Bigsby ran tough all day and earned a split in the Jaguars backfield, with Travis Etienne also seeing 12 rushing attempts. Forty-seven of Bigsby's 73 yards came after contact. Etienne was the clear pass-catching back in Week 1, but Bigsby showed he could be a 1b option in the running game this season. He should be rostered in all fantasy formats.
Jaguars RB Travis Etienne took 12 carries for only 44 yards and 1 TD. He added 2 catches for 15 yards for an OK fantasy day. Most troubling, though, was the involvement of second-year RB Tank Bigsby. Coming off a strong training camp, Bigbsy matched Etienne in carries and topped him in yards by 29.
Etienne rushed 12 times for 44 yards and a touchdown and brought in two of three targets for 15 yards in the Jaguars' 20-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
The Jaguars were about to go up 24-7.
It was an ugly opening day for Etienne. Not only did he evenly split the backfield workload with Tank Bigsby, but Bigsby was far more effective (73 yards) and Etienne managed to lose a fumbled near the goal line in the fourth quarter -- a score that would have effectively ended the game.
