Travis Etienne Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne (hamstring) remained limited in Wednesday's practice. He was limited all three days last week before missing the Packers game. We're tentatively projecting Etienne to play vs. the Eagles this weekend but will keep you updated on his status. Etienne's return would make RB Tank Bigsby a much shakier fantasy start.

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Packers. He was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable, so we’re tentatively expecting Etienne back for Week 9. His absence today again leaves the backfield to RBs Tank Bigsby and D’Ernest Johnson. Bigsby should handle most of the rushing work but will cede passing-down snaps to Johnson. See where both guys land in the Week 8 RB Rankings.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport calls Jaguars RB Travis Etienne (hamstring) a "long shot" to play vs. the Packers today. That'll again leave the backfield to RBs Tank Bigsby and D'Ernest Johnson. Bigsby is coming off a big Week 7 with positive game script against a leaky Patriots run defense. He continued to see very few passing-down snaps, though, which is a concern with the Jaguars 4-point underdogs today. It leaves Bigsby as a volatile Week 8 fantasy play.

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Packers. HC Doug Pederson said Friday that Etienne will “probably be a game-time decision.” We’ll look for further updates on his status and get Jacksonville’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. Etienne’s absence would make RB Tank Bigsby a more reliable Week 8 fantasy play.

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne (hamstring) was officially limited in Wednesday's practice. HC Doug Pederson said before practice that he expected Etienne to get "a little bit of individual work with trainers," so it doesn't sound like he did a whole lot. He remains uncertain for Sunday's game vs. the Packers. Etienne's absence would keep RB Tank Bigsby in the RB3 mix.

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Patriots. His absence leaves the backfield to Tank Bigsby and D’Ernest Johnson. Bigsby should control early-down work but will lose passing-down snaps to Johnson. It leaves Bigsby as a risk/reward RB2 in an excellent spot with the Jags 6.5-point favorites against New England’s 22nd-ranked RB defense.

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday morning’s game vs. the Patriots. "I think Etienne is progressing,” HC Doug Pederson said Friday. “We still haven't made a decision yet. We're going to get through tomorrow, could be game-time [decision].” We’ll get Jacksonville’s inactives at 8 am ET on Sunday. This will be a tough backfield to project if Etienne ends up active.

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne (hamstring) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. It's a surprise after he was unable to return to last week's game -- and gives him a chance to play vs. the Patriots on Sunday. We'll see how Etienne progresses over the next few days.

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne is "week to week" with the hamstring injury he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Bears, HC Doug Pederson said. Etienne will likely miss at least this weekend's game vs. the Patriots and could miss another game or two. Jacksonville's bye isn't until Week 12.

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Bears due to a hamstring injury. He lost one yard on three carries and dropped his only target before exiting. Etienne's absence leaves Jacksonville's backfield to Tank Bigsby and D'Ernest Johnson.

Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby rushed 13 times for 101 yards and 2 TDs in Sunday's win over the Colts. He more than doubled Travis Etienne's carry count (6) and drew his first target of the season. Bigsby took that for a 28-yard reception.

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Texans with a shoulder injury. He played two snaps before exiting but did not touch the ball. We'll update his status when we know more. Etienne's absence leaves Tank Bigsby as Jacksonville's lead back.

Update: Etienne returned at the end of the first quarter.

Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby (shoulder) is active for tonight's game vs. the Bills. He was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable, although HC Doug Pederson never sounded worried about Bigsby's availability for this one. We have him projected to play close to his normal role.

Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby (shoulder) got in a limited practice on Thursday. HC Doug Pederson said earlier this week that Bigsby's shoulder injury wasn't serious, and this limited practice puts him on track to play vs. the Bills on Monday night.

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne took 12 carries for only 44 yards and 1 TD in Week 1. He added 2 catches for 15 yards for an OK fantasy day. Most troubling, though, was the involvement of second-year RB Tank Bigsby. Coming off a strong training camp, Bigbsy matched Etienne in carries and topped him in yards by 29.
