News: 5 days agoBigsby didn't record a touch while playing just one of Philadelphia's 53 offensive snaps in Friday's 24-15 loss to the Bears.

Spin: Bigsby had received at least one carry in each of the Eagles' last five games prior to Friday's loss. The negative game script likely factored into his lack of playing time, as Philadelphia turned to a pass-catching back in Will Shipley when spelling Saquon Barkley while trailing for nearly the entire game. Despite limited usage, Bisgby has been incredibly efficient in his 11 games with the Eagles, averaging 9.1 yards per carry on just 18 rush attempts. However, he'll likely remain a minimal portion of the team's offensive game plan in the Week 14 matchup against the Chargers.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Bigsby was promoted to a larger role in 2024 -- his second NFL season -- and he took advantage. The 2023 third-round pick led the NFL in YAC (2.69) and progressively chipped away at Travis Etienne Jr.'s workload as the season progressed. Once he returned from injury in Week 13, Bigsby out-carried Etienne (73-68), but he trailed in snaps (205-149), routes (98-57) and targets (22-7). Bigsby scored three TDs to Etienne's zero, but averaged only 7.8 fantasy PPG due to major receiving limitations (18 yards on seven targets during the span). This committee now includes rookie Bhayshul Tuten and is setting up to be a fantasy nightmare, though perhaps new coach Liam Coen can make some magic happen, as he did with Bucky Irving and Rachaad White in Tampa Bay last season. Bigsby is a bench option with more value in non-PPR.
