Trevor Etienne Jr. Underperforms In Week 5 Against Texans
Jacksonville Jaguars...Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. had a quiet day, rushing for just 50 yards on 11 carries in a 24-20 loss to the Houston Texans. He also added one catch for 10 yards. Etienne Jr. wasn't that involved in the running game or the passing game, as he was outshined by Tank Bigsby, similar to Week 1. A big pull for fantasy managers to draft the Clemson product in the early rounds was his potential volume, but through four games, that just hasn't materialized. The Jaguars have been losing in most of their games, meaning more passing situations, and Bigsby is cutting into some of his work. In weeks where he doesn't score a touchdown, Etienne Jr. may struggle to prove his worth to fantasy managers going forward. While the Jaguars running back is still a good start in Week 5 against the Indianapolis Colts, it is clear his upside is far lower than what fantasy managers expected heading into the season.
