The Jacksonville Jaguars will visit the Houston Texans in Week 10. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Travis Etienne Jr..
Is Etienne Playing in Week 10?
Etienne is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Jaguars’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Etienne in Week 10?
Volume is valuable, but it doesn’t always carry with it tremendous upside.
Travis Etienne had 22 carries and caught all five targets against the Raiders, usage that is nearly impossible to avoid.
I was underwhelmed by the performance (84 rush yards) and discouraged by the Bhayshul Tuten touchdown, but the workload isn’t going anywhere and that locks him into your lineup, whether you like it or not.
Sunday was his fourth game with at least 16 carries, one of which came in Week 3 against these Texans (56 yards and a touchdown). He also has six games with at least three targets, and that creates a valuable 10-point floor.
That said, I could not be less interested in DFS formats. No running back has posted a 20-point game against the Texans this season, and in four of the past six games, the opposing team didn’t see an RB score 12 PPR points.
