Tank Bigsby News
Friday, September 4, 12:09 PM
Across 16 games in 2025, Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby recorded 58 carries for 344 yards and two touchdowns. Entering 2026, Bigsby's path to fantasy-relevant production remains blocked by star Eagles back Saquon Barkley. However, Barkley is now entering his age-29 season and has amassed over 800 touches (including the postseason) over the last two seasons. If Barkley were to suffer an injury, Bigsby would likely see a significant role increase and would immediately leap into top-24 running back territory for fantasy managers. In the lone game that Barkley missed in 2025, Bigsby recorded 106 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 18 touches. For fantasy managers searching for a premium handcuff running back option, Bigsby should be at the top of the priority list.

LeQuint Allen Jr. News
Friday, September 4, 6:27 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars running back LeQuint Allen Jr. (undisclosed) is "most likely" to miss his team's Week 1 contest against the Cleveland Browns, per John Shipley of Sports Illustrated. The 22-year-old has been battling a soft-tissue injury for much of the summer, and it appears that the injury is likely to linger into the start of the regular season. Allen Jr. played a limited role in terms of touches as a rookie in 2025, recording 148 yards from scrimmage on 33 touches across 17 games. However, he specializes as a pass-down back whom Jacksonville relies upon for his pass protection and receiving skills. For as long as Allen Jr. is sidelined, Jaguars running backs Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez could both be in line for a few more snaps and a few more pass-catching opportunities in Jacksonville.
