BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2
ANALYSIS: One of the worst enemies of running back fantasy production is a negative game script. That's exactly what Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby faced in Week 6 against the Chicago Bears, and that's why he put up a dud of a game after his massive Week 5 performance.

He's still forcing missed tackles and creating yards after contact at a crazy rate. Even the chart-breakers can have bad games sometimes. He's facing the New England Patriots this week, who have a much worse defense. He should get many more opportunities to shine.
It's possible that running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) could be load-limited if he plays or misses the game altogether. In either case, Bigsby should get enough work to be a solid fantasy start. If he plays anything like he has in the games, he's had significant volume in this season, and he could have another excellent outing.
Tank Bigsby lives up to his name, leading all RBs with 15+ carries in missed tackles forced/rush (0.46) and yards after contact/rush (5.8), per PFF
Most of his success has come downhill on duo/inside zone, but he has the burst to bounce runs + enough speed to rip off big plays pic.twitter.com/S4JPStF6AZ

Etienne has struggled this season and took three carries for a total loss of one yard -- yes, negative yardage -- in Week 6. Even if healthy, he should see a diminished role, considering his ineffectiveness. Bigsby is a low-end RB2 with upside this week.
