Who Should I Start? Travis Etienne or Tyler Allgeier

Sunday, November 26, 7:55 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. rushed 20 times for 56 yards, adding four receptions on six targets for 30 yards in a win at Houston. On a day where the Texans clamped down on the ground game it was promising to see Etienne still draw six targets in the game, which was tied for third on the team with Calvin Ridley. The former first-round pick received multiple carries inside the ten-yard line but wasn't able to convert any of them into points. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence also vultured yet another touchdown from Etienne, punching in a score from one yard out in the second quarter. It wasn't the performance that fantasy managers hoped against a vulnerable Houston rush defense, but Etienne continues to see top-level utilization in this offense which makes him an easy RB1 start every week.

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier began the season splitting the backfield duties with rookie Bijan Robinson. However, it appears the Falcons are finally ready to let Robinson loose and he has been making the most of it. That means, Allgeier will become the No. 2 option and see a reduced role going forward. On Sunday, Allgeier rushed 10 times for 64 yards in the win over the New Orleans Saints. A majority of his carries came in the fourth quarter as the Falcons were just trying to run out the clock. He did average 6.4 yards per carry, but the volume is going to be the biggest concern going forward. Fantasy managers should consider Allgeier a touchdown-dependent RB3 heading into next week's matchup against the New York Jets.
