BALLER MOVE: Sit
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4
ANALYSIS: It's been a long fall from grace for Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring), from losing his job as the primary rusher, being part of a 2-7 team, dealing with multiple injuries, and now headed for a nightmare matchup with the surging Minnesota Vikings defense.

To add to this, the Jags will be without their starting quarterback, Trevor Lawrence (shoulder), who has a left shoulder injury and won't be available in Week 10. They'll have to trot out Mac Jones against one of the best defenses in the league. Minnesota is also one of the best teams against the run in the NFL.

Jacksonville is banged up. In addition, backup Tank Bigsby and primarily pass-catching back D'Ernest Johnson will compete with ETN with touches. There is very little going for No. 1 or his entire team. This game is expected to be a blowout.
The Vikings have their elite tight end T.J. Hockenson back, quarterback Sam Darnold is playing well, their elite wide receiver Justin Jefferson and second-string wideout Jordan Addison are healthy. They may put up a ton of points on the Jags, meaning JAX could be forced to abandon the run early.
And MIN's defense will be the healthiest it's been since Week 1, especially if their star linebacker, Ivan Pace Jr. (knee) is able to go. There are levels of this nightmare, multiple tiers of darkness the team is descending into, and a litany of reasons to think ETN should not be in starting lineups.
