2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Jaguars keep talking about how they want to limit Travis Etienne's workload, and last year the front office backed it up by using a third-round pick on Bigsby, who then scored two goal-line TDs within the first three weeks but didn't have much luck gaining yards otherwise. A pair of lost fumbles in the first half of the season didn't help the rookie's cause, and he ultimately had just three games all year with more than three carries. Bigsby averaged 2.6 YPC on his 50 carries -- even worse than Etienne's 3.8 average behind a struggling offensive line -- and caught one pass for four yards on six targets. The Jaguars are again openly discussing their desire to limit wear and tear on Etienne, but Bigsby's poor rookie season means he'll likely have to compete for backup roles with D'Ernest Johnson and fifth-round pick Keilan Robinson.

Could spell Etienne more often
RBJacksonville Jaguars
May 29, 2024
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 size (six-foot, 213 pounds) should allow him another shot to win the No. 2 role. Whether the Jaguars actually end up trusting him enough to take a significant chunk out of Etienne's workload is another question.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for bigger role next season
RBJacksonville Jaguars
March 25, 2024
Bigsby is expected to get more touches in 2024 as the Jaguars try to keep Travis Etienne from wearing down, Josh Alper of NBC Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Bigsby was drafted in the third round in 2023 to take some of the workload off Etienne, but he wound up seeing only 50 carries over 17 games and actually fell behind D'Ernest Johnson on the depth chart at times as he struggled to adjust to the NFL and had some early issues with ball security. Jacksonville head coach Doug Pederson indicated earlier this month that the team still viewed Bigsby as a key part of the backfield, however, saying the Auburn product would "have a bigger impact for us this year." Etienne finished third in the NFL with 325 touches last season and saw his yards per carry drop from 5.1 to 3.8, so the Jaguars have plenty of incentive to cut back his volume and find more work for Bigsby.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
A third-round pick in this year's draft, Bigsby is an upright runner with a poor anchor at 6-0, 210, but he perhaps can offset that concern with above-average burst (4.56 40, 1.54 10-yard split) and creativity as a runner. He was a good but not great starter at Auburn the last three years, totaling 2,903 yards and 25 touchdowns on 540 carries (5.4 YPC) in 35 games. Bigsby's unremarkable production indicates average skill as a runner, and his combine testing confirmed he is only an average athlete, so for him to emerge as a fantasy standout likely will require favorable circumstances. On the other hand, Travis Etienne can only take so much work and the incumbent Jacksonville backups aren't special, so Bigsby doesn't need to do much to emerge as the No. 2. Free-agent acquisition D'Ernest Johnson is the main obstacle, and he got less than $1 million guaranteed on a one-year contract.
