Jaguars' Tank Bigsby: Splits backfield evenly
Tank Bigsby rushed the ball 12 times for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-14 loss to the Raiders. He added one reception on on one target for one yard.The Jacksonville Jaguars were in a tightly contested battle with the Raiders throughout the day, allowing them to stick with the ground game a bit more than is typically the case. That benefitted Bigsby, who ended the contest with two more touches than Etienne. He also had a fairly efficient showing that was highlighted by a long gain of 10 yards and a one-yard touchdown plunge late in the first quarter. A Week 17 matchup against the Titans should also be close, so Bigsby could see be in line for decent volume once again.

Jaguars' Tank Bigsby: Out-touched 18-11 by Etienne
Tank Bigsby rushed 11 times for 42 yards and didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 32-25 loss to the Jets.After out-touching Travis Etienne, 19-8, in Week 14 against the Titans, Bigsby returned to a complementary role against the Jets, finishing with 11 touches to Etienne's 18. They'll likely continue to work as a tandem in Week 16, when the Jacksonville Jaguars could have a more run-heavy game script than usual in a battle between bottom-feeders against the Raiders. Bigsby has just five catches all season, so he relies almost exclusively on rushing contributions while the versatile Etienne can play in all situations.

Jaguars' Tank Bigsby: Retakes lead in backfield
Tank Bigsby rushed the ball 18 times for 55 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 10-6 win over the Titans. He added one reception on two targets for seven yards.Bigsby returned from a one-game absence in Week 13 and was in a committee backfield with Travis Etienne. His usage changed significantly Sunday, as he out-touched Etienne 19-8, including 18-4 in rushing attempts. Bigsby wasn't particularly effective with the opportunity by averaging just 3.1 yards per rush with a long of 12 yards. However, he did punch in an eight-yard touchdown to tally the go-ahead score for the Jacksonville Jaguars, and his usage in the victory makes him a more appealing fantasy option moving forward.

Jaguars' Tank Bigsby: Totals eight touches
Tank Bigsby carried seven times for 28 yards and caught his lone target for seven yards during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Texans.The 23-year-old returned from a one-game absence due to an ankle issue and played 46 percent of the offensive snaps. Bigsby appeared on track to take over the starting job earlier this season after a five-game stretch in which he tallied 447 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns, but Travis Etienne now has a bit more upside because he sees more passing-down work in this backfield committee.

Jaguars' Tank Bigsby: Practices fully Wednesday
Tank Bigsby (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.Bigsby missed the Jacksonville Jaguars' Week 11 loss to the Lions, but the team's Week 12 bye week provided enough time off for the running back to get healthy. With both Bigsby and Travis Etienne available for this coming Sunday's game against the Texans and D'Ernest Johnson occasionally factoring in as third option out of the backfield, Bigsby doesn't shape up as a reliable fantasy option in Week 13.

Jaguars' Tank Bigsby: Will practice, optimism for Week 11
Coach Doug Pederson said Tank Bigsby (ankle) will practice Friday, and he's optimistic the running back will play Sunday against the Lions, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports."Optimistic," Pederson said Friday morning. "But today will be a big day for him." After missing practice Wednesday and Thursday, a Friday return gives Bigsby a chance to play Sunday in Detroit. If he's cleared to play, the Jacksonville Jaguars likely will continue to use a three-man backfield, consisting of Bigsby, Travis Etienne and D'Ernest Johnson, leaving none as upside fantasy plays against a tough Lions run defense.

Jaguars' Tank Bigsby: Misses another practice
Tank Bigsby (ankle) didn't practice Thursday.After having missed consecutive practices to begin Week 11 prep, Bigsby's status for Sunday's game against the Lions is cloudy. His outlook could change if he's able to practice in any capacity Friday, but if Bigsby is held out this weekend with an eye toward giving him added healing time during the Jacksonville Jaguars' upcoming Week 12 bye, Travis Etienne would be in line to see added backfield snaps and touches versus Detroit.
