Tank Bigsby’s Week 2 waiver outlook centers on a volatile backfield after his trade to the Philadelphia Eagles. With Saquon Barkley healthy and Will Shipley back, Bigsby is unlikely to carve a reliable weekly role beyond gadget plays or a cautious handcuff at best. Fantasy managers in shallow leagues should likely cut bait, while deeper rosters may stash him as a lottery ticket if Barkley were to miss time or Shipley’s rib injury lingers.

Waiver targets that offer clearer, near-term upside include high-upside rookies or solid handcuffs on offenses with clearer paths to workload. The trade signals depth-chart shifts, making Bigsby a speculative add in the right formats, but a risky drop for most leagues. In short, hold in deep leagues, consider dropping in shallow ones, and look to the waiver wire for more immediate impact players.

Will Shipley’s fractured rib could sideline him, prompting the Eagles to swing a quick depth pick: Tank Bigsby. The Jaguars move to swap RB depth and add a potential kick-returner, with Etienne staying as the lead back in Jacksonville. Fantasy implications center on Bigsby’s immediate special-teams value and how Philly could deploy him in a committee while Shipley mends.

In the ripple effects, rookies Bhayshul Tuten, LeQuint Allen and Ja’Quinden Jackson could see added opportunities behind the star backs, and Week 1 showed a path for both Shipley and Dillon behind Barkley. The trade also underscores the Eagles’ return-game emphasis and Jacksonville’s willingness to reshuffle RB usage to fit who’s healthiest.

Week 2 waiver buzz centers on Tyler Allgeier, Najee Harris, and Will Shipley. Allgeier stands out as a handcuff with upside in deeper leagues if Bijan Robinson misses time. Harris is a top target to flex in many leagues as workload could trend up. Shipley sits in a still-crowded Eagles backfield, with Bigsby’s arrival dampening immediate upside. Add these three in 12+ team formats where rosters allow and monitor for Week 2 changes.

Philadelphia’s season-opening win spotlighted a glaring roster hole: a shaky No. 2 outside corner opposite Adoree' Jackson. The Eagles promoted Patrick Johnson and added Tank Bigsby, signaling shift in the backfield depth amid Will Shipley’s rib injury. Za'Darius Smith joined to bolster the pass rush, but the secondary remains the focal point as the team pushes for quick fixes to avoid costly setbacks in big games.

Draft-day pivots aside, the organization's latest moves emphasize a two-pronged approach: shore up the edge with Smith and strengthen the outside corners with Jackson and Bennett, while preserving a stable RB room with Bigsby. If the secondary isn’t stabilized soon, even a win like Week 1 won’t excuse a recurring matchup problem against sharper offenses.
