The New Orleans Saints just landed an absolute weapon at No. 8 overall in Jordyn Tyson, a potential alpha with an elite 18.1 Breakout Age (99th-percentile) that proves he was dominating grown men while his peers were still at prom. Tyson is an analytical god with a massive 46.8% College Dominator Rating and a 34.2% Target Share that scream “high-volume target hog,” and he’s now stepping into a Saints offense desperate for a three-level separator who can win at the catch point.
For dynasty purposes, it’s wheels up for Tyson as a locked-in Top-5 rookie pick with an elite WR1 ceiling, especially considering his 3.04 Yards Per Route Run and the high-leverage opportunity he’ll command from Day 1 in the Big Easy. The secondary winner here is Tyler Shough, who now enters year two with Chris Olave and Tyson on the outside and new addition Travis Etienne in the backfield.
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 ...
Jonathon Brooks is essentially a walking medical case study at this point, returning from back-to-back ACL reconstructions that completely vaporized his 2025 season and cratered his dynasty value. While his 6.1 College Yards Per Carry (75th-percentile) and 22.5-percent College Dominator Rating suggest a potential workhorse, Brooks is currently buried in a backfield committee behind high-volume starter Chuba Hubbard and the dynamic Trevor Etienne.
Dave Canales has transformed Carolina’s running game into an efficiency machine, and at just 22 years old, Brooks has quickly become the sneakiest stash in all of dynasty. Bottom line: Brooks is an excellent late-round stash for fantasy gamers soaking up high-stakes variance.
Coach Moore is out here playing mind games, refusing to give us a straight answer while pretending a 30-year-old Alvin Kamara and Travis Etienne Jr. is some kind of “great situation” for everyone and no one. Bottom line: Kamara is a proven producer, who might be running on fumes, but if he doesn’t retire, he’s going to be a massive thorn in the side of every Etienne dynasty manager by potentially vacuuming up high-value targets.
Fantasy gamers are drafting Etienne at a premium price expecting a 300-touch bellcow role, but Moore’s evasive rhetoric is a neon sign warning that the full-scale workhorse takeover hasn’t actually been ratified yet. As long as Kamara is in the building, Etienne is a high-priced bet on a bad team’s backfield that could devolve into a specialist committee.
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.

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.

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.
