BALLER MOVE: Start Bigsby if you feel a Jaguars bounce-back game coming, or play in deeper fantasy formats
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/RB4
ANALYSIS: After a disappointing rookie campaign in 2023, Bigsby has redeemed himself in 2024, showing why he was a Day 2 pick on NFL Draft weekend. Starting running back Travis Etienne has been limited with a hamstring injury, and the Jaguars get a juicy matchup against the Patriots in London in Week 7.
So far on the year, Bigsby has 41 rush attempts for 297 yards (7.2 YPC) and two touchdowns. However, he isn't used much as a receiver, with just one reception for 28 yards.
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

In Week 6, Bigsby played 27% of the team's snaps with seven rushes for 24 yards. Fellow backmate D'Ernest Johnson played the majority of the snaps in a losing effort.
If the Jaguars can get out to an early lead in this one, Bigsby could be in for a solid day. He is a game-script-dependent back, but Bigsby at least deserves your attention if Etienne is ruled out for Week 7.
