Scores in season finale
Bigsby carried the ball 14 times for 39 yards and a touchdown and caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Colts.
Analysis: The second-year RB split the workload in the Jaguars' backfield with Travis Etienne, and while Etienne was more productive in terms of overall yardage (60 yards on 16 touches), Bigsby's one-yard TD plunge in the first quarter was the only score either of them managed. Bigsby wrapped up the 2024 campaign with 766 rushing yards on 168 carries, good for a 4.6 YPC that was far superior to Etienne's 3.7 mark, but the latter offers more as a pass catcher. The duo seems likely to remain in a timeshare…read more

Held to 33 yards
Bigsby rushed the ball 11 times for 33 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Titans.
Analysis: Bigsby was out-touched 16-11 by Travis Etienne, though his 11 rushing attempts fell in line with his workload for the majority of the season. Even against a beat-up Tennessee linebacker corps, Bigsby struggled to find rushing room, with his longest gain going for just seven yards. Given the relatively poor state of the Jaguars' offense and the split backfield, it's difficult to trust Bigsby to produce in Week 18 against the Colts.

Splits backfield evenly
Bigsby rushed the ball 12 times for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-14 loss to the Raiders. He added one reception on on one target for one yard.
Analysis: The Jaguars were in a tightly contested battle with the Raiders throughout the day, allowing them to stick with the ground game a bit more than is typically the case. That benefitted Bigsby, who ended the contest with two more touches than Etienne. He also had a fairly efficient showing that was highlighted by a long gain of 10 yards and a one-yard touchdown plunge late in the first quarter. A Week 17 matchup against the Titans should also be close, so Bigsby could see be in line for decent…read more

Out-touched 18-11 by Etienne
Bigsby rushed 11 times for 42 yards and didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 32-25 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: After out-touching Travis Etienne, 19-8, in Week 14 against the Titans, Bigsby returned to a complementary role against the Jets, finishing with 11 touches to Etienne's 18. They'll likely continue to work as a tandem in Week 16, when the Jaguars could have a more run-heavy game script than usual in a battle between bottom-feeders against the Raiders. Bigsby has just five catches all season, so he relies almost exclusively on rushing contributions while the versatile Etienne can play in all…read more

Retakes lead in backfield
Bigsby rushed the ball 18 times for 55 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 10-6 win over the Titans. He added one reception on two targets for seven yards.
Analysis: Bigsby returned from a one-game absence in Week 13 and was in a committee backfield with Travis Etienne. His usage changed significantly Sunday, as he out-touched Etienne 19-8, including 18-4 in rushing attempts. Bigsby wasn't particularly effective with the opportunity by averaging just 3.1 yards per rush with a long of 12 yards. However, he did punch in an eight-yard touchdown to tally the go-ahead score for the Jaguars, and his usage in the victory makes him a more appealing fantasy option…read more

Totals eight touches
Bigsby carried seven times for 28 yards and caught his lone target for seven yards during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Texans.
Analysis: The 23-year-old returned from a one-game absence due to an ankle issue and played 46 percent of the offensive snaps. Bigsby appeared on track to take over the starting job earlier this season after a five-game stretch in which he tallied 447 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns, but Travis Etienne now has a bit more upside because he sees more passing-down work in this backfield committee.

Practices fully Wednesday
Bigsby (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Bigsby missed the Jaguars' Week 11 loss to the Lions, but the team's Week 12 bye week provided enough time off for the running back to get healthy. With both Bigsby and Travis Etienne available for this coming Sunday's game against the Texans and D'Ernest Johnson occasionally factoring in as third option out of the backfield, Bigsby doesn't shape up as a reliable fantasy option in Week 13.

Not playing in Week 11
Bigsby (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Detroit.
Analysis: Bigsby injured his ankle during this past Sunday's loss to the Vikings. After Bigsby sat out practice Wednesday and Thursday, coach Doug Pederson told Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union that the running back was slated to get back on the field Friday, but that didn't come to pass. As a result, Bigsby won't be available Week 11, leaving the Jaguars backfield to Travis Etienne and D'Ernest Johnson (hamstring).

Will practice, optimism for Week 11
Coach Doug Pederson said Bigsby (ankle) will practice Friday, and he's optimistic the running back will play Sunday against the Lions, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Analysis: "Optimistic," Pederson said Friday morning. "But today will be a big day for him." After missing practice Wednesday and Thursday, a Friday return gives Bigsby a chance to play Sunday in Detroit. If he's cleared to play, the Jaguars likely will continue to use a three-man backfield, consisting of Bigsby, Travis Etienne and D'Ernest Johnson, leaving none as upside fantasy plays against a tough Lions run defense.

Misses another practice
Bigsby (ankle) didn't practice Thursday.
Analysis: After having missed consecutive practices to begin Week 11 prep, Bigsby's status for Sunday's game against the Lions is cloudy. His outlook could change if he's able to practice in any capacity Friday, but if Bigsby is held out this weekend with an eye toward giving him added healing time during the Jaguars' upcoming Week 12 bye, Travis Etienne would be in line to see added backfield snaps and touches versus Detroit.

Held out of practice
Bigsby (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Listed with an ankle injury on the Jaguars' official reports for much of the season, Bigsby limped off the field during the first quarter of Sunday's 12-7 loss to the Vikings. He re-entered the contest but then played just two snaps in the second half, leaving Travis Etienne as the clear leader of Jacksonville's backfield. Etienne and D'Ernest Johnson will handle the snaps out of the backfield in Week 11 if Bigsby isn't ready for the matchup with the Detroit on Sunday.

Hurts ankle Sunday
Bigsby exited Sunday's game against the Vikings due to an ankle injury, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.
Analysis: Bigsby was shaken up after a three-yard run midway through the first quarter, requiring assistance from trainers to get to the sideline and into the medical tent. If he's unable to return, he'll be contained to a single touch in Week 10. Travis Etienne should lead the Jaguars backfield in the meantime, with D'Ernest Johnson also on hand for RB reps.

Set for Week 10
Bigsby (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest against the Vikings.
Analysis: Both Bigsby and Travis Etienne (hamstring) were limited in practice all week, but both running backs will be available to the Jaguars offense this weekend. During this past Sunday's defeat at Philadelphia, Bigsby earned 52 percent of the snaps en route to eight carries for 22 yards, while Etienne handled a 31 percent snap share and turned five touches into 30 yards from scrimmage. The breakdown between the pair should be somewhat similar Week 10.

Still limited at practice
Bigsby (ankle) remained limited in practice Thursday.
Analysis: The same goes for Travis Etienne (hamstring), with D'Ernest Johnson (hamstring) now on the Jaguars' Week 10 injury report after logging a limited practice Thursday. Friday's final report will reveal the game statuses of the three running backs ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings, but it'd be surprising if either Bigsby or Etienne were sidelined after playing through their respective injuries last weekend.

Meanwhile, Travis Etienne (hamstring) took 72 percent of snaps in the first half but then just nine percent in the second half, barely playing after a dropped pass late in the second quarter resulted in an interception.

Struggles on eight carries Sunday
Bigsby (ankle) rushed eight times for 22 yards and was not targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 28-23 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Bigsby suffered from the return of Travis Etienne (hamstring) on Sunday, as neither back provided fantasy value in a tandem role. The 23-year-old Bigsby was a huge fantasy play in recent weeks with 196 rushing yards and two trips to the end zone in his previous two contests, but he struggled mightily in a split role against Philadelphia. Consider both Jaguars running backs flex plays at best heading into Week 10, with Bigsby being the better bet for a touchdown against the Vikings next Sunday.

Officially active in Week 9
Bigsby (ankle) is active for Sunday's Week 9 matchup against the Eagles.
Analysis: The emerging second-year back was expected to suit up after turning in a trio of limited practices throughout the week, and Bigsby's availability now is confirmed. However, unlike the previous two weeks when Bigsby was able to operate as the clear lead back and rush for 196 yards and two touchdowns in the absence of Travis Etienne (hamstring), the latter also is active Sunday and therefore will eat into the former's touches.

Gains 86 yards on 20 touches
Bigsby rushed 18 times for 78 yards while catching two of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to Green Bay.
Analysis: Bigsby served as the Jaguars' top back after Travis Etienne (hamstring) was deemed inactive prior to Sunday's kickoff. The 23-year-old Bigsby churned out a decent fantasy performance off of 20 touches, which bodes well for his already rising value heading into Week 9. Bigsby should remain a significant part of Jacksonville's offense heading into next Sunday's tilt against Philadelphia, irrespective of Etienne's status for that contest.

Set to start vs. Green Bay
Bigsby is poised to start Sunday against the Packers with Travis Etienne (hamstring) inactive for a second straight game.
Analysis: It will be the second straight start for Bigsby after serving as the No. 2 tailback in Jacksonville's first six games of 2024. The 23-year-old excelled in that role prior to Etienne's injury and has 53 carries for 333 yards and four touchdowns across the past four games. He'll likely cede some snaps to D'Ernest Johnson in passing situations, so the game script could dictate how big a workload Bigsby receives given he has just two targets all season.

Appears headed for another start
Bigsby is expected to serve as the Jaguars' lead option out of the backfield Sunday against the Packers with Travis Etienne (hamstring) listed as questionable for the contest but considered a longshot to play, sources tell Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Analysis: While serving as a backup to Etienne in the Jaguars' first six games, Bigsby shined in a supporting role, as the second-year back averaged 7.2 yards over his 41 carries during that stretch. He continued to excel while seeing his biggest workload to date in the Jaguars' Week 7 win over the Patriots in London, carrying 26 times for 118 yards and two touchdowns.

The second-year back did not disappoint with the expanded opportunity, rounding out his second career 100-yard effort, both of which have come in the last three games, with touchdown runs of one and four yards in the second and fourth quarters, respectively.

Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said that Bigsby is in line to take on a greater role out of the backfield for Sunday's game against the Patriots in London due to Travis Etienne (hamstring) set to be inactive for the contest, Steve Wyche of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Though Pederson noted that Etienne had a good week of practice before being listed as questionable heading into Sunday, the 2021 first-round draft pick ultimately couldn't shake off the hamstring injury he sustained in the Jaguars' Week 6 loss to the Bears.

Modest numbers in London loss
Bigsby rushed seven times for 24 yards in the Jaguars' 35-16 loss to the Bears on Sunday in London. He also returned three kickoffs for 102 yards and committed a fumble recovered by Jacksonville.
Analysis: Bigsby had an opportunity for an expanded role when Travis Etienne exited the game in the third quarter with a hamstring injury, but game script turned completely against the run as the second half unfolded. The second-year back's pedestrian numbers were highly disappointing in the context of his previous two games, when he'd appeared on the verge of usurping his teammate for the lead-back role by recording 191 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries, as well as a 28-yard reception.

Bigsby rushed 13 times for 101 yards and two touchdowns and secured his only target for 28 yards in the Jaguars' 37-34 win over the Colts on Sunday. He also committed a fumble that he recovered in the end zone for a score.
Analysis: Bigsby may have laid claim to the No. 1 back role for the foreseeable future with his second straight highly efficient effort, one that came on the heels of a seven-carry, 90-yard performance in Week 4 against the Texans. Bigsby was even better Sunday, taking his first catch of the season for a chunk gain and crossing the goal line following a 19-yard run during which he jumped on his own loose ball in the end zone and on a dynamic 65-yard scamper in the latter portion of the fourth quarter.…read more

Analysis: Bigsby and Travis Etienne (shoulder) got the same treatment throughout the week, notching a trio of capped sessions apiece before being declared healthy on Friday's injury report.

Bigsby rushed twice for nine yards in Monday's 47-10 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Bigsby was mostly an afterthought in what ended up being a rough day for the Jaguars offense. The second-year running back played just nine of Jacksonville's 71 offensive snaps in the contest, far behind starter Travis Etienne, who played 49 snaps. Though Bigsby is tough to rely on for consistent fantasy production, he remains a solid insurance policy to stash in deeper leagues in the event that Etienne were to miss time at any point.

Bigsby carried 12 times for 73 yards and wasn't targeted during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Dolphins.

Records 56 total yards Saturday
Bigsby rushed 10 times for 37 yards and brought in all three targets for 19 yards in the Jaguars' 20-7 preseason win over the Buccaneers on Saturday night.
Analysis: Bigsby drew the start with Travis Etienne sitting out, and the second-year back quickly gained a combined 10 yards on the Jaguars' second and third plays from scrimmage. Bigsby's heavy level of involvement by preseason standards and what he did with it was encouraging, especially after a ragged rookie year where he averaged just 2.6 yards per carry. Bigsby appears to be running ahead of D'Ernest Johnson for the No. 2 job behind Etienne, and he'll have another opportunity to make his case in the…read more

Improving after rough rookie year
Jaguars running backs coach Jerry Mack said Bigsby's offseason priority has been to "refocus," and that "now things are starting to slow down for him" entering Year 2, Juston Lewis of the Jacksonville Florida Times-Union reports.
Analysis: Coach Doug Pederson said back in May that the team hopes Bigsby will be able to spell starter Travis Etienne more often during the 2024 season, but for that to happen the 2023 third-round pick will need to improve upon a lackluster rookie performance. Last season, Bigsby logged just 50 carries for 132 yards (2.6 YPC) and two touchdowns across 17 games. Mack noted that as a rookie "everything was extremely fast for [Bigsby]," but said that this offseason "he's understanding the ins and outs of…read more

Could spell Etienne more often
Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said last week that he would like Bigsby to get more playing time to "take some of the pounding off of Travis [Etienne]," Demetrius Harvey of the Florida Times-Union reports.
Analysis: Jaguars brass made similar comments last offseason after drafting Bigsby in the third round, but he had just three games all season with more than three carries and none with more than 17 snaps. A pair of lost fumbles on his first 24 touches didn't help, and the Jaguars eventually preferred D'Ernest Johnson as the running back to give Etienne occasional breathers. While Johnson is back with the team in 2024, Bigsby's combination of draft capital, college production (2,903 rushing yards) and…read more

Quiet rookie campaign
Bigsby rushed three times for 16 yards and returned four kickoffs for 99 yards during Jacksonville's Week 18 loss to Tennessee. He finished the season with 50 rushes for 132 yards and two touchdowns plus one catch for six yards.
Analysis: The rookie third-round pick opened and finished the season as the Jags' primary backup tailback, but he worked in the No. 3 role from Week 12 to Week 16. Starter Travis Etienne played in all 17 games and was the clear workhorse in the backfield, leaving minimal opportunities for Jacksonville's other backs. The only other running back on the roster, D'Ernest Johnson, is set to become a free agent, so Bigsby has a strong chance of opening 2024 in the No. 2 role once again.

Totals 32 yards in win
Bigsby carried 10 times for 32 yards and wasn't targeted during Sunday's 26-0 win against the Panthers.
Analysis: The rookie third-round pick entered the contest having played just six offensive snaps over the previous five games, but he tallied a career-high 10 carries as Jacksonville dominated Sunday from start to finish. Bigsby out-snapped D'Ernest Johnson, 17-12, and may have reclaimed the No. 2 job in the Jaguars backfield heading into Week 18.

No touches Week 13
Bigsby played two offensive snaps during Monday's 34-31 loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: It's just the second time this season the rookie third-round pick didn't receive a carry, as D'Ernest Johnson has settled in as Jacksonville's No. 2 tailback the past few weeks. Travis Etienne remains locked in as the starter, leaving Bigsby in a depth role heading into the final month-plus of the campaign.

Falls into tertiary role
Bigsby had one carry for six yards during Sunday's 24-21 win against the Texans.
Analysis: 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.

Does little with nine carries
Bigsby rushed nine times for 21 yards during Sunday's 34-14 win over the Titans.
Analysis: Jacksonville was in control throughout Sunday's contest, which allowed Bigsby to set a season high in carries. The 22-year-old also set a season high in rushing yards, though it wasn't an efficient performance. D'Ernest Johnson had a similar workload with more yardage for the second straight week, and Bigsby could be losing his grip on the No. 2 job in Jacksonville's backfield.

Three touches in blowout
Bigsby carried three times for five yards and failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's 34-3 loss to San Francisco.
Analysis: Starter Travis Etienne had a season-low 11 touches in the blowout, but the lopsided score didn't benefit Bigsby much, as he played just 10 offensive snaps. No. 3 back D'Ernest Johnson had a similar snap count but turned five touches into 40 yards, which eclipsed Bigsby's total yards from scrimmage from the past five games combined.

Three carries Week 8
Bigsby carried three times for nine yards and lost a fumble during Sunday's 20-10 win against the Steelers.
Analysis: The 22-year-old saw six offensive snaps as starter Travis Etienne received 27 touches for 149 yards and a touchdown while playing an 89 percent snap share. Etienne continues to operate as Jacksonville's workhorse back, leaving minimal opportunities for Bigsby in the No. 2 role.

Two carries Thursday
Bigsby rushed twice for two yards during Thursday's 31-24 win against New Orleans.
Analysis: The rookie third-round pick played just eight offensive snaps but was the only Jacksonville running back besides starter Travis Etienne to receive a carry. Bigsby had seven rushes in the season opener but has just 13 over the past six games as Etienne continues to dominate the team's backfield touches.

Four touches Sunday
Bigsby rushed three times for two yards and caught his lone target for six yards during Sunday's 37-20 win against the Colts.
Analysis: Bigsby played 17 of 64 offensive snaps and received his highest number of touches since he had seven carries in the season opener. The rookie third-round pick continues to operate as Jacksonville's No. 2 tailback but doesn't have much fantasy utility with starter Travis Etienne excelling as a workhorse.

Remains in backup role
Bigsby carried three times for eight yards during Sunday's 25-20 win against Buffalo.
Analysis: Starter Travis Etienne once again dominated the backfield work and finished with 30 touches for 184 yards and two touchdowns. Bigsby was encouragingly the only Jacksonville running back besides Etienne to play more than a single offensive snap, but it's clear the rookie will likely stick in a minor offensive role as long as Etienne remains healthy.

Three carries in win
Bigsby rushed three times for 10 yards during Sunday's 23-7 win against the Falcons in London.
Analysis: The rookie third-round pick played just eight offensive snaps while starter Travis Etienne racked up 23 touches on an 85 percent snap share. Bigsby has 12 carries for 33 yards and two touchdowns through the first four games of the season as he remains nothing more than an insurance policy for fantasy managers.

Scores TD in loss
Bigsby rushed twice for 10 yards and a touchdown and failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's 37-17 loss to the Texans.
Analysis: The 22-year-old played just nine offensive snaps in the blowout loss, but he received some run early in the third quarter and punched in a one-yard touchdown after a long pass-interference penalty set up Jacksonville at the goal line. D'Ernest Johnson had a similar workload while starter Travis Etienne dominated the backfield with 23 touches for 138 yards from scrimmage. Bigsby has just nine carries for 23 yards through three games, though he's received some goal-line work with a pair of scores.

No touches Week 2
Bigsby played 12 offensive snaps during Sunday's 17-9 loss to Kansas City.
Analysis: The rookie third-round pick had seven carries for 13 yards and a touchdown in his NFL debut last week, but he was much less involved in the offense Sunday. Bigsby saw a similar snap count, but Jacksonville running backs recorded just 13 carries compared to 26 in the season opener. The 22-year-old still appears to be No. 2 on the depth chart, but he's unlikely to have much fantasy value week-to-week while Travis Etienne, who battled cramps versus the Chiefs, remains healthy.

Scores first NFL touchdown
Bigsby carried the ball seven times for 13 yards and a touchdown and failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Colts.
Analysis: It was a rollercoaster NFL debut for the 2023 third-round pick. Bigsby was the intended target on Trevor Lawrence's lone INT of the day, and he also wound up with the ball after a Lawrence fumble that the rookie assumed was an incomplete pass, only to have it knocked out of his hands and returned for an Indianapolis touchdown. Bigsby redeemed himself in the fourth quarter however, pushing the pile to the goal line on a carry from the Colts' five-yard line before finding paydirt on the next…read more

Key fumble in preseason finale
Bigsby rushed six times for 37 yards and lost a fumble in the Jaguars' 31-18 preseason win over the Dolphins on Saturday night.
Analysis: Bigsby took the third carry of the game for the Jaguars after Travis Etienne unsurprisingly logged the first two, and the former was impressive on a per-touch basis. However, the rookie made a critical mistake when he was stripped of the ball at the shadow of the goal line to short-circuit the Jaguars' first drive. Bigsby saw just one more carry after the miscue, but he did parlay that into a 14-yard gain. Despite the costly turnover, Bigsby averaged 5.7 yards per carry over three preseason…read more

Paces backfield again
Bigsby carried the ball 13 times for 70 yards in Saturday's 25-7 win over Detroit in preseason action. He also recorded one reception for -2 yards.
Analysis: Bigsby was the first back on the field for Jacksonville, though Travis Etienne didn't participate. He was effective with the opportunity, ripping off big gains of 17, 13 and 11 yards. Coach Doug Pederson has praised Bigsby throughout training camp, and the rookie back continues to take advantage of every opportunity.

Leads team in rushing
Bigsby rushed nine times for 52 yards in Saturday's 28-23 preseason win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Bigsby was already having a strong camp prior to Saturday's impressive rushing performance, drawing praise from coaches for his work in the film room. The rookie out of Auburn was the second back to enter the game behind Travis Etienne (five carries for 22 yards), so he hasn't jumped higher than potentially second on the depth chart as of now. With a 6-foot, 210-pound frame, Bigsby adds some size to Jacksonville's backfield, potentially warranting goal-line looks. The rookie's next chance to…read more

Pushing for touches
Coach Doug Pederson said Saturday that Bigsby has been "a sponge" when it comes to learning the offense, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
Analysis: The rookie third-round pick made a strong impression in rookie camp and has performed similarly in training camp. Travis Etienne was Jacksonville's workhorse tailback last season after James Robinson was shipped to the Jets and is expected to have a similar role in 2023, but Bigsby could see consistent touches week-to-week if he continues to build on the early foundation he's laid.

Expected to push for touches
Bigsby is expected to have "plenty of opportunity" to win the Jaguars' No. 2 running back job behind Travis Etienne, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Analysis: Harvey believes Bigsby could even out-touch Etienne some weeks, "depending on who has the hot hand." The Jaguars rode Etienne pretty hard after the James Robinson trade last season, as Etienne averaged over 15 carries per game from Week 7 onward and saw 17-plus carries five times over the final 10 games. Jacksonville wants to lighten Etienne's workload, and Bigsby gives the team a capable between-the-tackles runner at 6-foot, 210 pounds. Bigsby should be a popular late-round fantasy pick given…read more
