2026 Fantasy Outlook
Travis' brother didn't enter the NFL with the same kind of hype, getting plucked by the Panthers with a fourth-round pick in 2025 out of Georgia, and the younger Etienne was never able to establish himself in a backfield dominated by Rico Dowdle and Chuba Hubbard. Etienne saw just 20 carries all season, and only two of those came after Week 8, although he did average a respectable 4.7 yards per carry. He simply lacks plus traits, as his 4.42 40-yard is time is merely OK on a smaller 5-foot-8, 198-pound frame, and his elusiveness, burst and vision are similarly only slightly better than adequate. Etienne did lead Carolina in kickoff return yards, although his 23.6 yards per return was below league average. While Dowdle is now in Pittsburgh, Hubbard remains to handle No. 1 duties, and 2024 second-round Jonathon Brooks is looking to make a comeback after injuries ruined his first two NFL campaigns. Etienne may have to settle for a depth role on offense and special teams once again. Read Past Outlooks

Behind Brooks on depth chart?
Etienne appears to be behind Chuba Hubbard and Jonathon Brooks on Carolina's depth chart, competing for a backup role while contributing on special teams, according to Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer.
ANALYSIS
A 2025 fourth-round pick, Etienne took just 23 touches on offense during his rookie season, getting far more work on special teams -- 20 punt returns for 163 yards, 31 kick returns for 733 yards while playing in all 17 regular-season games. He was one of the least effective return specialists in the league, so he'll need to compete for the kick and punt return jobs this summer. Perhaps there's also a competition for the No. 2 RB role behind Hubbard, though fantasy ADPs and early beat-writer reports both peg Brooks as a strong favorite. Behind Hubbard, Brooks and Etienne, the Panthers have veteran journeyman AJ Dillon and UDFAs Anthony Tyus and Miles Davis.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
Travis' brother doesn't have the same kind of breakaway speed, but the younger Etienne showed good contact balance, soft hands as a receiver and pass protection skills in college. Selected in the fourth round of the 2025 draft by the Panthers, he joins a crowded backfield that had already added Rice Dowdle in free agency to complement Chuba Hubbard, and which is still hoping to get something out of 2024 second-round pick Jonathon Brooks. Etienne's three-down versatility should help him win a roster spot, but he'll need injuries ahead of him to have a shot at a significant role.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Behind Brooks on depth chart
Etienne is behind both Chuba Hubbard and Jonathon Brooks on Carolina's running back depth chart, according to Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer.
ANALYSIS
It's no surprise that Hubbard is working ahead of Etienne, but the latter also appears to have fallen behind Brooks in the pecking order despite Brooks having played just three regular-season games since being drafted in the second round in 2024 due to a pair of ACL tears. Etienne had just 23 touches on offense in his rookie regular season after being drafted in the fourth round in 2025, though he also had 20 punt returns and 31 kickoff returns. His ability to contribute on special teams should allow Etienne to secure a roster spot, even if he fails to carve out much of a role on offense.
