Travis Etienne was a rather divisive running back last offseason. The rhetoric coming out of Jacksonville made it seem that the coaching staff wanted to take work off of his plate and have a committee in the backfield. Things played out in the complete opposite direction. Etienne garnered 325 touches, third most among running backs. His 73 percent snap share also ranked third.
The Jaguars clearly like Etienne as a talent and did not make a significant addition to their stable of running backs, making it reasonable to expect that Etienne will see high-end usage once again in 2024. He could very easily be one of the league leaders in touches.
Etienne's fantasy output could also improve with increased efficiency. The Jaguars' offensive line sustained several injuries last season, leading to the line being shuffled around multiple times. Poor blocking led to an abysmal 3.8 yards per carry for Etienne. This was a significant step back from the 5.1 YPC he posted in 2022. Increased efficiency along with a big workload could allow Etienne to finish as a top-five RB this season.

 Tank Bigsby ruled Out for Week 11
Ankle injury

FFToday's Take: Bigsby missed practice all week with an ankle injury and has been ruled Out for Week 11. That will put Travis Etienne back in the lead back role while D'Ernest Johnson (hamstring) works as the backup. This is a bad matchup and game environment for the Jaguars who are 14-point underdogs to Detroit. Etienne can be considered a weak RB2.
| Both Etienne and Bigsby likely to play
Jags have numerous injuries on offense
By: Mike Krueger | Sun Nov 3, 2:09 am
| | #Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby (ankle) and RB Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) are both likely to play today, barring a setback, sources say.
It's the same for WR Brian Thomas Jr. (chest), though Gabe Davis (shoulder) appears to be more of a long-shot. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: The Jaguars are dealing with a number of injuries to their offensive personnel but it sounds like both running backs will be active which caps their ceiling. With Gabe Davis likely to miss, expect Parker Washington to get more looks this week against the Eagles who are giving up the 10th most fantasy points to wide receivers.
