BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team PPR Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX
ANALYSIS: It's been a tumultuous season for Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. as well as the rest of the team. Their starting quarterback, Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) won't play this week, and they're facing the Detroit Lions, who have one of the toughest run defenses in the NFL.
Willingly putting Travis Etienne in my fantasy lineup in Week 11 https://t.co/5toUyuNOCJ

RB Tank Bigsby (ankle) is also set to miss this contest, meaning Etienne should have a larger role in the backfield. While we recommend starting him in deeper leagues, it's purely because of his pass-catching upside. A stat line of 10 rushes for 30 yards and five catches for 20 yards still counts for 10 PPR fantasy points, which is serviceable in deeper leagues.
But the Jags could see themselves getting absolutely demolished by a healthier and far more talented Lions squad. ETN may not have many rush opportunities, and he could get stuffed on most of them. He hasn't looked anything like his 2023 self this year, and that could be due to injury, but he's a very risky start this week.
It's a nightmare matchup, he's on a nightmarishly bad offense without its starting QB, and the defense could be gashed by the opposing team, leading to a pass-heavy game script. You're praying for PPR scam points if you start him.
