Bottom Line

Doug Pederson opened 2022 with Travis Etienne running behind James Robinson but leading the receiving work. Etienne took over the rushing from Week 7, but his receiving opportunities declined.

That plus the third-round selection of Bigsby leave a wide range of possibilities for how Etienne and the rookie could fit together in 2023. As long as Bigsby remains in RB4 ADP territory or lower, he’ll be an upside draft addition across fantasy formats.

He’d at least be an Etienne injury away from lead work in what could be a top offense.

What We Learned Last Year
  • Bigsby closed out a three-year run of leading the Auburn backfield.
    • He averaged 6.0 yards per carry as a true freshman in 2020, more than doubling his nearest RB teammate in rushing attempts.
    • The next season found Bigsby ranking fourth in the SEC in carries, rushing yards, and scrimmage yards – despite playing for a deteriorating team.
    • Bigsby closed out by leading the 2022 team in receptions, on top of leading in rushing. He drew 15.3% target share, tops among his RB class and in the same territory as Rachaad White, who led the 2021 RB class.
    • Bigsby averaged 5.4 yards per carry and 7.2 yards per catch for his Auburn career.
  • He ran a 4.45-second 40 time at his pro day. That was enough to give him a 74th-percentile speed score among RBs, even with the 0.05-second penalty for pro day 40 times being historically faster than Combine times.
  • Bigsby’s Combine 40 time rated just 47th percentile. Even there, though, he posted a 70th-percentile 10-yard split.
  • Jacksonville selected him in Round 3, as the seventh RB off the board and fourth in the round.
What to Expect in 2023
  • RB Travis Etienne operated as a rushing workhorse after James Robinson left. But HC Doug Pederson said in February about the backfield: “You’re always looking to have two, three, four guys that can work the rotation.”
  • The work is bound to be spread more than last year, when JaMycal Hasty and Snoop Cooner took barely any touches.
  • Pederson’s previous five years as a HC all came in Philadelphia, 2016-2020. Miles Sanders’ 13.7 carries per game in 2020 were the most by any Eagles RB in that span. No other RB reached 12 carries per game. Two of those teams had two RBs reach double-digit carries per game.
  • Bigsby stands roughly the same size as Etienne but does look like more of a power runner. Still, the two aren’t different enough in style to make it clear how they might fit as complements.
  • Pederson has continued to say the team likes Conner, though he totaled just 12 touches in his rookie campaign. He and Hasty remain, and the team added D’Ernest Johnson on a cheap one-year deal.
  • Bigsby should be the favorite among that group to emerge as Jacksonville’s No. 2 back

Travis Etienne, RB JAC

11:10pm EDT 9/17/23

Travis Etienne silenced in loss

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne handled 15 of 17 team RB opportunities in a Week 2 loss to Kansas City. Rookie Tank Bigbsy didn't see a carry or a target, as D'Ernest Johnson filled in as the RB2. Etienne tallied just 42 total yards, but the usage signals future RB1 lines. Next up is a home date with a Houston squad that allowed Zack Moss to post 18-88-1 rushing.

Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby popped in a one-yard TD in Sunday's season-opening win over the Colts. The rookie got both of Jacksonville's carries from the 5-yard line and in. But he was out-carried overall by RB Travis Etienne 18 to 7. Bigsby also saw just one target -- and dropped it, resulting in an INT. We'll see how this backfield evolves over the course of the season. But, in the short term, Bigsby looks like a TD-or-bust fantasy play.

Jaguars HC Doug Pederson is turning over play-calling duties to OC Press Taylor, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "I totally trust Press," Pederson told NFL.com. "We think alike. We've been together for a long time, and he's around Trevor [Lawrence] all the time and knows what Trevor likes." We'd prefer Pederson continue calling plays considering Jacksonville's success last year. But we're ultimately not expecting a significant fantasy impact here. Taylor has worked under Pederson for six NFL seasons.

Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby mixed in liberally with the first-team offense in Saturday's preseason finale. The rookie played nine of 25 snaps (36%), carrying 6 times for 37 yards (6.2 YPC). The bad news: He lost a fumble near the goal line. The good news: He got a carry near the goal line, and he continued working with the starters on the next series. Bigsby might see enough volume to be a RB3 or flex option in larger fantasy leagues this season. And, at minimum, he's a high-end handcuff to RB Travis Etienne.

Jaguars insider John Shipley writes that the coaching staff has "seemingly thrown water on the idea of [RB Tank] Bigsby having a massively expanded role, at least this early on in his career." The rookie has had a strong training camp and already earned the No. 2 RB job. "But for now it seems that the No. 2 role is as large as it will get for Bigsby, at least early on in his career," Shipley writes. "Perhaps that changes during the season as Bigsby gets more experience, but the Jaguars are a playoff team with a veteran running back already entrenched as the starter. As a result, there might not be an overbearing pressure to expand Bigsby's role early in his career." Shipley adds that one specific area where Bigsby could contribute this season is at the goal line, which would obviously be a boon to his fantasy value and an issue for RB Travis Etienne. But it doesn't sound like Bigsby is in line for enough volume to be a reliable play in lineup-setting fantasy leagues. Consider him more of a high-end handcuff than standalone fantasy asset.

Dynasty Write-up
Bigsby wrapped up a productive career at Auburn with 540-2,903-25 (35 games). He tested as an average athlete at the Combine, however, and there are questions about his pass-catching upside. He'll begin his career behind Travis Etienne, who wasn't drafted by current HC Doug Pederson.
