Who Should I Start? Tank Bigsby or Omarion Hampton

Saturday, January 3, 1:15 PM

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby is expected to be the starter for the regular season finale against the Washington Commanders, with the team resting their starters before the playoffs. Bigbsy has served as the primary backup to Saquon Barkley after being traded to the Eagles from Jacksonville following Week 1. The 24-year-old has been one of the most efficient runners in the league on his small sample of carries, handling 47 attempts for 281 yards and a touchdown. His 5.98 yards per carry is the highest in the league among running backs with at least 45 carries. The former Jacksonville Jaguar has a prime opportunity to produce in Week 18 against a soft Washington Commanders defense that has allowed the fourth most PPR points per game to running backs this season. Bigsby will likely share touches with Will Shipley, but should receive the bulk of the carries. He is ranked as RotoBaller's RB20 for Week 18.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Omarion Hampton (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 18's regular-season finale against the Denver Broncos, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Hampton missed all three days of practice this week and is set to miss the eighth game of his rookie campaign. The 2025 first-round pick spent time on Injured Reserve earlier in the year with a fractured ankle, and it seems that the Chargers are just being cautious with a playoff spot already locked up. Hampton finishes the season with 124 carries for 545 yards and four touchdowns to go with 32 receptions (35 targets) for 192 yards and one touchdown as a receiver. Second-year back Kimani Vidal (neck) was a full participant in practice on Thursday and Friday, so he should be expected to lead the backfield in Week 18 versus the Broncos if he's active. Both Vidal and Hassan Haskins (concussion) are considered questionable to play.
