News: 5 days agoEtienne rushed the ball 12 times for 28 yards in Sunday's 25-3 win over the Titans. He added one reception on one target for 13 yards.

Spin: The Jaguars dominated the game on the scoreboard, but their offensive showing wasn't all that impressive. The running game was the primary culprit, as Etienne matched his lowest yards-per-rush mark of the season, and his longest gain on the ground went for only six yards. The lone positive was that he worked as the clear lead back ahead of Bhayshul Tuten, though Etienne did cede several carries around the goal line to the rookie.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Etienne enters his first contract year with eyes on a bounce-back following a rough 2024. After clearing 1,400 yards in both 2022 and 2023 (finishing third among RBs in touches and fantasy points in the latter), Etienne plummeted to career-low marks in touches, yards and TDs last season. After finding the end zone in Weeks 1 and 2, he went without a TD or a fantasy point total above 14.8 the rest of the season. He's still in his prime at age 26, but Etienne's efficiency has been weak two seasons in a row and he's no longer a lock for lead-back duties, with Tank Bigsby ticketed for a big role and fourth-round rookie Bhayshul Tuten now in the mix. Perhaps new coach Liam Coen can get things turned around, but Etienne is best viewed as a bench flier.
