Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Cleared to play against Chicago
Rotowire
Bigsby (abdomen) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Bears.
Bigsby was working through an abdominal injury throughout the week, but he faded an injury tag after logging a full practice Saturday. He worked in an elevated role on offense against the Titans in Week 2, but Bigsby will be the Eagles' RB2 for Monday after Saquon Barkley was able to overcome a shoulder stinger, with Will Shipley (foot) serving as the third option out of the backfield.

Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Logs limited practice Friday
Rotowire
Bigsby (abdomen) was limited at practice Friday.
After Saquon Barkley suffered a stinger this past Sunday at Tennessee, the initial question surrounded who between Bigsby and fellow RB Will Shipley (foot) was slated for more work in the short term. However, Barkley already has progressed to full participation as of Friday, while Bigsby and Shipley followed up absences Thursday with some on-field work one day later. As a result, whoever is the healthiest of the two likely will be the best bet to earn complementary reps out of the Eagles backfield Monday in Chicago.

Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Misses Thursday practice
Rotowire
Bigsby (hamstring) didn't participate in Thursday's practice.
Bigsby was spotted in sweats during the open portion of Thursday's session, and now the reason for his absence has become known. Both Bigsby and fellow reserve RB Will Shipley (foot) were DNPs to kick off Week 3 prep, while Saquon Barkley, who suffered a stinger this past Sunday in Tennessee, was limited. Because all three are banged up to some extent at this point in the week, the overall situation will be watched to get a sense of who among the three may be able to play Monday at Chicago.

Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Sleepers (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
If Saquon Barkley (shoulder) is out for Week 3 at Chicago then Bigsby and Will Shipley are worth using as flex options against the Bears. Barkley left Week 2 at Tennessee, and Bigby had 13 carries for 33 yards and a touchdown and two catches for 5 yards on two targets, while Shipley had seven carries for 24 yards and two catches for 5 yards on two targets. Chicago is No. 10 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, and we'll continue to monitor Barkley's status throughout the week. Bigsby would be a flex option in all formats if Barkley is out, and Shipley is worth using in deeper leagues.

Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Week 3 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
We don't know about the status for Saquon Barkley (shoulder), who left Week 2 at Tennessee with a stinger but returned after halftime, finishing with four carries for 9 yards and one catch for 11 yards on two targets. If he's out for Week 3 at Chicago on Monday night, then Bigsby and Will Shipley (1 percent rostered) will split touches for the Eagles against the Bears. Against the Titans, Bigsby had 13 carries for 33 yards and a touchdown and two catches for 5 yards on two targets, and Shipley had seven carries for 24 yards and two catches for 5 yards on two targets. I'd use Bigsby as a No. 2 Fantasy running back if Barkley is out, and Bigsby is worth adding for at least 10 percent of your remaining FAAB. Shipley would be a flex option and should be added for 1 percent.

Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Gets into end zone in Sunday's win
Rotowire
Bigsby carried the ball 13 times for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Titans. He also caught both his targets for five yards.
The fourth-year RB got the Eagles on the board in the second quarter with a two-yard TD plunge, and Bigsby led the backfield in totes and rushing yards after Saquon Barkley picked up a stinger on the first play from scrimmage. Barkley was able to return after halftime, but he'll be sent for further testing and isn't guaranteed to be 100 percent for a Week 3 road trip to Chicago. If he's sidelined or has his workload scaled back, Bigsby would be poised to benefit.

Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Little action in Week 1 win
Rotowire
Bigsby recorded a three-yard carry and returned two kickoffs for 50 yards during the Eagles' 24-22 win over the Commanders on Sunday.
Bigsby entered the regular season as the RB2 on the Eagles' depth chart, though he played only six offensive snaps Sunday, third most among Philadelphia running backs behind Saquon Barkley (39) and Will Shipley (10). Bigsby also played 11 snaps on special teams, and he figures to see most of his playing time as a returner, though that would quickly change if Barkley were to miss time.

Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Plays 10 preseason snaps
Rotowire
Bigsby played 10 offensive snaps this preseason before being rested for the final two exhibition contests.
The fact he was rested for Weeks 2 and 3 of the preseason while Will Shipley played would suggest Bigsby has a firm grip on RB2 duties in Philadelphia behind Saquon Barkley. Barkley is entering his age-29 season with plenty of miles on his proverbial tires, and there's been talk out of Philly that the team wants to get Bigsby more involved to keep Barkley fresh. If something were to happen to him injury-wise, Bigsby would immediately enter the fantasy RB1 conversation in the Eagles' run-heavy offense that features one of the league's best offensive lines, making him the premier bench stash headed into the 2026 campaign.

Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Sitting Monday with toe issue
Rotowire
Bigsby won't practice Monday due to a toe injury, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
Bigsby started Saturday's preseason game in Baltimore with No. 1 RB Saquon Barkley getting the day off, but the former managed just five yards on two carries and didn't haul in his only target. Now with an injury in tow, Bigsby will join backfield mate Dameon Pierce (hamstring) on the sideline, leaving Will Shipley, Carson Steele and Ja'Quinden Jackson as the healthy reserves at the position behind Barkley.

Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Appears locked in as RB2
Rotowire
Bigsby is expected to enter the 2026 season as the Eagles' primary backup behind Saquon Barkley, Glenn Erby of Eagles Wire reports.
Bigsby was acquired from the Jaguars prior to Week 2 last season, and he went on to rush for 344 yards and two touchdowns on 58 carries across 16 regular-season appearances for Philadelphia. His 5.9 yards per carry would have ranked first in the NFL if Bigsby had enough carries to qualify. Though the Eagles also currently employ Will Shipley, Dameon Pierce and Elijah Mitchell at running back, Bigsby appears set to be Barkley's clear No. 2 and someone who will be worth stashing on fantasy benches in the event of a Barkley injury.

Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Looks good as lead back
Rotowire
Bigsby rushed the ball 16 times for 75 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Commanders. He added one reception on one target for 31 yards.
Bigsby took advantage of the chance to work as the lead back with Saquon Barkley resting in preparation for the playoffs. He ripped off a pair of 13-yard gains on the ground, and four of his 16 carries went for at least eight yards. Bigsby also plunged into the end zone from two yards away midway through the third quarter while delivering an impressive 31-yard gain as a receiver-- his longest play from scrimmage. He'll return to a reserve role for Philadelphia's playoff run and closes the regular season with 377 yards from scrimmage across 16 games.

Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Three touches in tight win
Rotowire
Bigsby rushed twice for seven yards and caught one pass for two yards in Sunday's 13-12 win over the Bills.
Bigsby's only big offensive outputs these season have come when the Eagles had a multi-score lead and could rest their starters late. In a tight contest Sunday, he saw the field for just five offensive snaps. The Eagles could still improve from the third to the second seed in the final week of the regular season, meaning Bigsby's role could remain small for the season finale against the Commanders.

Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Gets into end zone Saturday
Rotowire
Bigsby logged four rushes for 37 yards and a touchdown Saturday in a 29-18 Week 16 win over Washington.
As usual, Saquon Barkley was a workhorse for the Eagles, posting a 21-132-1 line as a rusher. That left just eight offensive snaps for Bigsby, but he made the most of those opportunities, especially when he ripped off a 22-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter to effectively seal the win for Philadelphia. The touchdown was the first of the campaign for Bigsby, who has averaged a robust 6.6 yards on 40 carries this season but isn't likely to be a viable fantasy play as long as Barkley as healthy.

Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Limited due to illness
Rotowire
Bigsby was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice due to an illness.
Bigsby will have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Saturday's road game against the Commanders. The third-year running back is coming off his highest-usage game of the regular season, when he turned 17 carries into 57 yards during Sunday's 31-0 win over the Raiders. Thirteen of those carries came in the fourth quarter, as the Eagles limited the wear and tear on lead back Saquon Barkley (stinger) while they had the game well in hand.

Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Logs one offensive snap Friday
Rotowire
Bigsby didn't record a touch while playing just one of Philadelphia's 53 offensive snaps in Friday's 24-15 loss to the Bears.
Bigsby had received at least one carry in each of the Eagles' last five games prior to Friday's loss. The negative game script likely factored into his lack of playing time, as Philadelphia turned to a pass-catching back in Will Shipley when spelling Saquon Barkley while trailing for nearly the entire game. Despite limited usage, Bisgby has been incredibly efficient in his 11 games with the Eagles, averaging 9.1 yards per carry on just 18 rush attempts. However, he'll likely remain a minimal portion of the team's offensive game plan in the Week 14 matchup against the Chargers.

Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Four carries in Week 11 win
Rotowire
Bigsby rushed four times for 34 yards in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Lions.
Bigsby's stat line wasn't particularly impressive, but both his carries and yards represent his second-best numbers since joining the Eagles via trade after Week 1. It would take an injury to Saquon Barkley for Bigsby to become a significant part of the Eagles' gameplan.

Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Stashes (RB Preview)
Rotowire
Saquon Barkley was nursing a groin injury the last time we saw him. If that flares back up and he misses time, Bigsby will lead a committee and could be a nice bye week replacement or better. He has turned 10 carries into 115 yards in his short time with the Eagles.

Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Week 10 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
We hope that Saquon Barkley (groin) is healthy coming off Philadelphia's bye in Week 9, but he was injured toward the end of the Week 8 game against the Giants. Bigsby had nine carries for 104 yards against the Giants, and he would be at least a No. 2 running back in all leagues if Barkley was out in Week 10 against Green Bay. Keep an eye on any news related to Barkley, but Bigsby should be added for at least 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Week 9 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Saquon Barkley downplayed the groin injury that caused him to leave Week 8 against the Giants, and the Eagles have a bye in Week 9, which should give him time to heal. That said, you might want to add Bigsby now just in case Barkley can't play in Week 10, and Bigsby was great against the Giants with nine carries for 104 yards. He would be a No. 2 running back in all leagues if Barkley was out, and Bigsby should be added for 5-10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Earns limited offensive snaps
Rotowire
Bigsby carried once for 11 yards and reeled in his lone target for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 28-22 win over the Vikings.
Bigsby had been strictly used on special teams by the Eagles after they acquired him from the Jaguars following Week 1, but he finally earned a small role in the offense in his sixth game with the team. He got involved early, rushing for a first down on the eighth play of the first drive, but his overall role was limited. He played just four offensive snaps, trailing Will Shipley (eight) for second among Eagles running backs behind lead option Saquon Barkley.
