This time last year, Travis Etienne was considered a low-end RB1 fantasy option. Today, he is a player with lower expectations at a discount price. Part of it is the degree to which he struggled last year, posting the lowest rushing yards, rushing attempts, rushing TDs, and receiving yards of his career. Couple that with the emergence of Tank Bigsby and the all-of-a-sudden crowded RB room in Jacksonville and you can see why the bloom is starting to dull on Etienne. And if that wasn't enough, there are trade whispers surrounding Etienne.
What does that mean in the fantasy world? It means Etienne should not be considered a starting option. It means, at best, he's a depth piece with low upside. Perhaps the only hope is he finds a new home in a better situation, but I'm not sure how much comfort that might bring. If Etienne stays put, there are some who may look at how new head coach Liam Coen used Bucky Irving and Rachaad White in Tampa Bay last year. The duo combined for more than 1,700 rushing yards, 11 rushing TDs, and 98 receptions. As the only experienced RB on the team with receiving ability, that might seem enticing. But too many questions remain for me to advise relying on Etienne in 2025.
