Travis Etienne

One week removed from getting out-carried 18-4 by Tank Bigsby, Etienne turned the tables for a 14-11 advantage this afternoon. The overall touch battle was 18-11, while Etienne decisively won the snaps war. With this situation officially getting into silly season, it will be impossible to trust either Etienne or Tank Bigsby as a Week 16 RB2, though Etienne will be a high-variance FLEX in a plus matchup with the Raiders.

Bigsby also had a horrific fumble that ended up not going in the books thanks to a Jets penalty. Although Bigsby was out-touched "just" 18-11 by Travis Etienne, Etienne seemed to be on the field for far more snaps. It wasn't a game script sniping, as the Jags kept this one close throughout. The Jags, who seem to be making it up as they go along in the backfield, just decided Etienne was the better option today. Favorable game script should await again in Week 16 against the Raiders, but Bigsby isn't showing enough to be taken seriously as a FLEX.

Johnson remains a healthy scratch, leaving a one-two punch of Tank Bigsby and Travis Etienne in the backfield. Bigsby ran 18 times last week and is in line for an RB2 workload once again.

Bigsby shared a backfield rotation with Travis Etienne, getting the bulk of the carries while Etienne saw the greater pass-catching usage. He didn't break a big run with an inefficient 3.1 yards per carry, but ran hard through defenders all game. Bigsby's touchdown run saw him stiff-arm a Titans defender on an eight-yard scamper to give the Jaguars the lead and eventual win. With Bigsby's usage picking back up, the Jaguars backfield is a split. Bigsby is an RB3 play for Week 14 against the Jets.

The Jaguars' backfield split saw Etienne take receiving opportunities while Tank Bigsby dominated rushing opportunities. Etienne was the first running back into the game, but quickly ceded carries to Bigsby throughout the game. He was the target on multiple Mac Jones checkdowns, totaling 50 yards on four catches. With the Jags backfield continuing to look like a committee, Etienne's fantasy ceiling is capped. His receiving prowess makes Etienne a high-end RB3 for Week 14 against the Jets.
