Dynasty Outlook: Travis Etienne

After being injured during the preseason of his rookie season and sitting out his entire first year, Travis Etienne (RB – JAX) had a troubled beginning to his sophomore season. After beginning the season losing touches to third-year veteran James Robinson (RB – NYJ), he finally broke out in Game 5 and following that he posted stellar rushing performances, having a notable 25-yard + rush in seemingly every game. Ending his season as RB17 and having 12 ppg vaulted his value to RB five on KTC, placing him just between Christian McCaffrey (RB – SFO) and Saquon Barkley (RB – NYG) in the RB category, and Kyler Murray (QB – ARZ) and Chris Olave (WR – NO) overall.

Fantasy Hits and Misses

Fantasy Hits and Misses

Looking back and reviewing hits and misses each year is a task I encourage every analyst to perform. Not only is it part of holding yourself accountable, but it’s an opportunity to reflect and improve your fantasy football chops. As a community, we aren’t great at admitting when we’re wrong but this gives us the chance to pat ourselves on the back for our victories while also learning from our mistakes. We can’t get them all right and most of the time fewer than we’d like but we can gain a lot from evaluating both.

Fly Like an Eagle No More: The Doug Pederson Firing

For Doug Pederson, time kept on slippin slippin slippin into the future. A future that no longer includes being the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. It was a tumultuous ending for Pederson as the Eagles finished the season 4-11-1 in the historically bad NFC East. Not to mention the smelly cherry on top of this awful season…the pulling of starting quarterback, Jalen Hurts, in the final fifteen minutes of the season with a playoff spot on the line for the opposing team. He lost the locker room and there was no coming back.

With Pederson gone, the Eagles have a plethora of talent to attract top tier talent. Two intriguing quarterbacks in Carson Wentz and Jalen Hurts. Top five running back in yards per carry, Miles Sanders. 2020 first-round pick Jalen Reagor at wide receiver. Finally, emerging star tight end Dallas Goedert will look to officially take the reins from Zach Ertz, who will most likely find a new team this offseason.

Let’s dive into how each of them performed with Pederson at the helm. And whether or not you should expect these Eagles to soar or come crashing down now that he’s gone.
