News: 7 hours agoBigsby played 10 offensive snaps this preseason before being rested for the final two exhibition contests.

Spin: The fact he was rested for Weeks 2 and 3 of the preseason while Will Shipley played would suggest Bigsby has a firm grip on RB2 duties in Philadelphia behind Saquon Barkley. Barkley is entering his age-29 season with plenty of miles on his proverbial tires, and there's been talk out of Philly that the team wants to get Bigsby more involved to keep Barkley fresh. If something were to happen to him injury-wise, Bigsby would immediately enter the fantasy RB1 conversation in the Eagles' run-heavy offense that features one of the league's best offensive lines, making him the premier bench stash headed into the 2026 campaign.

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.
