In game No. 1 without Tank Bigsby, Etienne operated as the clear lead back. The Clemson product played 66% of the snaps and handled 14 of 25 team RB carries. Meanwhile, rookie RB Bhashul Tuten played 26% of the snaps and gained 42 yards on 8 attempts. He scored on 1 of his 2 targets.
Etienne scored on a designed screen from 11 yards out in the 3rd quarter. That marked just his second career receiving TD.
Overall, Etienne looked smooth exploiting a Cincinnati rush defense that profiles as one of the worst in the league this season.
He'll face a stiffer test next week vs. Houston, but Etienne’s current role gives him a solid RB2 floor.
