BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 46% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The magnitude of Tank Bigsby’s involvement in Jacksonville’s backfield rotation had been undetermined prior to Week 1. However, we were finally able to observe the first installment of Jacksonville’s reshaped backfield with Bigsby operating as the Jaguars’ RB2 behind Travis Etienne.
Bigsby’s workload was hardly massive when the Jaguars traveled to Indianapolis. However, his unquestioned role in Jacksonville's rotation elevates him among the top backs who are still attainable on this week’s waiver wires.
He only played on 15 snaps during his NFL debut and was limited to 13 rushing yards on seven carries. He also dropped a pass and lost a fumble. Etienne commandeered a 75% snap share while accumulating 18 rushing attempts and generating 77 yards on the ground. Etienne also collected all five of his targets, while assembling 27 yards as a receiving weapon.
The one-game sample size of Bigsby’s role in Doug Pederson’s offense is destined to expand. For now, he does not supply standalone value. However, he remains an exceptional insurance policy for anyone who has invested in Etienne. Bigsby will also provide RB2 output to fantasy managers if Etienne becomes sidelined as the season progresses.
