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.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (shoulder) was removed from the final Week 6 injury report on Wednesday and will be active to face the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday Night Football, according to Dan Salomone of Giants.com. Tracy will be returning from a two-game absence due to a dislocated right shoulder that he suffered in the Week 3 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. It's good news for the Giants' offense, but Tracy's fantasy managers may want to temper expectations in his first game back. Rookie Cam Skattebo handled lead-back duties in Tracy's absence and is expected to be the preferred backfield option moving forward over Tracy. In the first three games of the year, Tracy averaged just 3.1 yards per carry for 68 yards on 22 rushing attempts. We'd recommend fading Tracy in fantasy in his first game back, especially in a poor matchup.
