Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Cleared after limited practices
Rotowire
Etienne (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Etienne and Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) have both been cleared after logging three limited practice sessions. Etienne has worked ahead of Tuten for most of the season, but they split the backfield workload nearly evenly in Jacksonville's Week 11 win over the Chargers prior to Tuten's exit from the game in the second half. Jacksonville has found success with a run-heavy approach in recent weeks, and the Jaguars are unlikely to deviate from that game plan against a Cardinals team that has allowed five total touchdowns to running backs over the past two weeks.

Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Limited Thursday, same as Tuten
Rotowire
Etienne (shoulder) was listed as limited at practice Thursday.
Etienne didn't take contact at Thursday's practice so a second consecutive limited designation was expected. Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) was also listed as limited both Wednesday and Thursday after splitting carries with Etienne in Jacksonville's Week 11 win over the Chargers. Whether either running back upgrades to full participation Friday could play a significant role in determining which Jaguar gets the lion's share of carries Sunday against Arizona's struggling defense.

Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Taking part in non-contact practice
Rotowire
Etienne (shoulder) is handling non-contact reps at Thursday's practice, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Etienne appears set to log as second consecutive limited practice to begin Week 12 preparations, meaning his status will need to be closely monitored leading up to Sunday's road matchup against the Patriots. Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) was also limited Wednesday, and before the rookie was forced out versus the Chargers in Week 11 due to injury he and Etienne had split backfield reps nearly evenly.

Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Limited at Wednesday's practice
Rotowire
Etienne (shoulder) and Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) both were limited participants in practice Wednesday.
The two running backs worked in a near-even split until Tuten left Sunday's 35-6 win over the Chargers with an ankle injury. Etienne apparently also picked up an injury along the way, which may or may not be part of the reason that Tuten had a much larger role relative to recent weeks. Whatever the case, Etienne was never announced with an injury during the game and played into the fourth quarter before handing things over to passing-down specialist LeQuint Allen in garbage time. Wednesday's practice report suggests all may be available Week 12 at Arizona.

Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Pair of rush TDs in win
Rotowire
Etienne rushed 19 times for 73 yards and two touchdowns and failed to bring in either of his two targets in the Jaguars' 35-6 win over the Chargers on Sunday.
Etienne was sharing plenty of work with Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) early on , but the latter ended up exiting the contest due to injury. That opened up more opportunity for Etienne, who contributed two- and 13-yard scoring runs for his first multi-TD game of the season. Etienne's yardage total was also his second highest since Week 4, and he could be in for a significant workload in a Week 12 road matchup against the Cardinals.

Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Contrarian DFS Play
Rotowire
Etienne remains one of the most underrated running backs in Fantasy. He has 47 opportunities in the Jaguars' two games since the bye, and his recent pass game involvement insulates him from a bad game script. He has 21 targets in his last five games, and the Chargers have given up 23 catches to running backs in their last five games.

Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Gets into end zone in loss
Rotowire
Etienne carried the ball 16 times for 58 yards and a touchdown and caught two of four targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 36-29 loss to the Texans.
The fourth-year RB produced the Jaguars' last score of the afternoon on a six-yard run in the third quarter, giving the team a 29-10 lead that shockingly evaporated in the fourth. Etienne ended a four-game TD drought in the process, and on the season he's amassed 786 scrimmage yards and four total touchdowns (three rushing, one receiving) through nine contests. He'll look to keep rolling in Week 11 against the Chargers.

Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Largest workload in 2025
Rotowire
Etienne took 22 carries for 84 yards while hauling in all five of his targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 30-29 overtime win over Las Vegas.
Etienne experienced his largest workload to date in 2025 by setting new season highs in carries and receptions Sunday. The increased volume did not result in his finest fantasy performance, however, after backup Bhayshul Tuten and QB Trevor Lawrence combined to vulture three rushing scores from Jacksonville's starting tailback. It was still a solid overall showing from Etienne, who will continue spearheading the Jaguars' rushing attack against the Texans next Sunday.

Jaguars' Travis Etienne: RBs to Start
Rotowire
Etienne struggled going into his bye in Week 8 with 9.5 PPR points or less in his three previous games, but that was against some of the best run defenses in Kansas City, Seattle and the Rams. Prior to that, Etienne scored at least 16.9 PPR points in three of his first four games, and I'm hoping we get that level of performance against the Raiders. A running back has scored at least 13.1 PPR points against Las Vegas in four of the past five games, with eight touchdowns over that span, and I like Etienne as a solid No. 2 Fantasy running back in all leagues for Week 9.

Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Just nine touches Sunday
Rotowire
Etienne carried the ball eight times for 44 yards and caught one of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 35-7 loss to the Rams.
While the fourth-year back was effective with his touches, Etienne got phased out of the game plan in the second half after the Jaguars fell behind 21-0 before halftime. Heading into the team's Week 8 bye, Etienne sports an impressive 594 scrimmage yards and three total TDs through seven contests.

Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Stymied in Week 6 loss
Rotowire
Etienne rushed 12 times for 27 yards and brought in four of five targets for 28 yards in the Jaguars' 20-12 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.
Etienne was absolutely stonewalled on the ground by a talented Seahawks front seven, although he was able to partly atone for the shortfall with a solid day through the air that saw him post new season highs in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The fifth-year back now has back-to-back 12-carry tallies after opening the season with at least 14 rush attempts in each of the first four games, but he remains the Jaguars' unquestioned No. 1 back and next faces a Rams defense that was gashed by the Ravens' Derrick Henry in Week 6.

Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Tallies 58 total yards in win
Rotowire
Etienne rushed 12 times for 49 yards and brought in three of four targets for nine yards in the Jaguars' 31-28 win over the Chiefs on Monday night.
Etienne logged his lowest carry total of the campaign, which also led to a new low-water mark in rushing yards. The talented back also failed to record a double-digit-yardage run for the first time in five contests, but he reemerged in the passing game to an extent after mustering just a single reception for one yard on four targets in the previous pair of contests. Etienne draws another challenging matchup when the Seahawks pay a visit for a Week 6 interconference matchup Sunday afternoon.

Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Rips through 49ers' defense Sunday
Rotowire
Etienne took 19 carries for 124 yards and a touchdown while adding one reception for one yard in Sunday's 26-21 win over San Francisco.
Etienne produced his finest fantasy score of the season after gashing the 49ers' defense for a 48-yard touchdown on the first play following a turnover at the start of the second quarter. The 26-year-old did not let up from there, taking 19 of the 23 carries the Jaguars allotted to running backs for his second 100-plus yard rushing game of the season. After falling out of favor in 2024, Etienne has reclaimed the Jaguars' starting job under new head coach Liam Coen on efficiency (6.1 YPC) we haven't seen since his impressive rookie campaign in 2021. Jacksonville faces a tough Kansas City defense on Monday Night Football in Week 5, but Etienne's early success this season makes him a must-start asset.

Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Salvages day with TD
Rotowire
Etienne rushed 16 times for 56 yards and a touchdown and failed to bring in either of his two targets in the Jaguars' 17-10 win over the Texans on Sunday.
Etienne found running room at a premium against a talented Texans front, but he was able to rescue fantasy managers from a washout by recording a 10-yard touchdown run with just under two minutes remaining. The score, Etienne's first on the ground in 2025, delivered what would prove to be the game-winning points. Etienne has seen his rushing yardage total drop in each of the last two contests after opening the season with a 143-yard effort against the Panthers, a trend he'll aim to reverse in a Week 4 road interconference clash against the 49ers.

Jaguars' Travis Etienne: RBs to Start
Rotowire
Etienne is going to share touches with Bhayshul Tuten, who is worth using as a sleeper in deeper leagues, but I like Etienne as a No. 2 Fantasy running back in all formats. He's scored at least 16.9 PPR points in each of his first two games against Carolina and Cincinnati, and he has at least 16 total touches in each outing, with five total receptions. The Texans have allowed three running backs to score at least 13.9 PPR points through two games, and Bucky Irving and Rachaad White just combined for eight receptions for 51 yards on eight targets against Houston in Week 2.

Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Rings up receiving TD in loss
Rotowire
Etienne rushed 14 times for 71 yards and brought in two of three targets for 18 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' 31-27 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.
Etienne went a long way toward proving his breakout Week 1 performance was no fluke, as he averaged 5.1 yards per carry while comfortably pacing the Jaguars in rush attempts and rushing yards. The versatile veteran also made his mark as a receiver via an 11-yard touchdown catch with just over four minutes remaining in the third quarter, his first score of any kind in the new season. With ex-backfield mate Tank Bigsby now in Philadelphia, Etienne looks entrenched as the clear-cut No. 1 back in head coach Liam Coen's productive offense going into a Week 3 home divisional matchup against the Texans next Sunday.

Jaguars' Travis Etienne: RBs to Start
Rotowire
Etienne was impressive in Week 1 against Carolina with 16 carries for 143 yards and three catches for 13 yards on three targets. He scored 18.6 PPR points, which was his best game since Week 17 of 2023. The Jaguars traded Tank Bigsby on Monday, and now Etienne could get even more work, although I do love the long-term potential for Bhayshul Tuten. For this week, Etienne should be considered a standout No. 2 Fantasy running back in all leagues.

Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Sleeper RBs
Rotowire
We're waiting to see what's going to happen with this backfield when it comes to Etienne, Tank Bigsby, Bhayshul Tuten, and LeQuint Allen Jr., but it appears like Etienne will get the chance to lead the way against Carolina in Week 1. Coach Liam Coen said, "We've got to use him as a guy that can help make plays." I'll trust Etienne as a flex option in all leagues against the Panthers, who were No. 1 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs last year.

Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Gets second drive after Bigsby
Rotowire
Etienne rushed three times for 24 yards and caught his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 17-17 preseason tie against the Saints.
All four of Etienne's touches came on Jacksonville's second drive after Tank Bigsby played the first drive, though both possessions featured the rest of the team's healthy starters, including quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Etienne and Bigsby appear headed for a timeshare in the regular season, though rookie fourth-round pick Bhayshul Tuten is pushing to crack that rotation and helped his case by scoring a second-quarter touchdown with the backups Sunday. Etienne's standing in the Jaguars' backfield competition is unlikely to change in the team's preseason finale against the Dolphins on Saturday.

Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Serves as lead back
Rotowire
Etienne rushed the ball twice for six yards in Saturday's 31-25 preseason loss to the Steelers. He added one reception on one target for 10 yards.
Etienne was on the field for the Jaguars' first offensive drive along with the starting unit, their only drive of the contest. He played all 11 snaps, while neither Tank Bigsby nor Bhayshul Tuten saw the field. This usage won't necessarily carry forward to the regular season, but it certainly suggests that Etienne remains the Jaguars' primary running back.
