Travis Etienne Jr. Is A Risky Flex Option In Week 5
2 years agoJacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. is a risky flex option in Week 5 versus the Houston Texans. The second-year running back out-snapped James Robinson in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles and both running backs on the Jaguars received eight attempts. That being said, Robinson will likely return to seeing more carries on Sunday in a home game where the Jaguars are favored over the Texans. There's a chance that Jacksonville attempts to get Etienne more involved this week if they're able to seize control of the game, giving him a chance to have his best performance this season. On the other hand, he's yet to score a touchdown with Robinson getting the goal-line work and he hasn't had enough usage in the passing game to make him a safe play.
