Tank Bigsby's ADP rise to the 13th/14th round was a mistake because his role as a pure handcuff to Saquon Barkley remained unchanged; his value in best ball is tied strictly to handcuff upside, not the 5-7 touches he might receive while spelling the starter.NegativeValueAug 26, 2026
JJ Zachariason highlights Tank Bigsby as a player who illustrates how the field is mispricing running backs, noting his start in the 17th-18th round.NegativeRoleJul 23, 2026
Zachariason notes that while Tank Bigsby was very good per rush last year and has been solid on the ground, he has never been a true bell cow through the air and has horrific per-route-run metrics as a pass catcher in the NFL. If Saquon Barkley goes down, Bigsby gets a huge boost, but the receiving work would be limited. Zachariason cautions against assuming Bigsby would automatically take over all of Barkley's work.PositiveValueJul 22, 2026

Tank Bigsby is mentioned as one of the late running backs Burroughs likes and mixes into his portfolio; he's part of the strategy to diversify late-round running back exposure rather than concentrating too heavily on one player.PositiveBreakoutNo date
JJ Zachariason identifies Bigsby as a one-injury-away upside play; if Saquon Barkley goes down, Bigsby could "go absolutely berserk." Zachariason values Bigsby's secondary numbers and peripheral stats from last year as legitimately strong, distinguishing him from backup RBs like Pacheco who lack the talent profile to produce even with opportunity. Bigsby's upside is tied to his actual production capability, not just depth chart position.
