Did the Jacksonville Jaguars find a replacement for Etienne in Chris Rodriguez Jr.?
With Travis Etienne gone, Chris Rodriguez Jr. has a chance to become one of fantasy football’s biggest sleepers in Jacksonville. The former Kentucky standout is a physical, downhill runner who averaged 4.5 yards per carry while rushing for 500 yards and six touchdowns last season despite limited opportunities.
If Rodriguez earns the bulk of the early-down work and goal-line carries, he could emerge as a reliable fantasy contributor with weekly touchdown upside in the Jaguars’ new-look offense.
Be sure to check out Dr. Jesse Morse of The Injury Expertz, who breaks down Rodriguez’s fantasy outlook, analyzes his previous injury history, and explains what it means for his potential impact in Jacksonville this season.
