Tank Bigsby Fantasy Stats

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby showcased his talents in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Washington Commanders with the team resting starter Saquon Barkley. Bigsby played a season-high 59% of the offensive snaps and had 16 rushing attempts for 75 yards and a touchdown, also adding one catch for a 31-yard gain. Four of the 24-year-old's carries went for at least eight yards to finish with a 4.7 yard-per-carry average. It was a nice showing for the former third-rounder, but he'll go back to being Barkley's backup for Sunday's Wild-Card matchup versus the visiting San Franciscoso 49ers. In his 17 total games with Philly and the Jacksonville Jaguars during the regular season, Bigsby had 63 carries for 356 yards and two touchdowns while adding three catches for 32 yards. With a minor role likely coming against San Fran, Bigsby won't be a realistic starting option for playoff lineups.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby is expected to be the starter for the regular season finale against the Washington Commanders, with the team resting their starters before the playoffs. Bigbsy has served as the primary backup to Saquon Barkley after being traded to the Eagles from Jacksonville following Week 1. The 24-year-old has been one of the most efficient runners in the league on his small sample of carries, handling 47 attempts for 281 yards and a touchdown. His 5.98 yards per carry is the highest in the league among running backs with at least 45 carries. The former Jacksonville Jaguar has a prime opportunity to produce in Week 18 against a soft Washington Commanders defense that has allowed the fourth most PPR points per game to running backs this season. Bigsby will likely share touches with Will Shipley, but should receive the bulk of the carries. He is ranked as RotoBaller's RB20 for Week 18.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby could be the starter in Week 18 against the Washington Commanders. Bigsby was traded from the Jaguars to the Eagles after Week 1 and has served as a handcuff to star running back Saquon Barkley this season. However, with the Eagles planning to rest their starters in Week 18, Bigsby could have a clear path to the RB1 role this week. Bigsby has averaged 6.4 yards per carry with the Eagles this season and has played slightly more snaps than Will Shipley behind Barkley. The Commanders have given up the fourth-most fantasy points to running backs this season and, just two weeks ago, allowed Barkley to rush for over 130 yards and a touchdown. Bigsby will be a name to monitor on waivers or as a DFS play if the Eagles decide to rest Barkley and the starters.

Philadelphia running back Tank Bigsby is rostered in fewer than 20% of redraft leagues, but depending on how the Eagles approach the final week of the regular season, he could be a league winner for fantasy managers with a Week 18 title game. Philadelphia is locked into either the number two or number three seed in the NFC playoffs, and it remains unclear how much matchup manipulation they intend to take into Sunday. If the Eagles opt to rest their starters against a Commanders defense that has been the fourth most favorable matchup for fantasy running backs, Bigsby could be in line for a huge week. In a Week 8 win over the Giants, in which Saquon Barkley saw his lowest snap count of the year, Bigsby ran for a season-high 104 yards and finished as the RB20 on the week. If Barkley is rested for the final game of the year, Bigsby has RB1 potential and should be a waiver wire priority in any league that has yet to be settled.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby recorded 37 rushing yards and his first touchdown of the season on four carries against the Commanders last week. Bigsby broke free for a 22-yard score in the fourth quarter, and now averages an impressive 6.1 yards per attempt this year. However, with Saquon Barkley healthy and ready to play, it seems as though any chance of Bigsby stepping into a notable role before season's end has faded away. With his low volume, it would be a massive gamble to start him in fantasy lineups as playoffs come to a close, even against a poor Buffalo run defense. It's best to leave Bigsby benched for Week 17.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby (illness) does not carry an injury designation heading into Saturday's contest against the Commanders. Bigsby recorded his most rushing attempts in a game so far this season against the Raiders last week, racking up 17 carries for 57 yards. He had some heavy fourth quarter involvement with a 31-point lead and the game secured. Bigsby was also just one yard short of his first touchdown of the year. Unfortunately for him, this trend will likely continue, and he will only get this much time on the field when Saquon Barkley is either not healthy or not needed. It's clear at this point that Bigsby is the top understudy in the backfield, but he should not be starting in fantasy with him still being stuck down in the depth chart.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby (illness) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Barring any sort of setback, he should play in Saturday's Week 16 contest against the Washington Commanders without any limitations. Bigsby is coming off his best game of the season as he recorded a 39% snap share, 17 carries, and 57 rushing yards. All three of these marks set new season-highs. The 23-year-old has mostly been buried in a depth role this season. His role behind Saquon Barkley has left him with very few opportunities compared to last season, when he stole touches from Travis Etienne Jr. and finished the year as an RB3. Nevertheless, Bigsby took full advantage of additional opportunities last Sunday. With the Eagles blowing out the Raiders, Bigsby handled a high volume of rushing attempts, albeit with limited efficiency (3.4 YPC). He remains off the redraft radar with his usage expected to come back down to earth on Saturday in Week 16 against the Commanders.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby (illness) was listed as a limited practice participant on Tuesday due to an illness. With Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (stinger) a non-participant in practice due to a stinger he suffered in Week 15, Bigsby could be in line for more work in Philadelphia's Week 16 matchup against the Washington Commanders. The 24-year-old recorded 17 carries for 57 yards in Week 15 and has rushed for 225 yards on 36 carries across 13 games with Philadelphia this season. While Bigsby's status for the weekend is not yet under threat, he will have one fewer day than usual to recover, as the Eagles and Commanders square off on Saturday. If Barkley and Bigsby were both sidelined, Philadelphia would likely turn to the combination of Will Shipley and A.J. Dillon to handle backfield reps in Week 16.

Across 14 games this season, Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby has recorded 41 carries for 237 yards. The 24-year-old's playing time is limited by the presence of star Eagles running back Saquon Barkley, who dominates backfield snaps in Philadelphia. Bigsby has played double-digit snaps in just two games this season, so he holds little to no standalone fantasy value as long as Barkley is healthy. However, if Barkley were to get injured, Bigsby would be in line for a significant workload increase. He's proven he can be effective in a larger role, as he recorded 766 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on 168 carries across 16 games for the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2024. In fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams, Bigsby is worth rostering just in case Barkley goes down over the final weeks of the season.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby finished last week's game against the Chargers with just one carry for four yards. Bigsby played an equal amount of snaps to Will Shipley (seven), who had no rushing attempts but did manage a single catch for three yards. The trend has continued between these backup RBs in Philly, with A.J. Dillon taking a back seat while Shipley is more of an option in the passing game and Bigsby helps relieve Saquon Barkley of carrying duties every now and then. With fantasy playoffs beginning and many fantasy lineups solidified, Bigsby may be beneficial to have as a handcuff now more than ever if managers are cleaning out their benches. However, he still shouldn't be starting while Barkley is in the mix in Week 15 against the Raiders.
