Who Should I Start? Tank Bigsby or Omarion Hampton

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby began the 2025 season with the Jacksonville Jaguars but was traded to the Eagles after just one game played. In 16 games (one start) with Philly, Bigsby served as the direct backup to star Saquon Barkley, seeing 58 rushing attempts for 344 yards and two touchdowns while adding three catches for 32 yards through the air. In his lone start in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Washington Commanders, the 24-year-old averaged 4.7 yards per carry for 75 rushing yards and a touchdown on 16 carries, adding a 31-yard catch to his tally. The former third-round pick in 2023 by the Jaguars out of Auburn has averaged a healthy 4.5 yards per carry in his three years in the NFL on 281 rushing attempts, and he's also found the end zone 11 times on the ground in 50 games (two starts). Bigsby isn't going to have much value on a week-to-week basis in 2026 outside of being a handcuff for those who roster Barkley, but he'll be a valuable RB stash in dynasty/keeper leagues. If Barkley were to miss time with an injury, Bigsby would immediately become a must-start fantasy RB.
