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

Sunday, December 14, 9:34 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. had a huge game in his team's 48-20 Week 15 win over the New York Jets on Sunday. Although the 26-year-old struggled to just 32 rushing yards on 12 carries, he more than made up for it by hauling in three receptions for 73 yards and three touchdowns on four targets. Etienne Jr. has now recorded 1,203 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns on 242 touches across 14 games this season. He's established himself as the clear RB1 in a Jacksonville offense that is hitting its stride down the stretch of the season. Etienne Jr. remains a must-start fantasy running back heading into his Week 16 matchup against the Denver Broncos.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby (illness) was listed as a limited practice participant on Tuesday due to an illness. With Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (stinger) a non-participant in practice due to a stinger he suffered in Week 15, Bigsby could be in line for more work in Philadelphia's Week 16 matchup against the Washington Commanders. The 24-year-old recorded 17 carries for 57 yards in Week 15 and has rushed for 225 yards on 36 carries across 13 games with Philadelphia this season. While Bigsby's status for the weekend is not yet under threat, he will have one fewer day than usual to recover, as the Eagles and Commanders square off on Saturday. If Barkley and Bigsby were both sidelined, Philadelphia would likely turn to the combination of Will Shipley and A.J. Dillon to handle backfield reps in Week 16.
