        Travis Etienne Dominates Week 1 Backfield

        No matter how you look at it, Travis Etienne dominated the Week 1 Jacksonville backfield. The rushing numbers are obvious. He racked up a 16-143 rushing line. A 71-yard second-quarter run delivered a big boost; but even without that, his other 15 rushes averaged 4.8 yards. Etienne also played 40 of 66 offensive snaps (60.6%) vs. just 14 for Tank Bigsby, nine for LeQuint Allen, and four for Bhayshul Tuten. Etienne's 15 pass routes also accounted for more than half of the backfield's total. Bigsby and Allen combined for the other 13.

        We've liked the upside of HC Liam Coen's backfield all offseason but awaited role clarity. That came in Sunday's opener.

        It's obviously just one game, and we'll see if work gets split any differently going forward. But Etienne looks like a fantasy starter for a Week 2 visit to Cincinnati. We'll see beyond that.

        Bigsby and the rest of the backfield look like no more than stashes for now.
