Bigsby bounced back from his horrendous rookie season in 2023 with a solid showing in 2024, and, in doing so, established himself as a starting candidate for the Jaguars in 2025. That said, Bigsby’s fantasy upside is limited by the possibility that he remains elusive. His 477 NFL snaps yielded just eight receptions for 60 yards on 16 targets, and even as a pure runner, Bigsby probably isn’t better than average by starting-RB standards. He averaged 4.6 yards per carry last year, but his rushing production was heavy up front — 5.8 YPC in Weeks 1-8 (493 yards, four TDs) and 3.3 YPC through Week 9 in (273 yards, three TDs). Bigsby offers a power element that Travis Etienne can’t, but Etienne is better at everything, and now the two of them have to hold off rookie fourth-round pick Bhayshul Tuten, who ran a 4.32 40 at 206 pounds.

The Jaguars keep talking about how they want to limit Travis Etienne’s workload, and last year the front office backed it up by using a third-round pick on Bigsby, who then scored two goal-line TDs over the first three weeks but didn’t have much luck picking up yards otherwise. A pair of lost fumbles in the first half of the season didn’t help the rookie’s cause, and he ended up having just three games all year with more than three carries. Bigsby averaged 2.6 YPC on his 50 carries — worse than Etienne’s 3.8 average behind a struggling offensive line — and caught one pass for four yards on six targets. The Jaguars have again openly discussed their desire to limit the damage to Etienne, but Bigsby’s poor rookie season means he will likely have to compete for backup roles with D’Ernest Johnson and fifth-round pick Keilan Robinson.

A third-round pick in this year’s draft, Bigsby is a straight runner with a weak anchor at 6-0, 210, but he could offset that concern with above-average burst (4.56 40, 1.54 10-yard split) and creativity as a runner. He was a good but not great starter at Auburn the last three years, totaling 2,903 yards and 25 touchdowns on 540 carries (5.4 YPC) in 35 games. Bigsby’s unremarkable production indicates average skill as a runner, and his combine testing confirmed he’s just an average athlete, so for him to emerge as a fantasy standout will likely require favorable circumstances. On the other hand, Travis Etienne can only take on so many jobs and Jacksonville’s current backups aren’t special, so Bigsby won’t have to do much to emerge as the No. 2. Acquiring free agent D’Ernest Johnson was the main hurdle, and he got less than $1 million guaranteed on a one-year contract.
