Expanded role beacons Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said that Bigsby is in line to take on a greater role out of the backfield for Sunday's game against the Patriots in London Travis Etienne (hamstri...

Impact Though Pederson noted that Etienne had a good week of practice before being listed as questionable heading into Sunday, the 2021 first-round draft pick ultimately couldn't shake off the hamstring injury he sustained in the Jaguars' Week 6 loss to the Bears. While Pederson is seemingly leaving the door open for Etienne to return to the lineup Week 8 versus the Packers, his absence Sunday likely leaves the door open for Bigsby to serve as the Jaguars' top option on the ground. D'Ernest Johnson is expected to have a sizable role of his own -- likely as Jacksonville's top passing-down back -- but in non-PPR formats especially, Bigsby still profiles as a strong lineup option for Week 7. Even while working behind Etienne this season, Bigsby has flashed over his 80 snaps through six games, carrying 41 times for 297 yards (7.2 average) and two touchdowns. A workload of 10-to-15 carries could be enough for Bigsby to produce a useful line for fantasy managers.

Modest numbers in London loss Bigsby rushed seven times for 24 yards in the Jaguars' 35-16 loss to the Bears on Sunday in London. He also returned three kickoffs for 102 yards.

Impact Bigsby had an opportunity for an expanded role when Travis Etienne exited the game in the third quarter with a hamstring injury, but game script turned completely against the run as the second half unfolded. The second-year back's pedestrian numbers were highly disappointing in the context of his previous two games, when he'd appeared on the verge of usurping his teammate for the lead-back role by recording 191 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns on 20 carries, as well as a 28-yard reception. However, with Etienne potentially sitting out next Sunday's matchup against the Patriots in London, Bigsby could be poised for much more favorable conditions for a return to fantasy-friendly production.

Impact Bigsby may have laid claim to the No. 1 back role for the foreseeable future with his second straight highly efficient effort, one that came on the heels of a seven-carry, 90-yard performance in Week 4 against the Texans. Bigsby was even better Sunday, taking his first catch of the season for a chunk gain and crossing the goal line following a 19-yard run during which he jumped on his own loose ball in the end zone and on a dynamic 65-yard scamper in the latter portion of the fourth quarter. Bigsby logged seven more carries than Etienne in the high-scoring victory, and there could certainly be a changing of the guard afoot as Jacksonville heads to London for a Week 6 matchup against the Bears.

Set to back up Etienne again Bigsby (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Colts after logging three limited practices, Demetrius Harvey of the Florida Times-Union reports.

Impact Bigsby and Travis Etienne (shoulder) got the same treatment throughout the week, notching three limited practices apiece before being declared healthy on Friday's injury report. Etienne remains the favorite to get the majority of playing time in Jacksonville's backfield, but Bigsby may have earned a larger role after rushing for 90 yards on just seven carries in the 24-20 Week 4 loss to Houston.

Still limited at practice Bigsby (shoulder) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Impact As did fellow RB Travis Etienne (shoulder), which sets the stage for Friday's practice to add key context regarding the duo's Week 5 availability. Unless he manages to practice fully, however, Bigsby will presumably carry an injury designation into the weekend.

Limited due to shoulder injury Bigsby (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports.

Impact Bigsby has been playing through the shoulder injury since it limited him to only special-teams snaps in a Week 2 loss to Cleveland. He got just seven snaps on offense and two carries Week 3 at Buffalo, but an opportunity opened up Week 4 at Houston when Travis Etienne suffered a shoulder injury of his own. Although Etienne ultimately returned to the game and led the backfield with 52 percent snap share and 11 carries, it was Bigsby who had the more productive outing, turning 17 snaps into seven carries for 90 yards (thanks to a 58-yard run in the second half). Both running backs are now listed as limited practice participants due to shoulder injuries, suggesting they should be able to play this Sunday against the Colts but may not quite be at 100 percent. Etienne is faster, quicker and has superior pass-game skills, but Bigsby is making a strong case for a steady role of his own with three gains of 20-plus yards among his 21 carries this season.

Leading rusher in loss Bigsby carried the ball seven times for 90 yards in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Texans.

Impact Travis Etienne missed most of the first quarter with a shoulder injury, but Bigsby's biggest gain came in the third as he rumbled for 58 yards on a drive that stalled on Houston's goal line. Etienne didn't play poorly when he was on the field, turning 12 touches into 60 scrimmage yards, but Bigsby's performance could encourage the winless Jaguars to shake things up and go with more of a backfield timeshare in Week 5 against the Colts. The second-year back's touch volume could ultimately depend on Etienne's health, however.

Cleared to play Sunday Bigsby (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Texans and is expected to play.

Impact Bigbsy has been playing through the shoulder issue the last couple weeks. On the year, he has produced a 14-82-0 rushing line behind Travis Etienne in Jacksonville's backfield. Bigsby has yet to draw a single target in the pass game. Bigsby is little more than a fantasy bench stash.

Limited in practice again Bigsby (shoulder) remains limited in Thursday's practice.

Impact Bigsby managed to play through his lingering shoulder injury during Jacksonville's 47-10 loss to the Bills on Monday, but he's since logged back-to-back limited practice sessions. If the No. 2 running back can gain clearance to suit up for Sunday's pivotal divisional matchup against the Texans, Bigsby will once gain be positioned to act as the primary backup to starting running back Travis Etienne.
