Who Should I Start? Tank Bigsby or Jaylen Wright

Tuesday, December 2, 10:00 PM

Across 11 games since being acquired by the Philadelphia Eagles, running back Tank Bisgby has recorded just 18 carries for 164 yards. As long as star Eagles running back Saquon Barkley remains healthy, there appears to be a firm ceiling on Bigsby's playing time and opportunity for touches. The 24-year-old has logged double-digit offensive snaps in just one game this season. However, Bigsby's average of 9.1 rushing yards per attempt is a clear indicator of his significant production upside if Barkley were to suffer an injury. In a larger, 168-carry sample size across 16 games with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2024, Bigsby averaged 4.6 yards per attempt and scored seven rushing touchdowns. Bigsby's never provided much production as a receiver, so fellow Eagles back Will Shipley would likely handle passing-downs work even if Barkley were to go down. Still, Bigsby is a high-end handcuff option who is worth rostering in fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams heading into a Week 14 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright slid back down the team's backfield hierarchy in Week 11's 16-13 win against the Washington Commanders, handling one tote for a gain of four yards. Wright picked up a decent amount of carries (five) in the game prior, with teammate Ollie Gordon II battling an ankle issue. However, he was back to third in the pecking order, with the latter injury-free, and, for the most part, has played a tertiary role in Miami's attack while dealing with injuries of his own in 2025. With Gordon II working as the primary change-of-pace option, and De'Von Achane dominating touches at the position, Wright can be left to waiver-wire fodder in redraft leagues for the time being.
