Fantasy Football Player Notes

After all the shade thrown Etienne's way in the draft season, he has been one of the best RBs in fantasy. Sitting as the RB7, he has had over 12 fantasy points in all but four games this season. With Baysul Tuten recovering from a hand injury, Etienne will continue to dominate touches. This week, they face the Colts, whose defense was embarrassed by the 49ers last Monday Night. The Jaguars are rolling and should be able to have their way in this matchup. Etienne remains a RB1 to close out the season.

Audric Estime was the Saints' lead back last week, and he'll reprise the role again this week. Unfortunately, the starting role didn't amount to much for Estime last week. He played 57.7% of the snaps with only eight touches and 36 total yards. Taysom Hill essentially operated as the team's "real" starting running back. Last week was essentially "it" if Estime was going to pay off as a flex play. Sit him this week. Since Week 12, Tennessee has allowed the third-fewest rushing yards per game, the sixth-lowest explosive run rate, and the tenth-lowest missed tackle rate.
