Jaguars Beat: Team may have revealed plan at RB

Aug 11, 2025

The Jaguars' running back room has been one of the biggest talking points of the early stages of the Liam Coen era, and the Jaguars seemingly made a revealing decision when it comes to the running back room this weekend.

When the Jaguars' starting offense took the field on Saturday, it was Travis Etienne who got the nod for the only drive -- not Tank Bigsby. Bigsby played with the second-team offense, seemingly a change-up from what the Jaguars had displayed throughout most of training camp.

Fantasy Impact:

Etienne only touched the ball three times while making the start, but this included a 10-yard catch-and-run on a screen that converted a first-down and showed Etienne's potential value in Coen's offense. The story went on to say Etienne's ability as a pass-catcher could be what separates him from Bigsby, who has struggled on passing downs in his NFL career. There have been other reports floating around X saying Bigsby is well ahead of the rookie Tuten on the depth chart as well. There is still a way to go, but Etienne could be the leader in the clubhouse as we inch closer to the season, however Bigsby will likely still have a role in the offense, at the very least subbing in on early down or in short yardage and goal line situations.

Panthers bring back Hunter Renfrow, place Jalen Coker on IR

The Panthers signed WR Hunter Renfrow to their active roster Saturday.

Fantasy Impact:

Renfrow was among the final cuts for the Panthers as he competed for a role on the depth chart but was just squeezed out. The Panthers and general manager Dan Morgan had kept open the possibility of bringing Renfrow back in some capacity. Renfrow also essentially moved up a spot on the depth chart with the Panthers having since traded Adam Thielen to the Vikings and Jalen Coker suffering a quad injury Thursday and being placed on injured reserve. Renfrow likely mans tbe slot position at least until Coker returns, which he is expected to miss about 4-6 weeks.

Talking on @953WDAE, Bucs GM Jason Licht frames Chris Godwin’s return as likely October (Week 5 or later), saying Tristan Wirfs might be a little sooner.

Related Players: Mike Evans, Emeka Egbuka, Jalen McMillan

Fantasy Impact:

This is about the timeline that we thought he'd be on, but it's still a little confusing why the team took him off of PUP. Regardless, we should consider Evans a WR2 and Egbuka a WR3 as we head into drafts this weekend.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill returns to practice, expected to be ready for Week 1

Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright had a minor procedure. Goal is “Septemberish” return per HC Mike McDaniel. Expected to miss multiple weeks.

Miami signing RBs JaMycal Hasty & Jeff Wilson to practice squad.

McDaniel: De’Von Achane (calf) & Tyreek Hill (oblique) on track to play WK1.

Related Players: Jaylen Waddle, Malik Washington

Fantasy Impact:

After a summer filled with bad vibes, it's good to see Hill back out on the practice field. He's been a bit of a shy-away through most of drafting season, but now he's often falling into the fourth round, it makes selecting him a little easier to swallow. With or without Hill, Waddle is a sneaky upside target after a down year.
