Bigsby's elite efficiency metrics and Week 18 performance showcase elite handcuff upside if Barkley gets injured.

Bigsby is one of the best handcuffs in the NFL but rarely gets mentioned in top handcuff conversations. Last year among 65 qualifying backs, he ranked fourth in explosive run rate, second in missed tackle rate, and first in yards after contact per attempt (Fantasy Points Data). In Week 18, the one game he played more than 40% of snaps, he logged 17 touches for 106 total yards and finished as RB9 in PPR scoring, demonstrating his fantasy value if Saquon Barkley misses time. Derek Brown identifies Bigsby as one of the best handcuffs to stash.
