Travis Etienne Fantasy Outlook 2021: More, Same or Less Valuable in 2022 Dynasty Offseason?

One thing we want to cover for all the dynasty managers is whether or not we believe a player will gain value between now and this time next year. When it comes to Etienne, the team was fairly split.

Same: 5
Higher: 5
Lower: 2

As you can see, there five members seeing Etienne’s ADP remaining the same and another five seeing it increase. In addition there are two members of the team that see his ADP taking a decline entering 2022. With that being said, will the team feel the same way when it comes to buying, holding or selling?

Travis Etienne Fantasy Outlook 2021: Buy, Sell or Hold?

When it came down to it, we had four analysts that voted to “buy” and one that voted to “sell.” The majority of the team (7) voted to “Hold.” This is what they had to say: “Has huge PPR upside, but with his current price point I don’t think he’s worth to buy. If you got him HOLD and see what happens. His value could easily rise by next season.”

Hold: 7
Buy: 4
Sell: 1

Travis Etienne Fantasy Outlook 2021: Where Will He Rank vs. All Running Backs?

The team for the most part feels that Travis Etienne has a starting role on their roster in 2021. There are however some much higher on him that others. One analyst said, “The Jags will utilize Etienne all over the field during his rookie campaign. I’m expecting 10-15 carries paired with 5-6 targets per game. Between the solid passing game volume and Etienne’s big-play ability, I could see a huge year for him. Back end RB1 with a Kamara potential, and Etienne is a guy I’m buying any chance I get.”

Another said, “My biggest issue with Etienne is that he largely depends on the big play. James Robinson should be the early down pounder, whilst the Jags sprinkle in Etienne on passing downs and designed plays. His fantasy value is going to depend on whether the coaching staff and his QB can get him the ball in space.”

Overall, the team believes that Etienne will finish his rookie season in the RB21-27 range. Another analyst said, “Travis Etienne is an extremely talented back that I believe will struggle early. He won’t be able to bounce it to the outside edge and go like he did so often in college. What I do like a lot is his ability to catch the football and I see him in the slot a ton as a rookie.”


When it was all said and done, the 14 analysts predicted where Etienne would finish.

High: RB7
Low: RB36

A finish inside the top-24 running backs is the thought of the majority of the team. We did have one analyst with Etienne in the top-7 and another three members of the team see him finishing outside the top-30.
