Travis Etienne

Etienne's 2024 season was a disaster, making him one of the biggest fantasy busts of the year. There might not be much to make of the season, though. The Jaguars' collapse under the stale direction of Doug Pederson and Press Taylor was memorable and rare – it isn't often that you see a team unable to execute basic operations like the Jaguars under Pederson in 2024. Schematically, there probably won't be much in common between the 2024 offense under Taylor and the 2025 version under Liam Coen. The burst of Bucky Irving became a primary theme in Coen's Tampa Bay offense, and while fellow Jaguars runner Tank Bigsby can provide power functions, it's clearly Etienne who more closely resembles Irving. Not just that, but Etienne has the speed to break even bigger runs than Irving might have in the same situation. The problem for this comparison pops up when you look at the Jacksonville offensive line, which is patchy at best. The Jaguars will need to get their trenches in order, and Etienne will need to stay healthy after playing through a hamstring tweak for an unspecified number of weeks in 2024. There's also some chance Coen becomes enamored with rookie fourth-round pick Bhayshul Tuten, whose 4.32 40 time makes him one of the few RBs in the league who is clearly faster than Etienne.
