Travis Etienne's rushing inefficiency continues

Travis Etienne Headshot

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne managed just 56 yards on 20 carries in Sunday's win over the Texans. That marked his sixth straight outing with less than 4.0 yards per carry and the fourth straight game in which Etienne failed to score on the ground. He did still continue to dominate backfield work, handling 71.4% of Jacksonville's RB carries and 86.7% of total RB opportunities. That will keep Etienne a strong option for the Week 13 matchup with Cincinnati and in Week 17 against the Panthers. But three straight negative RB matchups lie in between: Cleveland, Baltimore and Tampa Bay. Etienne's workload will keep him in starter territory for most fantasy football teams for those weeks, but don't be afraid to sit him if you have stronger options.
