Who Should I Start? Tank Bigsby or Tyrone Tracy Jr.

Thursday, January 8, 12:33 PM

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby showcased his talents in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Washington Commanders with the team resting starter Saquon Barkley. Bigsby played a season-high 59% of the offensive snaps and had 16 rushing attempts for 75 yards and a touchdown, also adding one catch for a 31-yard gain. Four of the 24-year-old's carries went for at least eight yards to finish with a 4.7 yard-per-carry average. It was a nice showing for the former third-rounder, but he'll go back to being Barkley's backup for Sunday's Wild-Card matchup versus the visiting San Franciscoso 49ers. In his 17 total games with Philly and the Jacksonville Jaguars during the regular season, Bigsby had 63 carries for 356 yards and two touchdowns while adding three catches for 32 yards. With a minor role likely coming against San Fran, Bigsby won't be a realistic starting option for playoff lineups.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. rushed for 103 yards on 18 carries during Sunday's Week 18 win over the Dallas Cowboys. He also caught eight of his nine targets for an additional 56 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown. The lone blemish of Tracy's performance was a third-quarter fumble. The second-year back finished the 2025 season with four touchdowns and over 1,000 scrimmage yards, filling in admirably for rookie Cam Skattebo (ankle). While we expect Skattebo to operate as the Giants' workhorse running back next year, Tracy is a valuable handcuff who has shown that he can be equally productive in the lead-back role.
