Tank Bigsby Could See Larger Role with Barkley Injured

Monday, October 5, 5:45 AM

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby could see an increased workload after Saquon Barkley's injury. Bigsby had 14 carries for 55 yards in the 24-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams and, after suffering an undisclosed injury in the fourth quarter, could not return. Barkley left the game in the first quarter with a hamstring injury and will undergo further testing. If Barkley misses time, Bigsby would be in line to step up as the starter if he's healthy. Bigsby played 29 of 55 snaps and handled goal-line work and most of the early-down work, while Will Shipley factored in on third downs and obvious passing situations. Fantasy managers should monitor both Barkley and Bigsby, as Bigsby would be a solid FLEX play if Barkley misses time.

Raheim Sanders News

Raheim Sanders Pairs Increased Receiving Volume with More Playing Time

Tuesday, September 29, 9:05 PM

Cleveland Browns running back Raheim Sanders remains the clear backup to Quinshon Judkins, but that hasn't stopped him from carving out RB3/flex appeal in very deep leagues. Sanders saw his snap share soar to 43% on Sunday, and along the way, he caught four of five targets for 34 receiving yards. The 24-year-old now has eight catches through three games, seamlessly taking the place of pass-catching running back Dylan Sampson (knee), who was placed on injured reserve. The Browns' offense is still a bit iffy right now, and we're not confident they can support two fantasy-relevant running backs at a time. Instead, most of Sanders' value comes from his status as a handcuff, even if it means he'll require more patience and offer less of an immediate burst of fantasy points.
