Tank Bigsby had a strong performance with 7 carries for 86 yards in the 4th quarter against the Giants in a 38-20 win, demonstrating efficiency that could have been leveraged. However, over the next five games where the Eagles went 2-3 and averaged 16.2 points per game, Bigsby received only 9 touches while Saquon Barkley averaged 3.8 yards per carry. In the playoffs, Bigsby had three consecutive productive runs (4, 9, and 7 yards) early in the 2nd quarter on a TD drive but received only one touch for the remainder of the game, illustrating the Eagles' reluctance to sustain usage of complementary players.

PositiveRoleSep 10, 2026FantasyPros Articles
Bigsby is one of the most essential handcuff running backs in fantasy and would have enormous value if Saquon Barkley misses time. While not a pass-catcher (11 receptions in 50 career games), he is an effective runner who averaged 5.9 yards on 50 carries for the Eagles in 2025 after being traded from Jacksonville. The Eagles have one of the better offensive lines in the league, and beat writers have reported that Bigsby could play an expanded change-of-pace role this season.

Tank Bigsby is the No. 1 running back handcuff to target this season. In limited opportunities last season, he ranked fourth in explosive run rate, second in missed tackles rate, and first in yards after contact per attempt among 65 qualifying running backs. He has the talent to create production when given the opportunity; if Saquon Barkley misses time, Bigsby would have a legitimate opportunity to step into a significant workload behind one of the better offensive lines in football.

Tank Bigsby is positioned as a top handcuff option for Saquon Barkley managers heading into 2026. After serving as a change-of-pace option behind Barkley in 2025, Bigsby showed improvement in 2024 with 168 rushing attempts, 766 rushing yards (4.6 YPC), and 7 TDs. With Barkley entering his age-29 season and coming off a down year after his stellar 2024, the source anticipates additional reprieve for Barkley throughout 2026, which could increase Bigsby's standalone value.

One of the most essential handcuff running backs in fantasy; would have enormous value if Saquon Barkley misses time. While not a pass-catcher (11 receptions in 50 career games), Bigsby is an effective runner who averaged 5.9 yards on 50 carries for the Eagles in 2025 after early-season trade from Jacksonville. Eagles have one of the better offensive lines in the league, and beat writers report Bigsby could play an expanded change-of-pace role this season. True Value FAAB bid: $1.

Bigsby is one of the best handcuffs in the NFL despite limited mention in top-tier conversations. Among 65 qualifying backs last season, he ranked fourth in explosive run rate, second in missed tackle rate, and first in yards after contact per attempt. In Week 18 when he played more than 40% of snaps, Bigsby logged 17 touches for 106 total yards, finishing as RB9 in PPR scoring. Derek Brown recommends Bigsby as a high-value handcuff stash option.
