Fantasy Football Player Notes

Travis Etienne is the RB16 in fantasy points per game, averaging 17.2 touches and 84.7 total yards. Among backs, he ranks 13th in snap share, 11th in weighted opportunities, and fourth in red zone touches. Among 55 qualifying backs, he ranks 29th in explosive run rate and 31st in yards after contact per attempt. Etienne has been a boring volume play pretty much the entire season, with his last 100-yard rushing game coming in Week 4, which feels like a lifetime ago. His passing game usage hasn't done much to help his ceiling and floor this season, as he has had more than four receptions or 30 receiving yards only once. Eitenne will need a touchdown and all the volume he can handle this week to walk away with a strong fantasy day. Since Week 9, Indy has allowed the third-lowest explosive run rate, the 12th-fewest rushing yards per game, the fourth-lowest missed tackle rate, and the fifth-fewest yards after contact per attempt.
