Travis Etienne Jr.

Travis Etienne ran for 74 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries, with 75.0% of his attempts coming outside the tackles, tying a season high. Etienne rushed for 55 yards across 15 outside carries, along with one TD, while his remaining five carries between the tackles produced 19 yards and his second touchdown (Next Gen Stats). Played 72% of the snaps.
Bhayshul Tuten got hurt early in this game on a kickoff return - although he did return. He also fumbled twice - once on the kickoff return and on one of his few carries (recovered by the Colts). Tough scene for the rookie RB - who did struggle with fumbles in college. The Jets are a layup after their mass exodus of players before the NFL trade deadline - Travis Etienne could flirt with RB1 overall status in Week 15

Travis Etienne has quietly been the RB11 on the season. With five top 12 finishes over his last six games, Etienne continues to be a great value for fantasy managers. With Bayshul Tuten fumbling early last game, Etienne played his most snaps of the season with 72%. Out of college, Tuten had fumbling issues, giving Etienne even more confidence with the coaches. This week, he faces the Jets, who are allowing the second-most fantasy points to RBs over the last five weeks. There is always a chance that Tuten steals the goal-line work, but Etienne remains a locked-in, low-end RB1 this week.
