2020 Rush/Rec Projections
2020 Fantasy Outlook
Etienne's surprise return for his senior season allows him to be amongst the nation's top backs for a third straight year. He's surpassed 1,600 yards in each of the past two seasons, scoring 43 times in that span. His 207 carries in 2019 were a personal best, and while 13.8 totes per game is a smaller number than most other workhorse backs, Etienne's elite speed leads to big play after big play. Etienne emerged as a viable receiver last year as well, snagging 37 balls for 432 yards and four scores after combining for 17-135-2, and figures to see consistent targets with the Tigers' using an inexperienced receiving group. A known commodity, Etienne profiles as one the best, and safest, running backs in the country. Read Past Outlooks
Returning to Clemson
Etienne announced Friday that he will return to Clemson for his senior season.
ANALYSIS
Etienne was expected to be one of the first running backs off the board had he elected to enter the 2020 NFL Draft. Instead, Etienne will make another run at a championship with the Tigers, who came up short in the Championship game against LSU. Etienne has surpassed 1,600 rushing yards in each of the last two seasons and has combined to total 43 rushing touchdowns. He also improved drastically as a receiver this season, hauling in 37 passes for 432 yards and four scores, likely aligning him as one of the top backs on college fantasy draft boards for the 2020 campaign.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2018
2019
What Etienne did on just 107 carries as a freshman is remarkable. He averaged 7.16 yards per carry and racked up 13 touchdowns, which matched what Wisconsin's Jonathan Taylor posted with 192 more carries. This isn't a knock against Taylor as much as it is a credit to Etienne's explosiveness. He may well be the fastest running back in the nation and has the build to hold up with an increased workload. Clemson's backfield depth does put a cap on Etienne's expected volume, but his talent makes him worth targeting nonetheless.
