DMD Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 No word yet on how severe, but that punches a hole in his early season role at the least. And James Robinson comes to the rescue once again it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMD Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 The challenge now is how long it takes Etienne to recover and return to full health. It could set up the Jags backfield shifting roles at the end of the season when you need a back the most, but for the near future at least, this is a major boon for Robinson to return more to last year. Carlos Hyde may be involved a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos Hyde may be involved a bit more. Hyde will most certainly be involved. Urban Meyer wanted Hyde, and didn't go out and sign him for nothing. It wouldn't surprise me at all if it's a full on split between Robinson and Hyde to start the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Brown Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) Schefter is tweeting out for the season. I'm in a slow main event draft in FFPC ($2000 entry) and some guy drafted Etienne about 45 minutes ago...ouch.

stevegrab Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 That's going to leave a mark on some teams. I'll be interested to see if some uninformed owner at our draft takes him. Might be a guy to sign off waivers late in the season in a keeper/dynasty for 2022 value. I think in another 3-5 years virtually no starters will play in pre-season, teams would rather do these organized team activities against another team, where they have a lot more control of the situations. Pretty sure all the Browns starters were in against the Giants in those sessions Thu/Fri, but none (or very few) have seen the field so far, and I doubt that changes in Atlanta this weekend.

zing Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I took over a weak Dynasty team a few months ago. Only good RB was Akers (who is now out for the season), so I drafted Etienne( Harris was already gone), now also out for the season 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clear the new regime didn't envision him as 'the guy,' so assuming he still gets 20+ touches a game is a leap IMO. Hyde may have the biggest uptick in value. Too difficult to forecast for an early pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
