Who Should I Start? Aaron Jones Sr. or Tank Bigsby

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. found the end zone for the Vikings in their comeback win on Monday Night Football over the Bears. He finished with three catches for 44 yards and a touchdown and added 23 rushing yards on his eight carries. While the touchdown and receiving production kept his Week 1 production solid, he ended up with fewer snaps and carries than Jordan Mason. Mason played 30 snaps and took his 15 carries for a team-high 68 rushing yards, while Jones played 28 snaps and ran more routes than Mason. It looks like a fairly even timeshare overall, making both backs usable but also touchdown-dependent moving forward. Jones and Mason's next matchup will be another primetime contest against the Falcons on Sunday Night Football in Week 2.

The Philadelphia Eagles are acquiring running back Tank Bigsby from the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday in exchange for fifth- and sixth-round draft picks in 2026, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. There were rumblings this offseason that the Jaguars were considering trading one of Bigsby or Travis Etienne Jr. after they drafted Bhayshul Tuten in April, and now it's come to fruition. The Eagles will get more insurance for Saquon Barkley after Will Shipley went down with a rib injury in the season-opening win over the Cowboys last Thursday, although the trade for Bigsby reportedly isn't related. The Eagles are expected to explore using Bigsby as a kickoff returner, which won't do anything for his fantasy value with the move to Philly. Tuten, meanwhile, becomes much more interesting as a bench stash. He's currently only rostered in 57% of Yahoo leagues.
