News: 20 hours agoBigsby had one carry for six yards during Sunday's 24-21 win against the Texans.

Spin: The rookie third-round pick played a season-low two offensive snaps and now appears to be clearly behind D'Ernest Johnson on the backfield depth chart. Bigsby has 36 carries for 86 yards and two touchdowns through his first 11 NFL games, but he's unlikely to see many opportunities down the stretch if Johnson and starter Travis Etienne stay healthy.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Bigsby was selected in the third round of April's draft. The Auburn product has decent size and power, which came in handy while dealing with weak run blocking at Auburn (his career 1.84 yards before contact rate is second lowest in this year's rookie class, though he made up for it with solid YAC and forced missed tackle rates). Bigsby ran for at least 834 yards in all three collegiate seasons and although pass-catching and blocking are a concern, his receiving work progressively increased (including a 16% target share in 2022 , second highest in this class). Bigsby will compete with JaMycal Hasty for No. 2 duties behind Travis Etienne. He shouldn't be drafted, but has some insurance value should Etienne miss time.
