Tank Bigsby 2023 Outlook: Potential Sneaky Best Ball Value In Jags RB2 Role
2 years agoJacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby was selected in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft. His day-two draft capital suggests he could have a real role as a rookie behind Travis Etienne. Since the Jaguars' offense led by Trevor Lawrence is expected to be one of the best units in the NFL, Bigsby is an intriguing player in best ball formats and in traditional leagues as at least a handcuff to Etienne. In 2022, Etienne rushed 10 times inside the five-yard line, converting just two of those rushes for touchdowns. Among the 15 players who saw double-digit rushes inside the five, he was the only player to score fewer than four touchdowns. Given that data, could Bigsby have been drafted to seize the goal line back role? It's possible. If so, he'll have real best ball value in one of the highest-scoring offenses in the league, and if Etienne has to miss time, he'll be a must-start option with RB1 upside. Bigsby will be a popular zero-RB strategy asset at his RB51-55 price tag in 2023 fantasy drafts since he's now one of the premier backup running backs in all of fantasy football.
