Tank Bigsby Leaves Early During Week 4 Loss

Sunday, October 4, 6:37 PM

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby (undisclosed) left Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams with only a few minutes left in the fourth quarter, per Ashlyn Sullivan. It's unclear what is going on with Bigsby, but he walked to the locker room under his own power with three minutes left in the game. This is never good to hear, especially with running back Saquon Barkley (hamstring) leaving early during this game. Bigsby carried the ball 14 times for 55 yards in the loss to the Rams. Will Shipley could be looking at an expanded role if Barkley or Bigsby are unable to play in Week 5.

Mike Washington Jr. Unlikely to See Significant Workload in Week 4

Saturday, October 3, 5:57 AM

Across the first three games of his NFL career, Las Vegas Raiders rookie running back Mike Washington Jr. has recorded 15 carries for 102 yards and a touchdown. The 23-year-old has flashed high-end upside, including rushing for a 36-yard touchdown in the Raiders' Week 3 win over the New Orleans Saints. However, his production upside is limited while playing behind star Las Vegas back Ashton Jeanty, who has operated as a true three-down workhorse. In Week 4, the Raiders will take on the Kansas City Chiefs. Kansas City has defended well against the run so far this season, ranking 10th in the NFL in total rushing yards allowed (299). The Chiefs have also been very good at limiting explosive plays on the ground, allowing just one carry of 20 or more yards. Given his limited workload, Washington Jr. needs big plays to be useful for fantasy managers. Washington Jr. remains a high-end handcuff running back option, but he should be left on benches in Week 4.
