Chase Edmonds Goes On Injured Reserve

Wednesday, September 20, 10:27 PM

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed running back Chase Edmonds (knee) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. Edmonds suffered a knee injury in the Week 2 win over the Chicago Bears and will now be forced to miss at least the next four games due to an MCL injury. Rachaad White will continue to serve as the team's unquestioned lead back heading into Week 3 against the visiting Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football, with rookie Sean Tucker serving as his primary backup. Ke'Shawn Vaughn will likely now be active on game days with Edmonds sidelined. In the first two games for the Bucs, Edmonds was sparsely used, carrying the ball four times for 20 yards while not being targeted in the passing game. He's well off the fantasy radar for now.

Travis Etienne News

Travis Etienne Jr. with 138 Total Yards in Loss vs. Texans

Monday, September 25, 12:46 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. produced 138 scrimmage yards in the loss against Houston on Sunday. The feature back took 19 carries for 88 yards, adding four receptions for 50 yards. The yardage marks were both season highs, as Etienne accounted for 34% of the Jaguars total offensive output. He didn't have the monster game fantasy managers were looking for, but still came through and produced an all-around solid performance even with the Jaguars struggling on offense yet again. While this team still has a lot to figure out, Etienne is the unquestioned bellcow and will continue to get almost all of the backfield touches, keeping him at low-end RB1 status. He heads to London next week to take on the Falcons.
