Travis Etienne Jr. - Viewed as week-to-weekJaguars head coach Doug Pederson labeled Etienne as week-to-week after the running back exited Sunday's 35-16 loss to the Bears with a hamstring injury, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com...ImpactEtienne failed to haul in his lone target and carried three times for minus-1 yard over 11 snaps before exiting early in the third quarter with the injury. Though he was initially labeled questionable to return, Etienne wasn't able to check back into the game, and Pederson's comments a day later suggest that the 25-year-old isn't expected to be available for Jacksonville's Week 7 matchup with New England in London. With Etienne departing early Sunday, D'Ernest Johnson led Jaguars running backs with 35 snaps while Tank Bigsby played 17, but in the prior two contests, Bigsby had amassed 219 yards from scrimmage while operating as the preferred backup option to Etienne. Bigsby thus likely represents a higher-ceiling fantasy option than Johnson as the Jaguars look to replace Etienne for at least Week 7.
