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 Tank Bigsby (ankle) was a full-go in practice all week and is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Texans. It’s unclear how carries will be divvied between Bigsby and RB Travis Etienne. And the matchup is tough against Houston’s fifth-ranked RB defense. Bigsby is not a recommended Week 13 fantasy play.

Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. That puts him on track to play against the Texans this weekend -- and makes Jacksonville's backfield one to avoid in fantasy lineups. It's unclear how work will be divvied between Bigsby and Travis Etienne. And Houston ranks fifth in adjusted fantasy points allowed to RBs.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) will practice on Monday, HC Doug Pederson said. The team will monitor Lawrence throughout the week before deciding whether he'll play against the Texans on Sunday. We're not sure why Lawrence would push through this injury for the 2-9 Jags, but his return would be good news for the offense. Jacksonville totaled 216 passing yards and 13 points over the last two games with QB Mac Jones.

Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game vs. the Lions after missing practice all week. His absence makes RB Travis Etienne a more palatable Week 11 fantasy play, although his team is still a 14-point underdog with a week-low 16.5-point implied total. D'Ernest Johnson will be Jacksonville's No. 2 RB in Detroit.

Jaguars RB D’Ernest Johnson (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Vikings. He should be the team’s No. 3 RB, stealing a few touches from RBs Tank Bigsby and Travis Etienne.

Jaguars RB D’Ernest Johnson (hamstring) is questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Vikings. He was added to the injury report on Thursday and limited again on Friday. Johnson stayed involved last week, despite RB Travis Etienne’s return, handling two carries and one target on a 24% snap rate. Johnson’s absence this weekend would be a slight boost to Etienne and RB Tank Bigsby.

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne got the start Sunday in his return from a two-game hamstring absence. But he logged just 5 total touches and played fewer snaps than Tank Bigsby in the loss to the Eagles.

Jaguars RBs Travis Etienne (hamstring) and Tank Bigsby (ankle) are active for today’s game vs. the Eagles. We’ll see exactly how carries are split between them in Etienne’s first action since Week 6. But Etienne is a strong bet to handle passing-down work. That’s important with the Jaguars 7.5-point underdogs in Philadelphia.

Jaguars RBs Travis Etienne (hamstring) and Tank Bigsby (ankle) are expected to play vs. the Eagles today, "barring a setback," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. We haven't seen these guys together for a full game since Week 5. We're projecting Bigsby to have the slight lead in carries today, but for Etienne to continue to dominate passing-down snaps. The Jaguars are 7.5-point underdogs in Philadelphia.

Jaguars RBs Travis Etienne (hamstring) and Tank Bigsby (ankle) are listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Eagles. Both guys were limited in practice all three days this week. HC Doug Pederson said Friday that Bigsby is "fine" but called Etienne a game-time decision. We'll look for further updates on this backfield but won't get Jacksonville's inactives until a little after 2:30 pm ET on Sunday. D'Ernest Johnson is Jacksonvile's No. 3 RB -- in case Etienne and Bigsby both end up sitting this week.

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.
