Travis Etienne Jr.'s Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) was able to get through his second straight limited practice session on Thursday. It sounds like Etienne has a good chance at getting back on the field for the first time since Week 6. Head coach Doug Pederson said that he felt good about Etienne's chances of getting back on the field this week. His return would mean that Tank Bigsby would lose some stream after being the lead back over the last few games. Etienne is more of a flex option because Bigsby might've done enough to make it a 50/50 split in the backfield.

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson "feels good" about running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) returning to action in Week 9, as Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 XM reported. The fourth-year back has been plagued by a hamstring ailment over the last few weeks that's forced him to miss the team's previous two games and part of another. While his practice participation ahead of Jacksonville's road tilt against the Philadelphia Eagles will be telling regarding his Sunday status, it appears he has a good shot to suit up for the outing. With teammate Tank Bigsby's success and efficiency in the 25-year-old's stead, this backfield might give fantasy managers headaches over the season's final stretch until one emerges as the preferred option.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the wrong direction Sunday morning.

Bigsby should be treated as a solid fantasy RB2 despite a matchup against the Packers' strong defense.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) is a "longshot" to play against the Green Bay Packers in Week 8, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Etienne has battled injuries and poor production this year, dropping him outside the top 36 running backs for fantasy purposes and giving a terrific opportunity to second-year running back Tank Bigsby. With Etienne trending toward being inactive, fantasy managers should expect another huge week from Bigsby. He's a fantasy RB2 despite the tough matchup in Green Bay.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) will likely be a game-time decision on Sunday according to Kainani Stevens. Etienne was sidelined last weekend due to a hamstring injury but has been able to participate during Wednesday's and Thursday's practice in a limited capacity which is a promising sign. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his availability during Friday's practice as it may provide clarity heading into the weekend. In his absence last week, Tank Bigsby tallied an impressive 118 yards and two scores off 26 carries. If Etienne is able to suit up, both running backs will likely share the backfield facing the Green Bay Packers who have allowed the 19th-most PPR points to opposing RBs this season.
