Fantasy football managers will likely have mixed emotions about Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson's planned approach with running back Travis Etienne Jr.

"It's hard to put necessarily a rep count on it, but you do want to keep him as healthy as you can throughout the season," Pederson said when discussing limiting Etienne's workload, per a Thursday report from ESPN's Michael DiRocco. "We talked about this as a staff and myself, making sure Tank [Bigsby] gets opportunities to get out there and take some of the pounding off of Travis."

A smaller workload would be concerning for fantasy players, but Pederson also expects Etienne to be even better in those opportunities.
