Tank Bigsby News

Tank Bigsby Officially Placed on Injured Reserve

Tuesday, October 6, 7:08 PM

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby (core) has officially been placed on injured reserve. This move was widely expected, according to a report from NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, but the Eagles made it official on Tuesday. Bigsby picked up a core muscle injury during the final minutes of Sunday's Week 4 loss against the Los Angeles Rams. He suffered the injury while handling a larger workload (48% snap share, 14 carries, and 55 rushing yards) in the aftermath of an injury to teammate Saquon Barkley (hamstring). Landing on IR will require Bigsby to miss a minimum of four games, but Rapoport reported that the 24-year-old will undergo surgery and has a timeline closer to six weeks. With Bigsby and Barkley both sidelined, the injury-plagued Eagles will now turn to Will Shipley to lead their backfield against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 5.

Ollie Gordon II News

Ollie Gordon II a Riskier Starting Option with Backup QB Beside Him

Thursday, November 12, 5:28 AM

Miami running back Ollie Gordon II has performed pretty well since taking over as the team's lead back after the De'Von Achane (ACL) injury, but now with Malik Willis (groin) out, Gordon's fantasy value and appeal are down. Gordon has 16 or more carries in five of the past six games he's played, and he's factored in a bit as a pass catcher as well. He has 107 rushes for 463 yards and four touchdowns over eight games, plus has caught seven of his 10 targets for 23 more yards. Miami is expected to start Kyle McCord, which is a downgrade from Willis. If McCord cannot keep the defense honest, the box will be stacked, which will make running tougher for Gordon. He still could deliver solid fantasy scores on volume touches, but Gordon is definitely a riskier starting option now, and he could be one to skip depending on matchups and your other options.
