Travis Etienne Jr.’s Fantasy Outlook
It hasn’t been a work of art, but Etienne is one of just four players with a rushing touchdown and 3+ targets in both games this year (Rhamondre Stevenson, Alvin Kamara, and Kyren Williams being the others).
We saw him give away work to Tank Bigsby during the season opener, but his backup was injured (shoulder) on a kick return last week and his status is in question after he put in a limited effort on Thursday.
We’ve seen Etienne showcase versatility over the course of his first two seasons, and I think he’s going to need it in this spot. Look for him to post solid RB2 numbers, potentially thriving in the traditional ground game against a Bills team that rarely packs the line of scrimmage.
