Tank Bigsby Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

The Jaguars are trading RB Tank Bigsby to the Eagles. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Philly's sending fifth- and sixth-round picks in the 2026 draft to Jacksonville.

No matter how you look at it, Travis Etienne dominated the Week 1 Jacksonville backfield. The rushing numbers are obvious. He racked up a 16-143 rushing line. A 71-yard second-quarter run delivered a big boost; but even without that, his other 15 rushes averaged 4.8 yards. Etienne also played 40 of 66 offensive snaps (60.6%) vs. just 14 for Tank Bigsby, nine for LeQuint Allen, and four for Bhayshul Tuten. Etienne's 15 pass routes also accounted for more than half of the backfield's total. Bigsby and Allen combined for the other 13.

John Shipley of Sports Illustrated believes the Jaguars will look to move either RB Travis Etienne or Tank Bigsby.

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne got the start in Jacksonville’s preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday. Despite a potential RB competition, Etienne played every snap with Jacksonville’s starting offense. Etienne could be the best fit for HC Liam Coen’s offense, according to John Shipley of Sports Illustrated.

Tank Bigsby has been the Jaguars' best RB and has received the most first-team touches in training camp so far, according to multiple beat writers. Sports Illustrated's John Shipley wrote that Friday's practice was the "Tank Bigsby Show."

Jacksonville's backfield will be one of the most interesting to watch through summer. SI.com Jaguars beat writer weighed in (mildly) this week by positing, "My guess is Travis Etienne is the lead running back." That came as part of a full 53-man roster projection, and he followed that with "but all four get some run at some point." The other three: Tank Bigsby, fourth-round rookie Bhayshul Tuten, and seventh-round rookie LeQuint Allen. The standing seems particularly noteworthy for Etienne because he's been a subject of recent trade rumors.

The Athletic’s Jeff Howe calls RB Bhayshul Tuten the biggest value pick of the Jags’ 2025 rookie class and believes he can earn a Year 1 role. GM James Gladstone selected Tuten in Round 4 (pick No. 104) of April's draft.

The Jaguars selected Virginia Tech RB Bhayshul Tuten in Round 4 of the 2025 NFL Draft. Tuten carried the Virginia Tech offense for two years after transferring from North Carolina A&T. He posted two straight seasons of 1,000+ total yards and 10+ TDs. It’s easy to love his explosion and toughness on film, especially given the number of stacked boxes that he faced. Physically, Tuten is an absolute freak. At the Combine, he proved it with a 4.32 forty time, a 10’10” broad jump, and a 40.5” vertical. He’s also able to bench press 400 pounds. Overall, he tallied an excellent 9.32 Relative Athletic Score at 5’9, 206 pounds. If he can clean up the drops and fumbles, Tuten could supply some explosive plays in the NFL.

Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby (ankle) was a full-go in practice all week and is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Texans. It’s unclear how carries will be divvied between Bigsby and RB Travis Etienne. And the matchup is tough against Houston’s fifth-ranked RB defense. Bigsby is not a recommended Week 13 fantasy play.

Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. That puts him on track to play against the Texans this weekend -- and makes Jacksonville's backfield one to avoid in fantasy lineups. It's unclear how work will be divvied between Bigsby and Travis Etienne. And Houston ranks fifth in adjusted fantasy points allowed to RBs.

Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game vs. the Lions after missing practice all week. His absence makes RB Travis Etienne a more palatable Week 11 fantasy play, although his team is still a 14-point underdog with a week-low 16.5-point implied total. D'Ernest Johnson will be Jacksonville's No. 2 RB in Detroit.

Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He got banged up in last week's loss to the Vikings, finishing with just two carries on 10 snaps. HC Doug Pederson said afterward that it was "nothing serious," but Bigsby's status bears monitoring over the next few days. His absence would make RB Travis Etienne a more palatable fantasy play against the Lions on Sunday.

Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby injured his ankle in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Vikings and is officially questionable to return. We'll update his status when we know more.

Update: Bigsby returned later in the first quarter.

Jaguars RB D’Ernest Johnson (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Vikings. He should be the team’s No. 3 RB, stealing a few touches from RBs Tank Bigsby and Travis Etienne.
