Bigsby rushed twice for six yards and caught his only target for 19 yards in Sunday's 17-17 preseason tie against the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
It was encouraging to see Bigsby contribute as a pass catcher considering he had only seven catches last season compared to Travis Etienne's 39. Bigsby played the opening drive Sunday, which culminated in a botched handoff that was credited as a Trevor Lawrence fumble, while Etienne accumulated 32 yards on four touches on the team's second possession before the starters were removed from the game. They seem headed for a backfield split come the regular season and are currently running ahead of rookie fourth-round pick Bhayshul Tuten, who scored a second-quarter touchdown with the backups. Jacksonville's final preseason game will be Saturday against the Dolphins.

Bigsby rushed the ball six times for 24 yards in Saturday's 31-25 preseason loss to the Steelers. He did not catch his only target.
EDGE Analysis
Bigsby had fine production on his limited opportunity, but his usage was the far bigger story. All of Jacksonville's starting skill-position players were on the field for the first drive, and Bigsby did not see any snaps on that possession. While that usage isn't guaranteed to continue into the regular season, it doesn't appear that Bigsby is challenging Travis Etienne for the lead role out of the backfield at this point.

Travis Etienne seemed to be the feature back during Tuesday's practice, after Bigsby got more work with the starters last week, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The report notes that Bigsby performed well Tuesday, reaching the second level on multiple runs even though Etienne got more work. The big takeaway is that both running backs are playing a lot of first-team snaps, while rookie fourth-round pick Bhayshul Tuten has been limited by a minor hamstring injury. Snaps and touches are up for grabs under new coach Liam Coen, who oversaw a dramatic transformation of Tampa Bay's running game last year.

Bigsby carried the ball 14 times for 39 yards and a touchdown and caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
The second-year RB split the workload in the Jaguars' backfield with Travis Etienne, and while Etienne was more productive in terms of overall yardage (60 yards on 16 touches), Bigsby's one-yard TD plunge in the first quarter was the only score either of them managed. Bigsby wrapped up the 2024 campaign with 766 rushing yards on 168 carries, good for a 4.6 YPC that was far superior to Etienne's 3.7 mark, but the latter offers more as a pass catcher. The duo seems likely to remain in a timeshare to begin 2025.

Bigsby rushed the ball 11 times for 33 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
Bigsby was out-touched 16-11 by Travis Etienne, though his 11 rushing attempts fell in line with his workload for the majority of the season. Even against a beat-up Tennessee linebacker corps, Bigsby struggled to find rushing room, with his longest gain going for just seven yards. Given the relatively poor state of the Jaguars' offense and the split backfield, it's difficult to trust Bigsby to produce in Week 18 against the Colts.

Bigsby rushed the ball 12 times for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-14 loss to the Raiders. He added one reception on on one target for one yard.
EDGE Analysis
The Jaguars were in a tightly contested battle with the Raiders throughout the day, allowing them to stick with the ground game a bit more than is typically the case. That benefitted Bigsby, who ended the contest with two more touches than Etienne. He also had a fairly efficient showing that was highlighted by a long gain of 10 yards and a one-yard touchdown plunge late in the first quarter. A Week 17 matchup against the Titans should also be close, so Bigsby could see be in line for decent volume once again.

Bigsby rushed 11 times for 42 yards and didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 32-25 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
After out-touching Travis Etienne, 19-8, in Week 14 against the Titans, Bigsby returned to a complementary role against the Jets, finishing with 11 touches to Etienne's 18. They'll likely continue to work as a tandem in Week 16, when the Jaguars could have a more run-heavy game script than usual in a battle between bottom-feeders against the Raiders. Bigsby has just five catches all season, so he relies almost exclusively on rushing contributions while the versatile Etienne can play in all situations.

Bigsby rushed the ball 18 times for 55 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 10-6 win over the Titans. He added one reception on two targets for seven yards.
EDGE Analysis
Bigsby returned from a one-game absence in Week 13 and was in a committee backfield with Travis Etienne. His usage changed significantly Sunday, as he out-touched Etienne 19-8, including 18-4 in rushing attempts. Bigsby wasn't particularly effective with the opportunity by averaging just 3.1 yards per rush with a long of 12 yards. However, he did punch in an eight-yard touchdown to tally the go-ahead score for the Jaguars, and his usage in the victory makes him a more appealing fantasy option moving forward.

Bigsby carried seven times for 28 yards and caught his lone target for seven yards during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Texans.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old returned from a one-game absence due to an ankle issue and played 46 percent of the offensive snaps. Bigsby appeared on track to take over the starting job earlier this season after a five-game stretch in which he tallied 447 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns, but Travis Etienne now has a bit more upside because he sees more passing-down work in this backfield committee.

Bigsby (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Bigsby missed the Jaguars' Week 11 loss to the Lions, but the Week 12 bye week proved to be enough to get healthy. With all three of Bigsby, Travis Etienne and D'Ernest Johnson healthy, it's difficult to get behind any of the three as recommended fantasy options outside of deeper formats.
