Latest takes
“The Saints signed Travis Etienne to headline their backfield, but among 43 running backs with at least 150 touches last season, Etienne was 27th in yards per carry (4.3) and 33rd in percentage of rushes that went for zero or negative yards.”
Josh Shepardson· Jul 1“Etienne is too good a talent for the Saints to put him in a legitimate time share of any kind. Kellen Moore's offense has been capable of producing big fantasy numbers for running backs as well.”
Jason Kamlowsky· Jun 14“The team spent the offseason aggressively adding offensive help around Shough. Travis Etienne, Jordyn Tyson, and Oscar Delp were all brought in to strengthen the supporting cast.”
Jon Machado· May 16

“The Bucs in Week 15 didn't give up a lot in the way of EPA per rush, but they struggled against pass-catching running backs, and Travis Etienne and Alvin Kamara are both good options there.”
Tom Strachan· May 15“Pairing Tyson with Olave and free agent addition Travis Etienne Jr. would form a legitimately strong skill player group for Shough to work with, along with a quietly strong offensive line.”
Jakob Sanderson· Apr 22“Travis Etienne is a free agent in 2026 (signed with the New Orleans Saints). They did draft two RBs in last year's draft, likely knowing they could lose ETN on the open market.”
Andrew Erickson· Mar 22“Jacksonville's only free agent addition so far is Chris Rodriguez Jr, who joins a backfield that no longer contains Travis Etienne.”
Raymond Summerlin· Mar 20“Saints signed RB Travis Etienne (4 years, $52 million)”
Raymond Summerlin· Mar 19
“The swift decline in Josh Jacobs' market value has everything to do with the legal cloud hanging over him. He was arrested in late May on domestic violence allegations. While he was later released, prosecutors say the investigation is still ongoing.”
Wolf Trelles-Heard· Jun 24“With starting running back Josh Jacobs entering his age-28 stride, and also being the alleged perpetrator of domestic violence, Lloyd may finally get a shot to play meaningful snaps for the Packers.”
Edward DeLauter· Jun 23“In 2025, Jacobs appeared in 15 games for the Packers and recorded 234 rushing attempts for 929 yards (4.0 YPC) and 13 touchdowns, to go along with 36 receptions on 44 targets for 282 yards (7.8 YPC) and one touchdown.”
Jonathan Comeaux· May 26

“Jacobs will be subject to the league's personal conduct policy and will likely face a suspension ahead of the 2026 season, pending the league's internal investigation.”
Jonathan Comeaux· May 26“Jacobs' attorneys announced that their client "vehemently denies" the allegations against him: "Josh vehemently denies the allegations, and this matter is in the early stages of investigation with important evidence that has not yet been made public."”
Jonathan Comeaux· May 26“Jacobs turned himself in to the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department in Wisconsin after the incident occurred on Saturday, May 23.”
Jonathan Comeaux· May 26“Josh Jacobs was arrested on Tuesday and charged with five counts of domestic abuse, including Battery–Domestic Abuse, Criminal Damage to Property–Domestic Abuse, Disorderly Conduct–Domestic Abuse, Strangulation and Suffocation, and Intimidation of a Victim.”
Jonathan Comeaux· May 26“Josh Jacobs might be the biggest value in early fantasy football drafts. Despite finishing as a productive fantasy back last season, Jacobs is currently being drafted outside the top 12 running backs in many formats. The case is simple: Green Bay trusts Jacobs near the goal line, he remains heavily involved as an early-down runner, and his receiving floor is underrated.”
FantasyPros Staff· May 10“Josh Jacobs at 299 [college touches] is one of only two other backs who had fewer than 400 college touches and were first-round picks.”
Rich Hribar· Apr 24“We were playing the Raiders and Josh Jacobs, I don't know what was wrong with him that day but he was running like a mad man.”
Tony Camino· Mar 21
