Bottom Line

Etienne was the focal point of the Jaguars offense last season and had the best year of his career. Not only was he extremely efficient rushing the ball, but he finally showed his receiving potential.

Etienne has been the model of health and consistency since his rookie year. His role shouldn’t change much in 2024.

Expect RB1 numbers again this season with upside to be a top-five performer.

What We Learned Last Year

  • Etienne’s 1,008 rushing yards ranked 11th among RBs. His 58 catches ranked sixth at the position.
  • He missed no games due to injury. He has not missed a game since 2021.
  • Etienne ranked as the PPR RB3 in total fantasy points and RB7 in points per game.
    • He finished RB12 or better six times. He recorded four games between RB13 and RB24.
  • He ranked 40th among all ball carriers in rushing success rate at 43.1%.
  • He played 73% of the Jaguars offensive snaps last season.
  • His per-game averages:
    • 15.7 carries
    • 59.3 rushing yards
    • 0.65 rushing TDs
    • 4.29 targets
    • 3.41 catches
    • 28.0 receiving yards
    • 0.06 receiving TDs
  • Etienne was a fairly effective runner in 2023. Among 51 RBs with 90+ carries last year, he ranked:
    • 9th in Pro Football Focus rushing grade (78.4)
    • 10th in PFF’s Elusive Rating (77.7)
    • 38th in NFL Next Gen Stats’ Rush Yards Over Expected Per Attempt
  • He was also solid in receiving metrics. Among 59 RBs with 20+ targets, Etienne ranked
    • 15th in PFF receiving grade
    • 23rd in yards per route run

What to Expect in 2024

  • Etienne enters his third season with the Jaguars under HC Doug Pederson and OC Press Taylor.
  • Jacksonville only added fifth-round rookie Keilan Robinson to the backfield. Tank Bigsby returns after an ugly rookie season.
  • The Jaguars are expected to perform similarly to last season. They are tied for the second-highest win total in the AFC South at 8.5 wins on most sportsbooks.
  • They sit 17th in terms of highest Super Bowl odds at +5000 on most sportsbooks, second-highest in the division.
  • Etienne enters his fourth season at 25 years old. According to our aging curve research, the average RB with Etienne’s career and profile will produce at 97% of his peak value at age-25.

Zay Jones, WR ARI

10:54am EST 12/31/23

Zay Jones won't play Week 17

Jaguars WR Zay Jones (knee, hamstring) won't play vs. the Panthers today, according to CBS' Aditi Kinkhabwala. That'll leave WRs Parker Washington, Jamal Agnew, and Tim Jones behind top dog Calvin Ridley. We're expecting a run-heavy game plan from Jacksonville today with QB C.J. Beathard at the helm.

ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that Jaguars RB Travis Etienne (ribs) is expected to play vs. the Browns today. He played through this issue in Monday night's loss to the Bengals and was never in danger of missing this one. Etienne's fantasy stock got a slight boost with QB Trevor Lawrence now likely to play today.

The Jaguars are "planning" for QB Trevor Lawrence to start today's game vs. the Browns, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Lawrence's ankle will be evaluated in pregame warmups before a final decision is made. He's just six days removed from a high-ankle sprain but got in two limited practices to close the week and is "feeling better than expected," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It's still tough to imagine that Lawrence will have much mobility inside or out of the pocket. Throw in the matchup against Cleveland's sixth-ranked QB defense, and Lawrence is not a recommended starter in 1-QB fantasy leagues. His availability is good news for Jacksonville's skill-position players, though.

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne (ribs) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Browns. He played through this issue in Monday night’s loss to the Bengals and is fully expected to play this weekend. It’s a reminder, though, that Etienne is not at 100%.

Jaguars HC Doug Pederson said Friday morning that QB Trevor Lawrence (ankle) will be listed as questionable and "probably" be a game-time decision for Sunday's tilt with the Browns. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that Lawrence looked good throwing on Thursday and that "no one is counting him out" for this weekend's game. We'll continue to keep you updated on the situation. A gimpy Lawrence vs. a tough Cleveland defense in a game with potentially bad weather wouldn't be a recommended QB1 play. But his presence would be good news for Jacksonville's skill-position players.

Update: Lawrence was limited again in Friday's practice and is officially listed as questionable.
