Who Should I Start? Ronald Jones or Tank Bigsby

Monday, September 18, 7:43 PM

The Dallas Cowboys released running back Ronald Jones on Monday, the team announced. Jones was eligible to return to the active 53-man roster on Monday after serving a two-game suspension for violating the league's performance-enhancing drug policy, but the Cowboys have opted to go in another direction. The 26-year-old will now be hoping to latch on with another organization to provide some backfield depth. Tony Pollard is the team's clear-cut starter, with Rico Dowdle and rookies Deuce Vaughn and Hunter Luepke backing him up in the running back room. Jones shouldn't be rostered in single-year fantasy leagues right now.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby could carry some fantasy relevance as the team heads into its bye week. Bigsby impressed in the 38-20 win over the New York Giants, rushing for 104 yards on just nine carries. The fourth year back spent the first three seasons of his career in Jacksonville, but was traded after Week 1 to Philadelphia to be the backup. Saquon Barkley suffered a groin injury late in the game, potentially opening the door for Bigsby to see an expanded role if Barkley misses time. Barkley downplayed the injury to reporters, and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport noted it's not believed to be serious. For now, Bigsby remains a valuable handcuff, though the Week 9 bye gives Barkley additional time to recover and return by Week 10.
