Tank Bigsby Week 8 Outlook - Packers at Jaguars

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 24th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Last week, Bigsby played a season-high 66% of the snaps with 26 carries and 118 rushing yards. He still barely saw any passing work with only one target (two targets all season), but he did play 47.6% of the passing down snaps, which is a big uptick. We still need more news regarding Travis Etienne's status for Week 8 for a final call with Bigsby's outlook. He remains a dynamic threat on early downs. Among 66 qualifying backs, he ranks eighth in explosive run rate, 18th in missed tackles forced per attempt, and first in yards after contact per attempt. The Packers aren't the smash matchup that they once were. Green Bay has allowed the 11th-lowest missed tackle rate, the 13th-fewest rushing yards per game, the 12th-lowest yards per carry to gap runs, and the tenth-lowest gap run success rate (Bigsby 52.2% gap).
