Who Should I Start? Tank Bigsby or Ray Davis

Saturday, September 13, 12:49 AM

The Philadelphia Eagles just traded for Tank Bigsby on Monday, and the former Jaguar is currently listed as the third running back on the depth chart. He was far outpaced by Travis Etienne Jr. in Jacksonville's first game, and was splitting touches with Bhayshul Tuten as well. Bigsby only managed 12 yards on five carries against the Panthers in Week 1, which clearly didn't impress the Jaguars front office enough to keep him on the roster. Eagles backup RB Will Shipley (rib) is officially out for the upcoming contest against Kansas City, clearing the runway a bit for Bigsby, but probably not enough for any real fantasy production. Shipley and AJ Dillon combined for 13 snaps on offense against Dallas last week, while Saquon Barkley totaled 50. With a star like Barkley ahead of him, Bigsby should not be considered for lineups in Week 2.

Through his team's first six games this season, Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis has seen minimal usage. Davis has recorded just 48 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 16 total touches. After averaging 7.6 touches per game as a rookie in 2024, Davis is averaging 2.7 touches per game so far in 2025. Bills RB1 James Cook is currently dominating the early-down work in Buffalo, with veteran back Ty Johnson playing a role on passing downs. That leaves Davis on the outside looking in, barring an injury. Davis maintains some fantasy value as the handcuff option to Cook. Still, his standalone appeal is nonexistent if his usage remains the same when Buffalo returns to the field after its Week 7 bye.
