Who Should I Start? Jerry Jeudy or Tank Bigsby

Friday, October 24, 8:37 PM

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (knee) has practiced on a limited basis on Thursday and Friday after missing practice on Wednesday. He is officially listed as questionable with a knee injury heading into a Week 8 road matchup against the New England Patriots. If he ultimately ends up playing, Jeudy will look to break a season-long cold streak as he has yet to go over 51 receiving yards since Week 1. The Patriots have struggled against receivers this season, allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game to the position. If Jeudy ends up playing, he would settle in as a low-end WR4 in fantasy leagues. If he sits, look for Isaiah Bond, Jamari Thrash, and maybe even Malachi Corley to see extra opportunities for the Cleveland passing offense.

Since being acquired by the Philadelphia Eagles in early September, running back Tank Bigsby has seen minimal usage. Heading into Week 8, Bigsby had seen just two total touches. However, that changed in Week 8 after Eagles RB1 Saquon Barkley (groin) was forced to exit the game early due to a groin injury. Bigsby recorded nine carries for 104 yards against the New York Giants with Barkley sidelined for a significant portion of the second half of the game. The Eagles have their bye week in Week 9, and Barkley reportedly appears confident that he'll be healthy enough to play in Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers. The bye week limits Bigsby's fantasy appeal, but he's still a name to monitor as long as there's any question about Barkley's health status. For deep-league managers with an available roster spot, stashing Bigsby through the bye week could pay dividends if Barkley's injury ends up being worse than it initially seems.
