Patriots declared WR Javon Baker, LT Vederian Lowe, DT Jeremiah Pharms, LB Sione Takitaki, WR Tyquan Thornton, and QB Joe Milton inactive for Week 7 against the Jaguars.
Baker has only appeared in two games this year and is yet to catch his first NFL pass. The fourth-round rookie is a long way from fantasy relevancy right now.
Travis Etienne (hamstring) is inactive for Week 7 against the Patriots.
Doug Pederson called Etienne week-to-week shortly after he suffered the hamstring injury in Week 6. Etienne managed to practice this week but never got in a full session. Tank Bigsby will assume the RB1 role in Jacksonville this week. Bigsby has been impressive as the change-of-pace back this year and should see plenty of touches versus the Pats. He sits in the middle of the fantasy RB2 ranks for Week 7. D’Ernest Johnson will serve as the Jags’ top option on passing downs, putting him in RB4 territory. Inactive for the Jags re DE Myles Cole, OL Javon Foster, OL Cole Van Lanen, DT Esezi Otomewo, and DT Maason Smith.
