Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Bills after a limited week of practice. HC Doug Pederson said multiple times this week that he expected Bigsby to be ready for this one, but he's evidently not a lock. Bigsby shouldn't be in Week 3 fantasy lineups.
Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby (shoulder) got in a limited practice on Thursday. HC Doug Pederson said earlier this week that Bigsby's shoulder injury wasn't serious, and this limited practice puts him on track to play vs. the Bills on Monday night.
Jaguars HC Doug Pederson said Monday that RB Tank Bigsby is ok after being knocked out of the Week 2 loss to the Browns with a shoulder injury. It's unclear if that means he'll be available for next Monday night's game vs. the Bills. We'll track his status throughout the week.

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne took 12 carries for only 44 yards and 1 TD in Week 1. He added 2 catches for 15 yards for an OK fantasy day. Most troubling, though, was the involvement of second-year RB Tank Bigsby. Coming off a strong training camp, Bigbsy matched Etienne in carries and topped him in yards by 29.
Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby had a buzzy summer last year and opened the season as Jacksonville's clear No. 2 RB. But he wound up having an awful rookie season, averaging 2.6 yards per carry, fumbling twice, and dropping three of his four targets. Bigsby is again having a strong summer and drawing praise from coaches and beat writers. So will he actually be a factor this year?
Jaguars insider John Shipley was not impressed by RB Tank Bigsby this offseason. "Bigsby had some issues with drops during the summer and didn't have the standout offseason program that he had last year," Shipley wrote.
Jaguars HC Doug Pederson said this week that he'd like to limit the 2024 workload for RB Travis Etienne vs. what the starting back got in 2023. Pederson pointed to a D'Ernest Johnson injury and rookie Tank Bigsby's learning curve as two key factors in Etienne's touch total, which ranked third-highest behind Christian McCaffrey and Rachaad White. "It's not the recipe, necessarily, to put Travis in that situation," Pederson said. "So I would consider knocking a few of those reps down to keep him healthy throughout the course of the year." That makes sense. Etienne struggled with efficiency at times in 2023. You'll still find him inside the top 10 in our 2024 RB rankings, though. Johnson is headed for free agency in March. Bigsby obviously remains under contract heading into his second season, and it doesn't sound like the Jags have given up on him yet. "We really like Tank, and he'll have a bigger impact for us this year," Pederson said. We're certainly not betting on strong production from the former third-round pick after he managed just 51 touches and 2.7 yards per touch as a rookie. But consider Pederson's words enough to make Bigsby worth keeping on dynasty benches and considering in the mix of last-round best ball picks.
Jaguars RB Travis Etienne suffered a chest injury in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Texans and is questionable to return. We'll update his status when we know more. Etienne's absence leaves Jacksonville's backfield to D'Ernest Johnson and Tank Bigbsy.

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne posted a hefty 184 total yards and 2 rushing TDs in Week 5 vs. the Bills. His 136 rushing yards mark the second-highest single-game total in his career, and at this point, he’s buried his teammate Tank Bigsby into obscurity. The rookie only received 3 carries in the contest. HC Doug Pederson’s history of utilizing a committee backfield approach hasn’t proven to matter much in 2023. This is the Etienne Show until further notice. He’ll be an exciting play in Week 6 vs. the Colts.
