Jacksonville’s leading rusher could be looking for a change of scenery next season.
For the past few seasons, Kansas City has been listed as a dream landing spot for any productive running back with a pulse. It makes sense — the Chiefs haven’t had a 1,000-yard rusher since Kareem Hunt’s rookie year in 2017. However, that drought could be coming to an end. According to Kansas City Star beat writer Pete Sweeney, veteran Travis Etienne has interest in signing with the Chiefs once free agency starts.
The former first-round pick would bring some much-needed juice to the backfield. Etienne has three seasons with over 1,000 rushing yards under his belt and is coming off a highly productive 2025 season. The 27-year-old had 1,399 total yards, 36 receptions, and a career-high 13 TDs. In fantasy, a move to Kansas City would give Etienne clear RB1 upside in Andy Reid’s offense while playing alongside Patrick Mahomes.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Travis Etienne took repetitions from the wide receiver position during the team's three-day rookie minicamp over the weekend. "At the worst-case scenario, you have a running back with the skillset of a wide receiver," head coach Urban Meyer explained. ...
The Jacksonville Jaguars selected Clemson running back Travis Etienne with the 25th overall pick in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft on Thursday night. The Jags took Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence, as expected, with the No. 1 overall pick to kick off the first round. Lawrence and Etienne ...
Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence set a career high, throwing for five touchdowns against the New York Jets.
The Prince that was promised arrived on Sunday as Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars laid an absolute beatdown on the New York Jets. Lawrence accounted for six touchdowns on the day, including a career high of five passing touchdowns, completing 20 of 32 passes for 330 yards, while adding 51 yards and a score on the ground, and didn’t have a turnover for the third consecutive game. He currently sits as the QB1 in Week 15 heading into SNF.
The primary beneficiary of the historic day was running back Travis Etienne, who was on the receiving end of three of the touchdowns, highlighted by a 45-yard catch and run. Etienne sits as the RB1 for the week. The duo has played together for seven years, and Etienne has never seen Lawrence like this; he’s on fire. Fantasy managers who started either player in the first round of playoff matchups hope their performances were enough to advance them to round two.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne was spotted in a Non-Contact Jersey on Thursday with a potential shoulder issue.
On Thursday, Jacksonville Jaguars veteran running back Travis Etienne was spotted in a Non-Contact jersey with a potential shoulder issue. The extent of the injury is not known, but with Etiennes’ continued participation, he’s on track to play against Arizona.
Etienne has experienced a resurgence this season, finishing as a top-15 running back in six games and almost matching last year’s rushing totals in five less games. If Etienne does miss time or the injury limit his snaps, look to fire up rookie Bhayshul Tuten who had fifteen carries for 74 yards and a touchdown.

Tank Bigsby is heading to Philadelphia in a trade, leaving Travis Etienne and Bhayshul Tuten as fantasy winners!
Travis Etienne and Bhayshul Tuten are big winners as Bigsby is heading to the Eagles for a 2026 5th and 6th round pick.
Travis Etienne is still good at football. He was largely dismissed after a disappointing 2024. With new head coach Liam Cohen calling the offense, Etienne had 143 rushing yards on 16 carries and 3 catches for 13 yards and no touchdowns. This usage is great compared to the uncertainty of this backfield before the season started. The back up running backs got some playing time but none of then got more than 5 carries.
With Bigsby out of the way, Travis Etienne is a league winner if he keeps this pace up throughout the entire season. Tuten is also in must roster territory. Etienne’s price may high but he will cost even more if he keeps producing. Buy Etienne and Tuten in all formats!

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen praised RB Travis Etienne, and called trade rumors absolutely inaccurate.
After about a month of trade rumors surrounding Travis Etienne after the Jaguars drafted two rookie running backs in April, Liam Coen praised Travis Etienne:
He’s done everything we’ve asked him to do, and more. There’s been a consistency. He can shine in ways in space… He’s done a great job. I don’t really understand some of the stuff I’ve kind of seen out there. That’s absolutely inaccurate.
While this puts immediate Etienne trade rumors to rest, the former 1st Round pick still faces long-term competition for touches from Tank Bigsby and Bhayshul Tuten. If the Jaguars go through camp, Etienne may be made available if his still set is found redundant later on in the depth chart. Tuten is currently drafted ahead of Etienne on most fantasy platforms, which may be putting the cart before the horse.

The Carolina Panthers added to their running back room by taking Trevor Etienne in Round 4 of the 2025 NFL Draft
The Carolina Panthers extended Chuba Hubbard in November, added 1,000-yard rusher Rico Dowdle in free agency, await a rehab stint for last year’s second-round pick, Jonathon Brooks, and still have Raheem Blackshear. That did not stop them from taking advantage of a deep running back class when they selected Trevor Etienne (Florida, Georgia) in the fourth round, No. 144 overall.
Etienne joins his brother, Travis (RB – JAX), in the NFL, though the younger sibling has a tougher road to NFL and fantasy relevance. He lacks some of the speed and power that Travis demonstrated when he took over the starting gig in Jacksonville. More telling is that Trevor is a less-efficient version of his older brother; that’s saying a lot as Travis is far from among the most efficient in the league.
Most concerning is Etienne’s path to playing time. Dowdle is on a one-year contract, but when he becomes a free agent, Brooks should have turned the corner from his ACL rehab. Hubbard is entrenched as the starter after an impressive 2024, leaving Etienne staring at third on the depth chart for the foreseeable future, barring an amazing camp.
Etienne wrapped his three-year career with 2,081 yards on the ground while catching 62 passes. He tacked on a booking for Driving Under the Influence and three other charges in 2024, leading some to question his character.
