BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 18% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Fantasy managers in need of running back help should strongly consider picking up Tank Bigsby, especially after his impressive performance last week against the Texans, where he racked up 90 yards on just seven carries.
Bigsby's efficiency and explosiveness on limited touches make him an appealing option, particularly for managers looking to add depth at the running back position.
His ability to make big plays when given the opportunity highlights his potential for more involvement in the Jaguars' offense moving forward, even in a complementary role to Travis Etienne.
Tank Bigsby
- Elite handcuff
- Another 80+ rush game
- Talented day 2 prospect
- Travis Etienne battling injuryHe’s playing well as the backup running back in JAX…
I expect him to be a 20-30% snap guy but if Etienne misses time he’s the guy.pic.twitter.com/emoY1oanou

For managers who already roster Etienne, adding Bigsby is a smart insurance move. Etienne has been the lead back, but Bigsby’s performance shows he could step in seamlessly if Etienne were to miss time or if the Jaguars opt for more of a committee approach.
With his powerful running style and playmaking ability, Bigsby offers both handcuff value and standalone Flex potential in deeper leagues, making him a must-add for those seeking upside at running back.
