Tank Bigsby News
Saturday, October 3, 5:12 PM
Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby didn't record any carries and lost a fumble on his lone catch during last week's loss to the Chicago Bears. Despite an ugly performance, Bigsby is expected to remain the primary backup to Saquon Barkley. The 24-year-old is unlikely to have a big role while Barkley is healthy. Bigsby carried the ball 13 times for 33 yards and a touchdown when Barkley went down with an injury in Week 2. He still profiles as a high-end handcuff option, but isn't someone that can be started while Barkley is healthy. Fantasy managers can leave Bigsby on the bench ahead of the Week 4 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.

Ollie Gordon II News
Saturday, October 3, 3:05 AM
Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II will step into an expanded role in Week 4, and he is definitely a deep-league fantasy option even in a tough matchup with the Vikings. Gordon stepped in last week for De'Von Achane (knee), who was lost for the season. He played 84% of snaps and took 17 carries for 41 rushing yards and a touchdown, while catching all three of his targets for 14 receiving yards. His efficiency was not impressive in the struggling offense, but he should be in a large enough role to be a touchdown-dependent play. He's only a fringe option in standard-sized leagues due to a very tough matchup against the Vikings, who have allowed zero RB touchdowns and the fourth-fewest fantasy points to the position. He will also likely share time with Jaylen Wright, who missed Week 3 with a foot injury. In a tough matchup and an uncertain timeshare, Gordon is the RB36 this week in RotoBaller's rankings, but he definitely has the opportunity to win playing time for the rest of the season in Achane's absence, so stash him on your bench in standard-sized leagues and see how the week plays out.
