Who Should I Start? Travis Etienne or Terrace Marshall Jr.

Wednesday, February 28, 2:04 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr.'s 325 touches last year were third-most in the NFL for a RB, but head coach Doug Pederson said that Etienne as a workhorse back "is not the recipe" he prefers. Pederson mentioned that D'Ernest Johnson was injured in 2023, and Tank Bigsby was learning as a rookie. The head coach said he'd consider knocking some of Etienne's reps down next season in order to keep him healthy over the course of the year. All in all, the 25-year-old topped 1,000 rushing yards for the second time in his two NFL seasons, and he also improved as a pass-catcher with 58 catches for 476 yards. Etienne will remain the Jaguars' lead back and will be an RB1 target for fantasy managers, but you'll need to keep in mind that if the team has it their way, Etienne's total touches will be managed more.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. (coach's decision) is inactive for the second consecutive week. He won't suit up on Sunday versus the Tennessee Titans. Marshall has appeared in eight games this season, primarily serving as a depth option while logging 18 catches for 134 yards. The former second-round pick hasn't panned out through three years in Carolina. He can be dropped to waivers in all redraft formats and most dynasty leagues.
