Tank Bigsby

From being traded to the Eagles shortly before the start of the season to potentially being Philadelphia's starting running back this week against the Packers, Tank Bigsby has had a wild ride. Saquon Barkley left the Eagles' Week 8 win over the Giants with a groin injury. Although he tried to go back in, the game was out of hand, and the coaches kept him off the field. Since the Eagles were on bye in Week 9, we're still awaiting reports updating his status for Week 10. As a result, his practice participation this week will be telling. Unfortunately, that will be after waivers run in most leagues. Personally, I believe Barkley will play, but Bigsby should be rostered just in case Barkley is out. The matchup against the Packers is tough on paper, although the Packers allowed Rico Dowdle to run for 130 yards and two touchdowns in Week 9. Before that, Green Bay was allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to the running back position and had given up the third-fewest rushing yards. I wouldn't overspend on Bigsby, as Barkley will likely be back in Week 11 even if he does miss Week 10. Either try to get Bigsby for cheap or let someone else blow their FAAB.
