Have been aggressively drafting Tank Bigsby since discussing PHI projections on ETE podcast. In my undying search for confirmation bias, I enjoyed hearing Ryan talk about the superior RB efficiency/ability metrics teams have via play-by-play player tracking data. [Quoted](

I feel like this is a really good time to make some low-cost, speculative Dynasty Buys It's right before training camp, and a lot of the discussion and focus has been on bigger-name starters Here are 10 players I am looking to buy or keep my eye on early in this season (can also be viewed as cheap "add-on" players in bigger trades) 1. Tank Bigsby 2. Dalton Kincaid 3. Gunnar Helm 4. Terrance Ferguson 5. Dylan Sampson 6. Tory Horton 7. Keaton Mitchell 8. Dontayvion Wicks 9. Adonai Mitchell 10....

Very subtle mention here, but confirmation of Tank Bigsby as the locked-in handcuff RB2 to Saquon Barkley Still cheaper than Woody Marks and Isiah Pacheco who I view as having almost no standalone value Bigsby is the most talented of the 3

Bigsby is locked in as Saquon Barkley's backup in the Eagles' crowded running back room.

Tank Bigby is taken as the fifth running back and is considered ideal value in full PPR format, though noted as slightly less exciting than other options.

PositiveValueJul 18, 2026Flock Fantasy

Tank Bigsby is a late-round handcuff with elite rushing efficiency metrics: RB1 in yards after contact per carry, RB2 in tackles avoided per carry, and RB5 in explosive rush rate over the past two seasons. If Saquon Barkley were to get injured, Bigsby would be an immediate top-15 running back in fantasy.

PositiveSleeperJul 17, 2026Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz

There's a scenario where Crod mixes in meaningful work in a committee and Laquent Allen is used on regular passing downs, creating a three-back committee that would hurt Bigsby's value.

If Tank Bigsby is the clear lead back getting 17+ touches weekly, he would be a smash at his ADP in the middle rounds.

PositiveValueJul 17, 2026Fantasy Football Advice

Tank Bigsby is the clear lead back in Jaguars camp, getting 17+ touches every week with Crod getting only a couple carries on early downs and Laquent Allen in a complementary role.

PositiveRoleJul 17, 2026Fantasy Football Advice

Tank Bigsby has upside if he can earn a role rotating in and out of the two-three spot, as he was an exciting rookie before his injury.

PositiveBreakoutJul 17, 2026Fantasy Football Advice

Tank Bigsby's ADP as a WR78 could skyrocket if he looks healthy and explosive in camp three-wide receiver sets.

Tank Bigsby suffered a brutal injury in 2024 and will have over 20 months to recover by week one; his health status entering the season is uncertain.

Mentioned as a handcuff option being drafted in later rounds (round 8-9) as running backs are being depleted early in snake drafts.

If every single NFL starting RB decided to quit their job tomorrow to pursue a life of crime instead, the top-five fantasy backs would be: 1. TreVeyon Henderson 2. Blake Corum 3. Rico Dowdle 4. Kyle Monangai 5. Tank Bigsby

Bigsby is presented as a smart late-round handcuff to Saquon Barkley in round 15, providing safety and value.

Tank Bigsby is highlighted as one of the analyst's favorite late-round handcuff running backs, with solid flex potential if Saquon Barkley gets injured.

Mentioned as a high-end handcuff option, but the analyst prefers limiting handcuff usage to one or two rather than stashing multiple on the bench.

Bigsby is a strong insurance back in Philadelphia's backfield but not a real threat to Saquon Barkley's role as the clear centerpiece.

Tank Bigsby since the 2024 season, among 44 RBs w/ 200+ carries (per @FantasyPtsData): + 4.86 YPC (8th) + 3.26 yards after contact/att (1st) + 0.19 MTF/Att (t-8th) + 5.6% explosive rush rate (10th) + 1.49 explosive rush yds/att (8th) He's also 6th among all RBs in EPA/Rush in this time. Bigsby has all the makings of a top-tier handcuff. He’s got the size + talent to assume a strong workload and not get boxed out of meaningful work by another RB/a vet off the street. A lot of theoretical hand...

Tank Bigsby is THE handcuff to target 🎯

Tara prefers Tank Bigsby as the highest upside handcuff option, targeting him as the backup in the Ravens' run-heavy offense with goal-line touchdown upside.

PositiveValueJul 8, 2026FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast

Jake doesn't think Bigsby will get a full workload because he's not a big pass catcher and will share more carries than people might assume.

Mentioned as alternative late-round RB with potentially better ADP value than Vidal; no detailed discussion of his profile or role.

Agree on Skattebo being a risky bet given the injury (never draft him), but don’t love the idea of Tracy being one of the highest priced RB2s in drafts given the demonstrated workload split we saw in 2025 w/ Singletary when Skatt went down. From Wk8 on, he accounted for ~60% of total carries, and just 26% (!) of the goal line work per @FantasyPtsData. He was just the RB23 in this time. Granted this could change some given the staff change in 2026, but it's definitely not encouraging. Especia...

Bigsby was traded to the Eagles in week two for fifth and sixth round picks and posted elite efficiency metrics last year: RB1 overall in EPA per carry, RB2 in yards per carry, and RB6 in success rate among 60 qualifying running backs—all better than Saquon Barkley. He's the clear handcuff to Barkley and would immediately enter the top-15 fantasy running back conversation if Barkley misses time. His efficiency metrics suggest he might be the best handcuff on the board, ahead of Isaiah Pacheco. Bigsby is the fifth handcuff off the board but should be ranked higher; there's a legitimate case for him to be the number-one handcuff in fantasy football this season. The Eagles offense is superior to other backup situations, and Bigsby has evidence of being pretty good, unlike Isaiah Pacheco. He's a best-ball play rather than a redraft staple, but grabbing him as your RB5 alongside an RB4 like Chris Rodriguez or Bill Krosky Merritt allows you to play both sides of the sleeper profile.

PositiveSleeperJul 6, 2026Underdog Fantasy Football - Josh & Hayden

Viewed by community as the preferred Jaguars back; 2nd-year player ahead of Rodriguez on depth chart. Multiple comments favor Bigsby over Rodriguez, with some noting Bigsby is 'the most explosive' per Jags camp reporting and should lead the backfield.
