Tank Bigsby Fantasy

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby did not receive any opportunities in Week 2, recording 0 total yards in the loss vs. Kansas City. It was odd usage for the rookie running back who saw 21% of snaps in Week 1 and was given seven carries, one of which he turned into a touchdown. The game was a competitive grind fest throughout, so game script could be the culprit here with the Jags opting to leave their more trusted back Etienne in the game for longer stretches. It's worth noting that third-string running back D'Ernest Johnson only logged one rush, so Bigsby presumably still has the RB2 position locked up, but it's definitely a situation worth monitoring. He'll look to bounce back next week against the Texans and their weak run defense.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby will look to hit paydirt once again in Week 2, this time taking on the Kansas City Chiefs. The rookie running back was used sparingly in Week 1 at Indy, receiving seven carries and only gaining 13 yards. Bigsby was also only targeted once in the passing game. His backfield mate Travis Etienne unsurprisingly got a large majority of the work, putting Bisgby off the playable radar in almost all formats. The Auburn product was utilized around the goal line giving him some touchdown upside, but he's unlikely to provide much value at all unless he scores, making him a very risky play. He's better left on the bench for now.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby has been impressive during training camp and preseason action. The former Auburn Tiger has 122 yards on 22 carries in six quarters of preseason games. However, his role in the Jacksonville offense could start out small and progress as the season moves along. "Jacksonville coach Doug Pederson said he doesn't want to overload Bigsby early in the season." Michael DiRocco of ESPN wrote. "But it's likely his role will expand as the season progresses." Bigsby is an attractive bench stash for fantasy football. If Travis Etienne has to miss any time, the rookie would operate as the lead back in one of the league's most exciting offenses.
