Travis Etienne Jr. Week 18 Outlook - Titans at Jaguars

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sun, Jan 8th 2023, 12:05pm EST

Last week's playing time should be taken with a grain of salt, as the Jaguars did not need to run their star back into the ground while trouncing the Texans. In Weeks 13-16, Etienne played 71-88% of the snaps averaging 19.8 touches and 84.3 total yards. Etienne ranks 16th in weighted opportunities, third in red zone touches, and 19th in opportunity share. He's a big play waiting to happen, ranking 18th in yards per route run, 14th in yards created per touch, and fourth in breakaway runs. Etienne won't be a popular play this week against a Tennessee run defense that, since Week 12, has been third in rushing success rate and fourth in EPA per rush. Where Etienne could have a productive day is in the receiving department. Tennessee has allowed the sixth-most receptions to running backs while ranking 19th in receiving yards. Etienne has three targets in four of his last five games.
