Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Gets into end zone Saturday
Tank Bigsby logged four rushes for 37 yards and a touchdown Saturday in a 29-18 Week 16 win over Washington.As usual, Saquon Barkley was a workhorse for the Philadelphia Eagles, posting a 21-132-1 line as a rusher. That left just eight offensive snaps for Bigsby, but he made the most of those opportunities, especially when he ripped off a 22-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter to effectively seal the win for Philadelphia. The touchdown was the first of the campaign for Bigsby, who has averaged a robust 6.6 yards on 40 carries this season but isn't likely to be a viable fantasy play as long as Barkley as healthy.

Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Good to go
Tank Bigsby (illlness) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.Bigsby should be back at full strength for Saturday's game against Washington, if he isn't already. He took 17 carries for 57 yards during Sunday's 31-0 win over the Raiders, but 13 of those carries came in the fourth quarter after Saquon Barkley was done for the day. Barkley (neck) was also a full practice participant Wednesday, leaving Bigsby in his usual reserve role this week.

Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Limited due to illness
Tank Bigsby was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice due to an illness.Bigsby will have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Saturday's road game against the Commanders. The third-year running back is coming off his highest-usage game of the regular season, when he turned 17 carries into 57 yards during Sunday's 31-0 win over the Raiders. Thirteen of those carries came in the fourth quarter, as the Philadelphia Eagles limited the wear and tear on lead back Saquon Barkley (stinger) while they had the game well in hand.

Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Big role late in blowout
Tank Bigsby carried the ball 17 times for 57 yards in Sunday's blowout victory over the Raiders.A total of 13 of Bigsby's 17 carries came after the Philadelphia Eagles went up 31-0 at the start of the fourth quarter. He wasn't particularly efficient, averaging 3.4 yards per carry on the day, but his fourth-quarter efforts helped the Eagles to an 11-minute, 22-second drive which killed off the game. Expect his role to shrink again next week if the Eagles aren't up big, as his 27 offensive snaps are equal to his total from the last five games combined.

Eagles' Tank Bigsby: One carry in OT loss
Bigbsy rushed once for four yards in Monday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers.Tank Bigsby played just seven of the Philadelphia Eagles' 71 offensive snaps, behind starter Saquon Barkley (58) and tied with Will Shipley. The 24-year-old running back has failed to gain more than eight yards in four out of the last five contests, handling just nine total carries over that span. Bigsby remains a solid insurance policy in Philadelphia's backfield in the event that Barkley were to miss time due to injury, but the Auburn product has little standalone value for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Raiders.

Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Logs one offensive snap Friday
Tank Bigsby didn't record a touch while playing just one of Philadelphia's 53 offensive snaps in Friday's 24-15 loss to the Bears.Bigsby had received at least one carry in each of the Philadelphia Eagles' last five games prior to Friday's loss. The negative game script likely factored into his lack of playing time, as Philadelphia turned to a pass-catching back in Will Shipley when spelling Saquon Barkley while trailing for nearly the entire game. Despite limited usage, Bisgby has been incredibly efficient in his 11 games with the Eagles, averaging 9.1 yards per carry on just 18 rush attempts. However, he'll likely remain a minimal portion of the team's offensive game plan in the Week 14 matchup against the Chargers.

Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Minimal output in loss
Tank Bigsby rushed once for eight yards in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Cowboys.The third-year back from Auburn played just three offensive snaps in the Week 12 loss, his lowest total since the Week 6 loss to the Giants. Bigsby has appeared in 10 games since joining the Philadelphia Eagles in early September, rushing 18 times for 164 yards while also accumulating 187 kickoff-return yards. He's expected to continue operating as the team's No. 2 running back in the Week 13 matchup against the Bears.

Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Four carries in Week 11 win
Tank Bigsby rushed four times for 34 yards in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Lions.Bigsby's stat line wasn't particularly impressive, but both his carries and yards represent his second-best numbers since joining the Philadelphia Eagles via trade after Week 1. It would take an injury to Saquon Barkley for Bigsby to become a significant part of the Eagles' gameplan.

Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Role shrinks with Barkley healthy
Tank Bigsby gained seven yards on three carries in Monday's 10-7 win over the Packers.He rushed for 104 yards in Week 9 after Saquon Barkley left early with a groin injury, but with the Philadelphia Eagles' lead back healthy again following a bye week, Bigsby had very little to do in Week 11. Bigsby also saw a smaller workload than fellow depth RB Will Shipley, who played 12 offensive snaps and had six touches compared to Bigsby's six and three.

Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Tops century mark Sunday
Tank Bigsby carried the ball nine times for 104 yards in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Giants.Saquon Barkley left early in the fourth quarter with a groin injury, and Bigsby did most of his damage as the Philadelphia Eagles put the game to bed. It was still a very impressive performance from the former Jaguar, who came into the afternoon with just 23 rushing yards on the season between Jacksonville and Philly while being primarily used as a kickoff returner. The Eagles get a well-timed Week 9 bye, so Barkley may not miss any further action, but if he's not ready to return for a Week 10 clash with the Packers, Bigsby could find himself handling a very significant role in the offense.
