Who Should I Start? Raheem Mostert or Tank Bigsby

The Las Vegas Raiders added veteran running back Raheem Mostert on a one-year deal last week in free agency, but ESPN's Ryan McFadden writes that the expectation is for the 32-year-old to be the team's No. 2 back and not the top guy. The Raiders could add another RB in free agency among the likes of Nick Chubb, Jamaal Williams, Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins, but the best path for the team adding to their backfield is to take advantage of a deep RB class in the draft. Vegas could take top RB Ashton Jeanty at No. 6 overall, but if they don't, there will be plenty of value options at the position later in the draft, including Iowa's Kaleb Johnson and Ohio State's TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins. Henderson and Judkins both played for new Raiders offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, who was the Buckeye's offensive coordinator last year.

Jacksonville Jaguars beat writer Demetrius Harvey says that running back Tank Bigsby has been getting a lot of work lately in training camp, and it's becoming more clear that he's someone that is "going to be heavily involved in the offense." RotoBaller has Bigsby currently ranked as the No. 50 RB going into the 2025 season, but he's probably going to rise up draft boards the closer we get to the regular season if he continues to be heavily involved during camp and the preseason. The 23-year-old former third-rounder in 2023 out of Auburn took a big step forward in his second season in 2024 with 168 carries for 766 yards (4.6 yards per carry) and seven touchdowns in 16 games (one start) while catching seven passes for 54 yards. Travis Etienne Jr. is still in the fold, though, and Bigsby has caught just eight passes in his first few seasons. Getting more work in the passing attack is the next step for Bigsby.
