Tank Bigsby Well-Positioned to Handle Primary Backup Duties in Philadelphia

Monday, June 29, 6:01 AM

The Philadelphia Eagles traded for running back Tank Bigsby after Week 1 of the 2025 season, and while much of his contribution from that point forward came in the return game, a full offseason with the team could have the fourth-year back in line for primary backup responsibilities behind Saquon Barkley in one of fantasy's most valuable handcuff roles. The rest of the Eagles' running backs room features a diverse set of skills from Will Shipley, Dameon Pierce, and Elijah Mitchell, but at 6'0" and 213 pounds, Bigsby is perhaps best equipped to handle the closest to a full workload should the 29-year-old Barkley miss extended time. That size could also help to keep Barkley fresh throughout the year by potentially taking a handful of between-the-tackles runs off his plate each game, a consideration that should be made with the three-time Pro Bowler having handled more than 800 touches over the past two seasons. Should new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion opt to sprinkle in more touches for Bigsby, the former Jaguar could find a sliver of standalone value, but even as strictly injury insurance, Bigsby is a high-value dynasty stash and worthwhile trade target behind an aging bell cow with a history of durability concerns, in one of the league's run-heaviest offenses.

Is Keaton Mitchell Primed for a Modest Breakout with the Chargers?

Tuesday, June 30, 6:00 AM

Los Angeles Chargers running back Keaton Mitchell has averaged more than six yards per rushing attempt through his first three seasons in the league, but injuries and a sub-200-pound frame have limited him to fewer than 60 carries every year. Landing in a Chargers offense, where new coordinator Mike McDaniel values speed above perhaps any other trait, Mitchell has a chance to see the largest workload of his career. Having run a 4.37-second 40-yard dash at the 2023 NFL Combine, Mitchell is a player who only gets faster when the pads come on. Per Next Gen Stats, his 14.49 MPH average run speed per carry in 2025 led all players with at least 50 attempts and was more than a full mile per hour faster than the next player on the list, Miami's De'Von Achane. While it's unreasonable to expect a similar level of impact from Mitchell, Achane was one of the league's most explosive players in McDaniel's offense, and if the 24-year-old former undrafted free agent can see even a modest uptick in usage in that same system, he could see weekly fantasy viability as a flex-worthy starter. All indications are that Los Angeles' backfield will run through 2025 first-rounder Omarion Hampton, but Mitchell has both the ability and the environment to develop into one of the most efficient change-of-pace backs in the league, and at RotoBaller's dynasty RB80, he's a low-cost trade target who could see his value rise considerably in the coming years.
