Fantasy Football Outlook: Will Travis Etienne Jr. Play Week 7?
Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) could be game-time decision Sunday
Jaguars coach Doug Pederson said Travis Etienne Jr. could be a game-time decision for Sunday’s game against the Jaguars.
Fantasy Impact
Etienne was labeled as week-to-week to begin the week, but has managed to log back-to-back limited practices. His status will be worth monitoring when the injury report is released on Friday.

Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) limited again Thursday
Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) was limited at practice again on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Etienne was limited for the second time this week on Thursday. He suffered a hamstring injury in Sunday’s loss to the Bears, and his status for Week 7 is up in the air right now. If he is unavailable to play, Tank Bigsby will see the bulk of the work for the Jaguars and could be a good flex option in a matchup against the Patriots.

Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) officially limited Wednesday
Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) was officially a limited participant at practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Etienne left Sunday’s game early after suffering a hamstring injury. The team reportedly considers him to be week-to-week, but he was able to log a limited practice session on Wednesday. It appears that he will have a chance to play in Week 7, but we won’t know more about his official status until later in the week.

Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) considered week-to-week
Jaguars coach Doug Pederson said that Travis Etienne Jr. is now considered week to week due to his hamstring injury.
Fantasy Impact
Etienne left Sunday’s game early and did not return. Tank Bigsby and D’Ernest Johnson should both take on bigger roles while Etienne is sidelined.

What the Experts Are Saying
Etienne has been limited all week in practice (hamstring). He has been listed as questionable and ruled as a game-time decision. Etienne left last week’s game with the injury. He played only 18% of the snaps with three touches. In the previous game, he played 38% of the snaps with 12 touches and 60 total yards. He played only 35% of the rushing play snaps while handling 47% of the passing down snaps. If Etienne is active this week, I expect him to be the passing down back with some scattered rushing usage. Tank Bigsby would handle the bulk of the early down work. Etienne hasn’t been great on a per-touch basis this season, ranking 30th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 25th in yards after contact per attempt. Even his receiving numbers have been snooze-worthy. Among 44 qualifying backs, he ranks 33rd in YPRR and 30th in receiving yards per game. New England has been a middle-of-the-road defense against pass-catching backs, ranking 17th in yards per reception and 15th in receiving yards per game allowed. Etienne is an uninspiring flex play if active.
