By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 28th 2023, 1:05pm EDT

Etienne has been the team's every down back. He's played at least 71% of the snaps in every game, averaging 20 touches and 94.6 total yards. Among 59 qualifying backs, Etienne ranks 27th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 19th in yards after contact per attempt. Among 45 qualifying receiving backs, he is ninth in route run per team dropback rate, 18th in Target share, and 15th in YPRR. Atlanta has been an exploitable run defense, giving up the 12th-highest explosive run rate while also logging the 14th-lowest stuff rate. The Falcons have given up the 11th-highest yards per carry to zone runs (Etienne 51% zone runs). Etienne is a must-start. Week 4 Positional Value: RB1
