BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Anyone who has Travis Etienne contained on their rosters has benefitted significantly since he commandeered lead-back responsibilities for the Jaguars. He had averaged 14.8 carries.82,2 yards per game from Weeks 3-11, and was third overall with an average of 103.3 yards per game from Weeks 8-11.
Etienne’s ability to flourish with an extensive workload had provided fantasy managers with a highly productive resource. However, the foot injury that he sustained in the first quarter of Jacksonville's Week 12 matchup with Baltimore precluded him from delivering another prolific outing.
JaMycal Hasty instantly became Jacksonville’s primary back following Etienne’s exit, and the third-year-back responded by assembling 95 total yards on 17 touches, including 67 yards with his five receptions.
Even though there is also justification for prioritizing Henderson from this week’s waiver wire, Hasty’s performance in Week 12 has elevated him among this week’s top options.
Any continued absence for Etienne would position Hasty to function as Jacksonville's RB1 when the Jaguars visit Detroit in Week 13. He would minimally operate as the team's pass-catching back if he shares touches with Darrell Henderson. That should incentivize fantasy managers to target Hasty from this week’s waiver wire.
