After topping 1,600 rushing yards in back-to-back seasons, Travis Etienne's rushing production fell off in 2020. He averaged nearly eight yards per attempt from 2018-19, but that average fell to just 5.4 in his senior season. SportsLine's Fantasy analyst Jacob Gibbs believes there are plenty of data points within Etienne's advanced analytical profile that provide reason for continued optimism, in spite of the dip in per-touch efficiency in 2020. The Jacksonville Jaguars echoed that sentiment when they used a first-round pick on Etienne, even after James Robinson's truly impressive rookie season.
With news that Etienne will likely miss the entire 2021 season, is he still worth selecting as a top-three rookie RB in Dynasty formats? Who has more Dynasty value at this point, the 22-year-old Etienne or the 23-year-old James Robinson?
Gibbs provides a data-driven deep dive to answer that question and address anything that stood out from his advanced statistical profile. These player profiles are just a small part of the advanced analytical prep Gibbs is providing for SportsLine users heading into the 2021 Fantasy football season -- if you want an easy way to keep up with all of the information that will be published this spring and summer, this Advanced Fantasy Football Stat Guide will be updated with links to each article as they go live.
