Tank Bigsby was the player who was supposed to take work away from Etienne last season. There's no sugarcoating it, Bigsby looked bad on the field. He was mediocre at best as a rusher and as a receiver, it was even worse. On four targets, he had three drops, two of which led to interceptions.
There's been coach speak this off-season from Doug Pederson and offensive coordinator Press Taylor, suggesting Bigsby is going to get another chance to fill the backup role to Etienne. This makes him the front-runner for backup job, but this isn't guaranteed given the tape he put out last season. Keep an eye on training camp reports to ensure Bigsby is in fact the RB2 before drafting him.

 Travis Etienne week to week with hamstring injury
Tank Bigsby in the lead back role

FFToday's Take: Etienne has yet to get on track this season, dealing with a shoulder injury while splitting time with Tank Bigsby. Etienne will now miss the next few weeks which will give Bigsby a chance at the lead back role. D'Ernest Johnson moves up to the No.2 spot. Upcoming schedule for the Jaguars include the Patriots, Packers, Eagles and Vikings.
| Travis Etienne playing through pain
Recurring shoulder issue

| | Travis Etienne got popped in the shoulder again and that’s why he was held out at the end of the game. Pederson says he’ll be okay. (Jordan de Lugo on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Etienne's volume has dipped over the last two games, which has contributed somewhat to Tank Bigsby's resurgence. It would seem as though Jacksonville wants the two backs to split the workload as much as possible and it may be moving in that direction. Etienne will remain the clear starter for the Jags, but it is clear that Bigsby has earned himself a role. As such, Etienne needs to be treated as a RB2 in fantasy until further notice.
