Who Should I Start? Tank Bigsby or Ray Davis

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby (illness) does not carry an injury designation heading into Saturday's contest against the Commanders. Bigsby recorded his most rushing attempts in a game so far this season against the Raiders last week, racking up 17 carries for 57 yards. He had some heavy fourth quarter involvement with a 31-point lead and the game secured. Bigsby was also just one yard short of his first touchdown of the year. Unfortunately for him, this trend will likely continue, and he will only get this much time on the field when Saquon Barkley is either not healthy or not needed. It's clear at this point that Bigsby is the top understudy in the backfield, but he should not be starting in fantasy with him still being stuck down in the depth chart.

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis wasn't involved much on offense in the team's come-from-behind victory over the New England Patriots on Sunday, but he still made his presence felt on special teams, returning four kickoffs for a total of 164 yards. The 26-year-old former fourth-round selection caught his lone target in the passing game for a gain of 13 yards. He did not have a rushing attempt. Davis took over the team's primary kick-return duties in Week 9, and since then, he hasn't had much of a role on offense behind Cook and Ty Johnson. Still, he's worth stashing for insurance at the RB position in deeper leagues, as he'd likely be sharing backfield touches with Johnson if anything were to happen to Cook in the final three weeks of 2025. Davis leads the NFL with 32.4 yards per kick return. On offense, he hasn't had a carry since seeing a season-high nine rushing attempts in Week 13 versus the Steelers.
