Jacksonville's Tank Bigsby 'could be in line for short-yardage touches'
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby scored two touchdowns during Tuesday's red zone period.
What It Means:
According to SI.com, Jacksonville's rookie running back could have a pivotal role in the red zone after his "impressive downhill acceleration" and "hulking size" was displayed on Tuesday with two short yardage touchdowns. While Travis Etienne should see a lead role in the Jaguars' backfield, Bigsby could be an intriguing RB3 candidate with his potential scoring role at his average draft position in the 12th round in 12-team point per reception leagues (according to Fantasy Football Calculator).
Per numberFire's models, Bigsby is currently our RB56 with projections including 71.7 rushing attempts for 323.7 yards and 1.9 touchdowns and 15.4 receptions for 108.1 yards.
