The Philadelphia Eagles just traded for Tank Bigsby on Monday, and the former Jaguar is currently listed as the third running back on the depth chart. He was far outpaced by Travis Etienne Jr. in Jacksonville's first game, and was splitting touches with Bhayshul Tuten as well. Bigsby only managed 12 yards on five carries against the Panthers in Week 1, which clearly didn't impress the Jaguars front office enough to keep him on the roster. Eagles backup RB Will Shipley (rib) is officially out for the upcoming contest against Kansas City, clearing the runway a bit for Bigsby, but probably not enough for any real fantasy production. Shipley and AJ Dillon combined for 13 snaps on offense against Dallas last week, while Saquon Barkley totaled 50. With a star like Barkley ahead of him, Bigsby should not be considered for lineups in Week 2.

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo rushed for 45 yards on 11 rushing attempts and a touchdown while catching two of three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 40-37 overtime loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Skattebo broke off a 24-year run in the fourth quarter, which was the longest run of the day for the Giants. He later punched it in for his first career touchdown. Skattebo outpaced Tyrone Tracy Jr. 11 to five in rushing attempts on Sunday and could have earned more touches with his great performance against Dallas. Skattebo will look to build on Sunday's performance in Week 3 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Giants' rookie RB is only rostered in 58% of leagues and is worth picking up for fantasy teams needing help at running back.
