Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby struggled with efficiency, but did find the end zone in a 26-23 overtime loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Bigsby finished with 14 carries for 39 yards and a one yard touchdown. He also caught a pass for three yards. Bigsby had similar production to what he has had many times this season. In an overall lackluster offense, he struggled for yardage and wasn't involved in the passing game but found the end zone, all while splitting touches with Travis Etienne Jr. The young back had a much improved second season, but still is fighting an uphill battle to become a full-time starter. He's been better than Etienne Jr. this season, but this week and in the past few weeks, has struggled to separate himself. Bigsby will look to seize a more consistent starting role and earn more volume in the 2025 NFL season.
Tank Bigsby A Decent Upside Flex Option In Week 18
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby has decent upside against the Indianapolis Colts in the final week of the season. The New York Giants offense was great last week against the Colts, so the Jaguars could be in line for a good offensive game as well. Bigsby would likely be the recipient of a touchdown if that were the case. Also, given the game doesn't mean anything for either team besides draft position, the young back could be in line for extra work as an audition for next season. Bigsby came on strong this season with some big games, both with and without Travis Etienne Jr. in the lineup. The two will likely be battling it out for starter next season, and that competition could start this week. Given that extra motivation, Bigsby seems like a solid flex start with some upside in Week 18.
Tank Bigsby Solid In Backup Role In Week 17 Victory
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby was out touched by teammate Travis Etienne Jr. in a 20-13 win over the Tennessee Titans. He finished with 11 carries for 33 yards. Bigsby has had an interesting season. Etienne Jr. has struggled, opening the door for Bigsby to take over as starter. He shined early on in the season, then got hurt, and hasn't been able to seize the starting role again since. He did receive double digit carries each of the last four weeks, but without better efficiency and more pass game involvement, he isn't anything more than a touchdown-dependent fantasy option. On an offense that doesn't score much, that is not ideal. Bigsby will look to improve his efficiency on likely decent volume in Week 18 against the Indianapolis Colts.
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby has decent potential as a flex option, but is a bit touchdown reliant in Week 17 against the Tennessee Titans. The second-year back out of Auburn has had an up-and-down season, having some big games and some letdown games. The main road block he has faced, besides small injuries, is the presence of Travis Etienne Jr. Bigsby has been the more explosive back and better by the goal line, but Etienne Jr. eats into his carry total and passing work. Bigsby has gotten double digit carries in each of his last three games, including 18 against the Titans in Week 14. He only averaged 3.1 yards per carry that game, but he did find the endzone. If Bigsby can improve his efficiency and find the endzone again, he could make for a decent flex in Week 17.
Tank Bigsby Scores Goal-Line Touchdown In Week 16 Loss
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby had a solid fantasy outing in a 19-14 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Bigsby finished with 12 carries for 50 yards and a touchdown and one catch for one yard. The young back from Auburn out touched and was more efficient than teammate Travis Etienne Jr. He finished with an average of 4.2 yards per carry compared to Etienne Jr.'s 2.4 yards per carry on nine carries. Bigsby also scored a one-yard touchdown, a good sign for his fantasy prospects going forward. While the Jaguars seem to be using a hot-hand approach, the general pattern this season has been Etienne Jr. is slightly more involved in the passing game while Bigsby is slightly more involved in the running game. Bigsby will look to continue leading the backfield in carries and goal line opportunities in Week 17 against the Tennessee Titans.
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby is a flex option, at best, in Week 16 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Bigsby was demoted to a backup role behind Travis Etienne Jr. in Week 15, making it hard to trust him in fantasy going forward. The Raiders do serve as a good matchup and potentially an unusually positive game script for the Jaguars, meaning both Bigsby and Etienne could get plenty of carries to succeed in fantasy. However, Mac Jones has been volatile at quarterback since replacing injured starter Trevor Lawrence (shoulder), making it hard to trust the Jaguars offense as a whole. Given Bigsby can't be counted on for consistent volume, he is nothing more than a risky flex play despite a good matchup with the Raiders in Week 16.
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.
Tank Bigsby A Flex Play Given Potential Volume In Week 15
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.
Tank Bigsby Earns Huge Share Of Backfield Touches In Week 14
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.
Tank Bigsby Has Potential For More Work In Week 14
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.
