STM Take

A power back in a complementary role behind a star.

The case for

  • 2024 produced 766 rushing yards on 4.7 YPC, earning the STTM tier 6 #23 finish that establishes his floor as a starter-grade option in the right scheme.
  • Wk 18 2025's 17.6 PPR shows the ceiling when the rotation gives him goal-line and short-yardage work; Philadelphia is exactly the system that historically deploys a power-back complement profitably.

The worry

  • The Jacksonville-to-Philadelphia trade essentially confirmed that the team that drafted him was ready to move on after one positive season, which is a meaningful market signal.
  • Five of his last eight 2025 games scored under 4 PPR (3.4, 0.8, 0.4, 1.9, 1.9). Behind Barkley, that is the realistic floor for the role.

What to watch: Whether Philadelphia gives him a defined goal-line role for 2026 (12+ red-zone carries) or whether Saquon Barkley absorbs that work as well.

Full take and bio

The 2025 split (#71 JAX, #49 PHI) shows the trade saved his season but did not produce a real workload increase. Wk 18's 17.6 PPR is the lone spike in a game log otherwise dominated by sub-6 PPR weeks. Bigsby is now a power-back complement to Saquon Barkley, which is a defined ceiling no matter how the rotation evolves.

Bigsby came out of Auburn as Jacksonville's 3rd-round pick (88th overall) in 2023. He posted 766 rushing yards on 4.7 yards per carry in his 2024 breakout season, which earned him an STTM tier 6 #23 finish, the best of his career. Jacksonville traded him to Philadelphia at the 2025 midseason for a Day 3 draft pick, slotting him behind Saquon Barkley as the power-back complement. He had been competing with Travis Etienne for early-down work in Jacksonville before the move.
