Tank Bigsby: Week 6 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues

ROSTERED IN: 10% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: After back-to-back impressive performances, Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby is a must-add in all league formats.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bigsby had a solid Week 1, rushing for 71 yards. However, he exited the Week 2 matchup against the Browns early and saw little playing time in Week 3 against the Bills. Bigsby bounced back in Week 4 with 90 rushing yards and followed that up in Week 5 with 101 yards and two touchdowns. He's healthy again and running with confidence.

Head coach Doug Pederson and the Jaguars staff are committed to incorporating Bigsby into the game plan, as his snap count has increased each week. Even if he doesn't out-touch starter Travis Etienne as he did last week, Bigsby’s 8 yards per carry keeps him fantasy-relevant.

THEY CALL HIM TANK FOR A REASON.

TANK. BIGSBY.

Concerns remain about Bigsby’s receiving production; he has only one reception this season, with Etienne as the primary recipient. A lack of pass-catching opportunities could limit Bigsby’s upside in PPR leagues, especially with the Jaguars often playing from behind.

In Week 6, the Jaguars face the Bears in an NFL International game in London that the Jaguars could keep close. Given that the matchup is overseas against a strong defense, the Jaguars may lean towards a run-first strategy to open up the field for quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

Even if the Jaguars pound the rock, Bigsby finds himself as a potential flex streamer at best. However, he’s worth stashing as the season progresses, especially for those who own Etienne.
