Juwan Johnson or Travis Etienne Jr.: Who Should You Start?

The call

• Role is secure — 69% snap share as the No. 1 TE and no injury designation after the Week 2 illness cleared, so volume isn't in question.
• The 13% target share is modest for a position that lives on volume, and the 9.2-point projection lands him at TE16, just outside the 12-team starter line.
• Game script is fine: 23.0 implied total as a 3.5-point favorite means a normal, competitive script rather than a pass-heavy comeback or a run-out-the-clock blowout.
• The DvP composite ranks this defense 11 of 32 against tight ends, but it's a 2-game sample at 0.00 confidence — if the target share ticks up toward 18-20%, he's a clear start; as is, he's a coin flip against a similar TE2.
