Should You Start or Sit Travis Etienne in Week 11?
Travis Etienne Jr. was on the field for 67.4% of Jacksonville’s offensive snaps last week, his first game north of 50% since September. The fantasy box score (43 yards on 12 touches) looks much different if his one-yard TD plunge isn’t overturned, but that is the nature of doing business in an offense like this.
Tank Bigsby is dealing with an ankle injury that continues to pull him out of games for extended stretches, and that opens up the door for fringe Flex-worthy volume. If Bigsby is limited, Etienne’s versatility could prove very valuable in a spot where the Jags figure to be playing from behind from the jump.
I don’t love the fact that he doesn’t have a game with more than 13 carries this season, as the team has seemed unwilling to commit to the run, but if Bigsby’s injury forces their hand, I could be talked into moving Etienne inside of my top 25.
