Jaguars Beat: RB Tank Bigsby looks like 'entirely new back'

Aug 19, 2024

Tank Bigsby looking like an entirely new back in 2024 continued to build on his second-year ascension in today’s practice with two explosive rushes and probably another 4-5 solid gains throughout the 11-on-11 teams period. He then added the cherry on the top with a receiving touchdown in 7-on-7 redzone.

The story added this at the end of the blurb about Bigsby: "For all the fantasy football players who were worried about Tank siphoning work from Etienne, it’s possible you may just have been a season early." Etienne is still ranked 8th among our running backs heading into drafts, so Etienne should be fine. However, Bigsby should maybe be on your list as a late-round target as a handcuff.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
