Fantasy Impact:
While not an outright statement, the Jaguars' elevation of Funk should raise some eyebrows concerning the health status of RB Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring), who was limited all week and is listed as questionable. Hamstring injuries can be tricky, and the Jags could have elevated Funk as further insurance. Etienne's status should be monitored closely ahead of the early morning kickoff, giving room for plenty of pivot options should he be a late scratch. Funk has five career touches over multiple NFL seasons and should be nothing more than a special teams option behind RBs Tank Bigbsy and D'Ernest Johnson.
