Jaguars' Tank Bigsby: Struggles on eight carries Sunday
Tank Bigsby (ankle) rushed eight times for 22 yards and was not targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 28-23 loss to the Eagles.Bigsby suffered from the return of Travis Etienne (hamstring) on Sunday, as neither back provided fantasy value in a tandem role. The 23-year-old Bigsby was a huge fantasy play in recent weeks with 196 rushing yards and two trips to the end zone in his previous two contests, but he struggled mightily in a split role against Philadelphia. Consider both Jacksonville Jaguars running backs flex plays at best heading into Week 10, with Bigsby being the better bet for a touchdown against the Vikings next Sunday.

Jaguars' Tank Bigsby: Officially active in Week 9
Tank Bigsby (ankle) is active for Sunday's Week 9 matchup against the Eagles.The emerging second-year back was expected to suit up after turning in a trio of limited practices throughout the week, and Bigsby's availability now is confirmed. However, unlike the previous two weeks when Bigsby was able to operate as the clear lead back and rush for 196 yards and two touchdowns in the absence of Travis Etienne (hamstring), the latter also is active Sunday and therefore will eat into the former's touches.

Jaguars' Tank Bigsby: Likely to suit up Sunday
Tank Bigsby, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles with an ankle injury, is expected to play in the contest, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.An ankle injury held Bigsby to a trio of limited practices this week, but he looks like he'll be cleared to play in Philadelphia when Jacksonville releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. Fellow running back Travis Etienne (hamstring) is also listed as questionable after taking part in three limited practices during the week, but it's not yet clear if he'll make his return from a two-game absence. If both players suit up Sunday, it will be interesting to see how opportunities are divided, as Etienne has been Jacksonville's No. 1 back for the majority of the season but Bigsby has thrived over the past two weeks, totaling 196 rushing yards on 44 carries (4.5 YPC) and adding a pair of touchdowns.

Jaguars' Tank Bigsby: Questionable, as is Etienne
Tank Bigsby (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.Both Bigsby and Travis Etienne (hamstring) logged three consecutive limited practices this week and are listed as questionable. Bigsby's in slightly better position to suit up considering Etienne has missed the previous two games, but if they both play, Bigsby likely would find himself in a timeshare after logging 44 carries for 196 yards and two touchdowns during Etienne's two-game absence. Sunday's game in Philadelphia has a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, further complicating matters for fantasy managers.

Jaguars' Tank Bigsby: Stays limited in practice
Tank Bigsby (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.Both Bigsby and Travis Etienne (hamstring) have had their reps capped in the Jacksonville Jaguars' first two Week 9 practices, leaving the statuses of the two running backs tentatively in question for Sunday's game against the Eagles. Though head coach Doug Pederson has previously said that he views Etienne as the team's starter when both are healthy, Bigsby may have earned himself a larger share of the snaps and touches out of the backfield based on how he's performed the past two weeks. With Etienne missing both of those contests, Bigsby has stepped in as the Jaguars' lead back and has scored two touchdowns and has averaged 4.5 yards per carry on 44 totes while chipping in two receptions for eight yards on four targets.

Jaguars' Tank Bigsby: Limited by ankle issue
Tank Bigsby was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury.Both of the Jacksonville Jaguars' top two running backs were limited to begin Week 9 prep, as Travis Etienne (hamstring) also operated with a cap on his reps after missing the past two games. Head coach Doug Pederson said Wednesday that he "feels good" about Etienne's chances of playing Sunday against the Eagles, which could set the stage for a backfield timeshare between Bigsby and Etienne in Week 9, provided Bigsby's ankle issue doesn't affect his availability. While Etienne was sidelined the past two weeks, D'Ernest Johnson operated as the Jaguars' primary passing-down back, but Bigsby served as the clear lead runner (44 carries for 196 yards and two touchdowns).

Jaguars' Tank Bigsby: Gains 86 yards on 20 touches
Tank Bigsby rushed 18 times for 78 yards while catching two of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to Green Bay.Bigsby served as the Jacksonville Jaguars' top back after Travis Etienne (hamstring) was deemed inactive prior to Sunday's kickoff. The 23-year-old Bigsby churned out a decent fantasy performance off of 20 touches, which bodes well for his already rising value heading into Week 9. Bigsby should remain a significant part of Jacksonville's offense heading into next Sunday's tilt against Philadelphia, irrespective of Etienne's status for that contest.

Jaguars' Tank Bigsby: Set to start vs. Green Bay
Tank Bigsby is poised to start Sunday against the Packers with Travis Etienne (hamstring) inactive for a second straight game.It will be the second straight start for Bigsby after serving as the No. 2 tailback in Jacksonville's first six games of 2024. The 23-year-old excelled in that role prior to Etienne's injury and has 53 carries for 333 yards and four touchdowns across the past four games. He'll likely cede some snaps to D'Ernest Johnson in passing situations, so the game script could dictate how big a workload Bigsby receives given he has just two targets all season.

Jaguars' Tank Bigsby: Appears headed for another start
Tank Bigsby is expected to serve as the Jacksonville Jaguars' lead option out of the backfield Sunday against the Packers with Travis Etienne (hamstring) listed as questionable for the contest but considered a longshot to play, sources tell Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.While serving as a backup to Etienne in the Jaguars' first six games, Bigsby shined in a supporting role, as the second-year back averaged 7.2 yards over his 41 carries during that stretch. He continued to excel while seeing his biggest workload to date in the Jaguars' Week 7 win over the Patriots in London, carrying 26 times for 118 yards and two touchdowns. With Etienne trending toward another absence, Bigsby could be in store for another hefty touch count, though the Jaguars' reluctance to use him on passing downs makes Bigsby somewhat game-script sensitive. If the 2-5 Jaguars were to fall behind early by multiple scores against the 5-2 Packers and make the running game a lesser priority, Bigsby -- who has drawn just two targets all season -- could cede considerable playing time to D'Ernest Johnson.

Jaguars' Tank Bigsby: Stars in starting role
Tank Bigsby rushed 26 times for 118 yards and two touchdowns and failed to bring in his only target during the Jacksonville Jaguars' 32-16 win over the Patriots on Sunday in London.With Travis Etienne (hamstring) inactive, Bigsby had an opportunity to handle a lead-back role that he already seemed to be building toward in recent games. The second-year back did not disappoint with the expanded opportunity, rounding out his second career 100-yard effort, both of which have come in the last three games, with touchdown runs of one and four yards in the second and fourth quarters, respectively. Given his showing Sunday and the lingering nature of hamstring injuries, Bigsby could well helm the ground attack again in a Week 8 home matchup against the Packers.
