News: 5 days agoBigsby recorded a three-yard carry and returned two kickoffs for 50 yards during the Eagles' 24-22 win over the Commanders on Sunday.

Spin: Bigsby entered the regular season as the RB2 on the Eagles' depth chart, though he played only six offensive snaps Sunday, third most among Philadelphia running backs behind Saquon Barkley (39) and Will Shipley (10). Bigsby also played 11 snaps on special teams, and he figures to see most of his playing time as a returner, though that would quickly change if Barkley were to miss time.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Bigsby was acquired by the Eagles early in the 2025 season and progressively worked his way up to primary backup duties, a role he's expected to play again in 2026. Granted, it's a small sample, but Bigsby has been extremely efficient over the last two seasons. Among 48 backs with 200-plus carries during the span, Bigsby ranks first in yards after contact per attempt (2.75) and eighth in yards per carry (4.86). In fact, Bigsby has led qualified RBs in YAC each of the last two seasons. On the other hand, he hasn't been used much as a receiver (20 career targets). With overworked Saquon Barkley entering his age-29 season, Bigsby certainly has some insurance appeal, even if he defers passing-down work to Will Shipley. Bigsby, 25, is worth consideration in the later rounds.
