BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2
ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby (ankle) had another solid workload in Week 8 against the Green Bay Packers. He was the primary running back in the absence of Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) and handled 18 carries for 78 yards while catching two passes on three targets for eight yards.

He's had an impressive stretch of games when "ETN" hasn't been much of a factor and had two explosive games in Weeks 5 and 7. The return of the original starter will be interesting, though. While Jags head coach Doug Pederson initially claimed that Etienne would remain the starter, Bigsby's dominance has become impossible to ignore.

Perhaps even more importantly, he was involved in the passing game, although minimally. This will be absolutely crucial to his fantasy value moving forward. If JAX trusts him enough to keep him on the field for passing downs, he could become a true workhorse back with PPR upside.
He only had two targets all season before Week 8. Losing snaps to D'Ernest Johnson and Etienne hurt No. 4's fantasy value, but if that's about to change, he could become a league-winner. For now, he's a start based on talent alone. ETN is unlikely to become a bell cow back again, and we should see plenty more yards and touchdowns from Bigsby.

The wide receiver position has an advantage over the running back position in PPR scoring formats, typically. Receivers' main job of catching the football leads to them scoring more points per touch, and those WRs that consistently get high volume can produce great results with a strong floor. Not every WR is like this, though, […]
