Tank Bigsby Did Not Live Up To His Name For Fantasy
Last season was very disappointing for everyone who had high hopes for Tank Bigsby. Bigsby was the Jaguars 3rd round pick last season and was expected to be Travis Etienne’s main backup; in the pre-season, it looked like it was going to be a great 1-2 punch, but Bigsby’s preseason performance didn’t translate.
Bigsby’s season started off rough. He fumbled in his first game and essentially rode the bench for most of the year afterward. Bigsby finished his rookie season with just 50 carries for 132 yards and 2 touchdowns, which is nowhere near what people had hoped for. This season, the Jags RB situation is basically the same, which means Bigsby has another chance to be the team's primary backup.
Until Bigsby proves otherwise, he is no more than a handcuff for fantasy, as Etienne is expected to receive the majority of the work despite the Jags wanting a compliment. If Bigsby shows he is improved and can hold onto the ball, he may take some touches away from Etienne, but until further notice, he is strictly a handcuff. He might even lose that role to D'Ernest Johnson if he keeps fumbling the football.
Our consensus projections for Bigsby in the 2024 season are 54 carries for 152 yards and 1 rushing touchdown. As well as 5 receptions, 47 yards, and 0 touchdowns.
