Jaguars RB Travis Etienne (hamstring) week to week

Oct 14, 2024

Jaguars HC Doug Pederson told reporters today that RB Travis Etienne Jr. is now considered week to week due to his hamstring injury.

Related players: Tank Bigsby, D'Ernest Johnson

Fantasy Impact:

It's the second-straight week Etienne didn't finish a game. In Week 5, the team said it was a shoulder injury but many questioned if it was more because of a lack of production, especially after Bigsby piled up huge fantasy numbers. But in Week 6, Bigsby was held in check with the Jags playing from behind most of the game. The week to week status means Etienne is very questionable for Week 7, which is another London game for the Jags. The good news is owners will have plenty of time to figure out a plan based on Etienne's game-time status. Bigsby should be a much safer play if he gets the start in what is a favorable matchup against the Patriots. Johnson likely figures in as well. Bigsby should be a popular waiver target this week if he's still available in your league.

Saints WR Rashid Shaheed to undergo surgery, possibly missing the rest of the '24 season

Coach Dennis Allen announces that Rashid Shaheed will undergo surgery on his meniscus, and during the surgery, it will be determined if he has the full repair or the trim.

The full repair would mean his season is over.

Fantasy Impact:

Miserable news for a player who had been contributing in many aspects, including special teams. Spencer Rattler's skill position group is being sniped by injuries, which makes the entire team a strong fade for fantasy purposes.

Saints HC Dennis Allen ruled out WR Chris Olave for Thursday night’s game vs. Denver due to a concussion.

Related Players: Juwan Johnson, Bub Means, Cedrick Wilson, Mason Tipton

Things are trending in the wrong direction for the Saints this week, with a number of impactful injuries looking to sap their offense. Mean is fine as a desperation Flex, but don't expect too much.

Jets WR Davante Adams is expected to play Week 7

Jets HC Jeff Ulbrich confirmed that WR Davante Adams — who has missed the past three games due to a hamstring injury — is expected to play Sunday vs. the Steelers.

Related Players: Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

It shouldn't take much time for Adams to get heavily involved in the offensive gameplan, with literally hundreds of targets from Aaron Rodgers on his resume. Though this is a tough matchup against the Steelers' defense, targets should be funneled to Adams and Wilson from the get-go. Put both of them in WR2 consideration this week.
