BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX
ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby (ankle) has been a frustratingly boom-or-bust player in fantasy this season. He scored 25.9 PPR fantasy points in Week 5, only to follow that up with a 2.4 point performance in Week 6. Then, in Week 7, he racked up 23.8 FPTs, followed by 10.6 in Week 8 and just 2.2 in Week 9.

Negative game scripts, where the team is forced to throw the ball often to catch up after falling behind, and a timeshare with lead RB Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) are likely the main culprits of No. 4's wild inconsistency. But the talent is there, and that's what matters.
Tank Bigsby ran four more routes than Travis Etienne in Week 9. He also played 11 more snaps. That's the first time those two things have happened in a game where both players were active this season.

In addition, we've seen signs that he's headed for a bigger involvement in the passing game, which should cut into Etienne's role in that area and provide a safer floor for him when the team is behind. ETN dropped a pass that resulted in an interception in Week 10, and he's performed poorly overall this season, so the coaching staff could be losing trust in him.
Bigsby is a fine start as an RB3/FLEX in most leagues, but managers should understand his inconsistent nature in the stat sheets and be prepared for a frustrating performance. The Minnesota Vikings, who the Jags will face in Week 10, have an excellent run defense.
