Etienne Jr. managed a total of one yard on two red zone totes and had a seven-yarder that would have set up first-and-goal from the 3 called back by holding penalty. Etienne Jr. seems to have retaken the No. 1 role in this backfield from Tank Bigsby for some reason, but the results were hardly inspiring and he spent a lot of this game racking up horizontal yardage. He'll be on the RB2/RB3 borderline against the Titans in Week 14.
He added one catch for seven yards. The Jaguars split the snaps roughly evenly, with Bigsby finding 32 snaps to Travis Etienne Jr.'s 37, but Etienne Jr. was more trusted in pass protection and Bigsby lost the carry battle due to extreme negative game scripts. Bigsby will be a RB3/FLEX play against the Titans in Week 14.
Bigsby practiced in full throughout the week and shouldn't have any limitations versus the Texans. He has been far more explosive on the ground compared to Travis Etienne this year, but the latter plays on passing downs. With the Jags entering the weekend as considerable underdogs to Houston, that role is crucial for maintaining a fantasy floor. Without it, Bigsby is a high-risk RB3 for Week 13.
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.
