Summary
Host Ian Hartitz breaks down the Jacksonville Jaguars' backfield and whether or not we should buy Travis Etienne in fantasy land ahead of 2021. Make no mistake about it: Etienne is fast fast. Still, Urban Meyer's comments on the situation have been nothing short of puzzling, routinely referring to Etienne as "slash" due to the potential for him to play an awful lot of wide receiver. This is a skill Etienne possesses; just realize we don't have much evidence of him working in the slot or out wide from the Clemson days. Ian concludes the podcast with Etienne's specific rank and thoughts on James Robinson and Carlos Hyde.
Taking a look at this confusing Jags backfield (0:17) Etienne will have a role in the passing game (4:51) Where the Jaguars RBs rank (6:16)

| 0:00.0 | I'm your host Ian Hartz. Today we |
| 0:07.0 | continue our fantasy file series with a look at Travis ETN and this more confusing Jackson |
| 0:17.8 | Jaguars back feel to buy the day seemingly. So thank you as always, Tony. And as always, |
| 0:22.2 | we will get right after it. ETN, he should, he should be the lead guy. We're not positive. |
| 0:28.5 | Because Urban Meyer is walking around and calling him slash to anybody that will listen. |
| 0:32.6 | And it's also not just James Robinson show as much as I wish I could write off Carlos |
| 0:37.4 | Hyde. He is still a factor too. So that's what we're looking at in Jacksonville. I'm not |
| 0:41.0 | going to try to even mention he should not be named. The guy should not be in the NFL |
| 0:44.8 | right now. But unfortunately, he is also a person of potential past near the goal line |
| 0:50.1 | that we need to worry about. But today's main topic will be Travis ETN because first |
| 0:54.9 | round running backs people they get fed. Urban Meyer is a typical NFL coach. We're already |
| 0:59.4 | seeing that maybe, you know, he has a different idea for how to use his first down first round |
| 1:04.0 | a legit RB. I'm just concerned though because historically again, first round running backs |
| 1:08.6 | get fed for every folk Lindsey and James Robinson. There's dozens of more Darwin Thompson's |
| 1:13.2 | or Justice Hills. And again, just looking at the list of the previous first down backs, |
| 1:17.5 | I think we should have a pretty gaudy touch projection for ETN in year one. I'm a cloud |
| 1:21.9 | never's a layer disappointed has a minute. Still the PPR RB 22217 touches. Josh Jacobs, |
| 1:28.9 | 262 touches RB 21. Barkley, 352 touches, RB 1, Rashad Penny busted 94 touches, RB 68. |
| 1:37.4 | We had Sony Michelle get 216 touches. Not a four net at 304 RB 10 finish Christian McCaff |
| 1:42.7 | 397 touches, RB 9 finish as a first round rookie. I mean, RB 9 on fewer than 200 touches. |
| 1:49.2 | Our seedings or seconds or such. She code is equal to RB 254 touches, talk early, |
| 1:54.6 | RB 9 on 250 touches had Trent Richardson turning RB 8 finish on 316 touches. Old, uh, |
