Who Should I Start? Travis Etienne Jr. or Tank Bigsby

Sunday, November 23, 8:53 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. rushed for 86 yards on 15 carries during Sunday's Week 12 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. He also caught three of his four targets for 30 receiving yards and a touchdown. After a bit of a lull earlier in the season, Etienne has bounced back as a highly effective RB1 in fantasy football ever since his bye week. In four games since the bye, he has 301 rushing yards, 80 receiving yards, and four touchdowns while ranking as the overall RB6 in PPR leagues during that span. Unlike last week, Etienne was able to fend off a strong game from backfield-mate Bhayshul Tuten this Sunday. It appears as though Etienne still has a firm grasp on the lead-back role in Jacksonville, keeping him in the top-10 range for next week's matchup against a struggling Tennessee Titans run defense.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby was the only backup RB to record any stats for his team last week, getting four carries for 34 yards versus Detroit. At this point, it's a complete toss-up on who plays second fiddle to Saquon Barkley in the Philly backfield. Bigsby has shown promise with the time on the field he's gotten, but next week it could be Will Shipley's number getting called. It doesn't seem like a good idea to have any Eagles back rostered in fantasy outside of Barkley, and if he does go down, it might just be a mad scramble to the waiver wire until it becomes clear who the true replacement would be.
