Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby was delegated to a backup role in a pass-heavy game in Week 15 against the New York Jets. The young back out of Auburn finished with 42 yards on 11 carries. Bigsby has been the better back than Travis Etienne Jr. for most of the season, but down the stretch Etienne Jr. is starting to claim the starting role again. Add on a pass-heavy approach to the game (46 passing attempts) and you get a running back with very limited upside. Part of what made Bigsby a solid fantasy asset earlier in the season was his ability to break off big runs despite lower volume. Possibly due to lingering lower-body injuries, that big-play ability seems to be eluding him. Bigsby will look to get back on track with more volume in Week 16 against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby should get a good dose of carries in Week 15 against the New York Jets. Bigsby received 18 carries compared to fellow back Travis Etienne Jr.'s four carries in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans. Given Bigsby dominated the rushing volume while Etienne Jr. got more work in the passing game, it's easy to believe Week 15 will be more of the same. Bigsby also mustered a rushing touchdown, the only touchdown of the game for the Jaguars, so if he can be more efficient than his 3.1 yards per carry, he could be in for another solid fantasy day. Bigsby should have good enough volume out of the backfield to be considered a solid flex option in Week 15 against the Jets.
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby was the lead back in a 10-6 victory over the Tennessee Titans. The former Auburn back finished with 18 carries for 55 yards and a touchdown, as well as one catch for seven yards. Bigsby out-touched fellow back Travis Etienne Jr. 19 to eight but was less efficient with his touches. That didn't matter from a fantasy perspective, as a rushing touchdown salvaged what would have otherwise been a mediocre fantasy output. With Mac Jones under center instead of Trevor Lawrence, Bigsby's yards per carry fell to 3.1, well below his 4.3 average for the season, but the volume was enough to still produce fantasy points. Bigsby will look to maintain this level of volume with better efficiency against the New York Jets in Week 15.
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby should fare better in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans than last week. Bigsby has been struggling with injuries but is completely off the injury report this week. He is back to splitting work as the backup for Travis Etienne Jr. after putting up 28 yards on seven carries and seven yards on one reception in Week 13 against the Houston Texans. Etienne Jr. had 16 touches, double that of Bigsby, but given the young back out of Auburn has looked like the more explosive back all season, it is likely that touches even out more this week. The Jaguars could play with a lead more than usual and run the ball more against the Titans, but given the offense's volatility with Mac Jones under center, Bigsby should be viewed as nothing more than a flex option in Week 14.
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby only touched the ball eight times, putting up 28 rushing yards and seven receiving yards against the Houston Texans in Week 13. Bigsby entered the week questionable with an ankle injury, so it wasn't too surprising his workload was limited. That also seemed to limit his explosiveness, as he only averaged four yards per carry. That was still better than running mate Travis Etienne Jr.'s 3.5 yards per carry, so there is optimism that Bigsby can return to the form he showed he was capable of in the middle of the season. The Jaguars face the Tennessee Titans in Week 14, where Bigsby will look to get healthier and more involved in the offense, whether Mac Jones or Trevor Lawrence is under center.
