Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said running back Travis Etienne Jr. (chest) is "day-to-day" but is doing well. Etienne will be at practice on Thursday, but it's unclear how much he'll actually do. The Jaguars don't play until Monday night in Week 13 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Etienne's status is worth watching, but as of now, it doesn't appear that his injury will put him in danger of sitting out this week. The 24-year-old briefly left the Week 12 win over the Houston Texans in the first half but later returned and finished with 56 rushing yards on 20 carries and 30 receiving yards on four receptions. As long as he's active, Etienne is a must-start in fantasy as Jacksonville's lead back. If Etienne is limited at all or out on Monday, D'Ernest Johnson and Tank Bigsby would likely split backfield work. UPDATE: Etienne was limited in practice Thursday.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. doesn't have much upside in a meaningless final game against the Indianapolis Colts. Etienne Jr. has been splitting touches out of the backfield with Tank Bigsby for most of the season, and Bigsby has looked like the better back for the most part. The 25-year-old back has had a disappointing season due to the lackluster offense and less-than-ideal volume. That shouldn't change this week and could even sway more towards Bigsby given he is the younger of the two backs. On the contrary, the two backs could also be playing to make a case for more volume next year, which could mean both have solid outings despite limited volume. Consider Etienne Jr. a decent starting option in Week 18.--Seth Quinn - RotoBaller

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. put up 75 total yards on 16 touches in a 20-13 victory over the Tennessee Titans. The 25-year-old back out of Clemson finished with 15 carries for 49 yards and one catch for 26 yards. Etienne Jr. once again got a larger share of backfield touches than teammate Tank Bigsby. The even split throughout the season has greatly limited each player's fantasy value, and that didn't change in Week 17. The passing game was surprisingly more efficient in this game, with Etienne Jr. and Bigsby both averaging around three yards per carry. Mac Jones also tossed two touchdowns including one from two yards out, while the running game couldn't find the end zone. Overall, Etienne Jr. has been one of the most disappointing fantasy players this season. The Jaguars face the Indianapolis Colts in Week 18.--Seth Quinn - RotoBaller

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. is a decent start, but not ideal in Week 17 against the Tennessee Titans. The 25-year-old back gets a slight boost in PPR, as his role while playing with Tank Bigsby seems to be the passing down back along with a random number of carries. Given how the Jaguars have oscillated between who gets more touches out of the backfield, it is hard to trust both Etienne Jr. or Bigsby. For example, when the Jaguars faced the Titans in Week 14, Etienne Jr. only got four carries, but the following week he got 14. The volume just isn't there for him to have much upside, making him not a great option for teams competing for a championship. While he has a chance for a decent fantasy day, Etienne Jr. is not an ideal flex option in Week 17.--Seth Quinn - RotoBaller

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. was out-touched by teammate Tank Bigsby and didn't do much with the touches he got in a 19-14 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. The 25-year-old back finished with nine carries for 22 yards and two catches for 15 yards. Etienne Jr. was overshadowed by Bigsby, who received 12 carries, caught one pass, and averaged 4.2 yards per carry compared to Etienne Jr.'s 2.4 yards per carry. Etienne Jr. had been more involved in the passing game the last few games, but his involvement dropped across the board in Week 16. Given the hot-hand approach the Jaguars seem to be using, it is hard to trust him in any must-win fantasy matchup. Etienne Jr. will look to be more involved in Week 17 when the Jaguars face the Tennessee Titans.--Seth Quinn - RotoBaller
