2025 Fantasy Outlook
Travis' brother doesn't have the same kind of breakaway speed, but the younger Etienne showed good contact balance, soft hands as a receiver and pass protection skills in college. Selected in the fourth round of the 2025 draft by the Panthers, he joins a crowded backfield that had already added Rice Dowdle in free agency to complement Chuba Hubbard, and which is still hoping to get something out of 2024 second-round pick Jonathon Brooks. Etienne's three-down versatility should help him win a roster spot, but he'll need injuries ahead of him to have a shot at a significant role. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Primary return man in rookie season
Etienne rushed the ball 20 times for 94 yards and caught all three of his targets for 13 yards across 17 regular-season games in 2025. Additionally, he recorded 733 kickoff return yards and 163 punt return yards.
ANALYSIS
The 2025 fourth-round pick from Georgia was buried behind Rico Dowdle and Chuba Hubbard in the Panthers' backfield, so it's no surprise he didn't see much work on offense as a rookie. However, Etienne established himself as Carolina's top return man, finishing the regular season 19th in return yards in the NFL. While Dowdle is set to hit unrestricted free agency, the Panthers will still have Hubbard and 2024 second-round pick Jonathon Brooks (knee) under contract next season, so the backfield could remain crowded, but Etienne's special-teams value should at least keep him in the mix.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely Day 2 pick another year
Nick Baumgardner of The Athletic believes Etienne would have been a Day 2 draft pick in most other draft classes.
ANALYSIS
Etienne didn't hear his name called until Day 3 of the 2025 NFL Draft, when he went to the Panthers in the fourth round, 114th overall. The running back out of Georgia likely slid due to the excellent depth of this draft class, as Etienne had a draft profile typically associated with running backs drafted in the second and third rounds. He has a murky path to snaps in a Carolina backfield that includes Chuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdle, each of whom rushed for more than 1,000 yards in 2024.
