Who Should I Start? Tank Bigsby or Roschon Johnson

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby took over lead back duties in Week 8 after Saquon Barkley left the game early due to a groin injury. Despite logging zero offensive snaps in his first five weeks on the team, Bigsby has seemingly jumped up to being the primary backfield backup after getting nine carries for 104 yards against the Giants. It's unlikely the former Jaguar will see much action this week against the Packers-or any game that Barkley plays in for that matter-but keep an eye on Bigsby as a top-tier handcuff in a pinch.

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson has been removed from the injury report and is set to make his 2025 debut in Week 2. Johnson returned to practice late last week after being sidelined with a foot injury since early August. The Bears struggled to establish the run in Week 1, with rookie quarterback Caleb Williams leading the team in rushing. D'Andre Swift operated as the clear workhorse, logging 81% of the snaps and handling 22 of Chicago's 23 running back touches. Johnson now enters a brutal matchup against the Detroit Lions, who allowed the second-fewest rushing yards to opposing backs in 2024. With uncertainty surrounding his health, role, and workload, Johnson is best left on fantasy benches for now.
