Who Should I Start? Tank Bigsby or Cam Skattebo

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby played only one snap on offense in the Black Friday loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 13. In Monday night's overtime loss to the Los Angeles Chargers to close out Week 14, Bigsby was on the field for seven plays and had one carry for a gain of four yards. He was not targeted in the passing game. Since the team's Week 9 bye, Bigsby hasn't been on the field for more than eight offensive plays in a struggling Eagles offense. The 24-year-old hasn't had more than one carry in the last three games. His nine-carry, 104-yard game in the 38-20 win over the New York Giants back on Oct. 26 seems like ages ago. Will Shipley has been used in obvious passing downs behind starter Saquon Barkley, too, which has left a very minimal role for Bigsby. At best, he's a deep-league handcuff for those who have Barkley rostered.

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) underwent season-ending surgery last week, but he is not expected to face a very complicated rehab process, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Although the rookie suffered a dislocated ankle, fractured fibula, and ruptured deltoid ligament in Week 8, he quickly underwent successful surgery and is on track to return to football action within six months. "Even at the very latest benchmark, he should be ready to roll for OTAs and minicamp," Rapoport wrote in an X post about Skattebo. As the Giants approach the back half of their season, they'll turn to Devin Singletary and Tyrone Tracy Jr. to lead their backfield. Redraft managers can drop Skattebo, but dynasty managers should hold onto him, as he'll likely be a high-end RB2 next season.
