jr. will most likely get a lower percentage of the backfield touches.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White has been non-existent on the ground throughout most of the season. In fact, White only had one 50-plus rushing performance on the season coming into Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Finally, White finds room to run as he rushes for 76 yards on 11 attempts during the overtime victory. To be fair, White got 38 on those yards on one carry which helped the Bucs get in position for the game-winning field goal. Fellow back Bucky Irving outshined White once again and continues to pull away as the top dog in Tampa Bay. White is falling into flex appeal for next week's matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders.
