Tank Bigsby fantasy football preview 2025: Stats, season outlook, predictions
Tank Bigsby 2025 Fantasy Preview
2024: Looking to rebound from a lost rookie year, Bigsby ended up leading the Jaguars in carries, if narrowly. He took the ball 168 times to Travis Etienne's 150. He was far more effective than his backfield mate, winning the YPC battle 4.6 to 3.7, and lapping Etienne in rush yards over expected. Bigsby did remain a complete non-factor in the passing game, catching all of seven balls on 12 targets. That's a hard way to make a fantasy living in 2025.
What's changed: Etienne remains on the roster for now, but fourth-rounder Bhayshul Tuten has arrived to compete for a role as a Mostert-ian sprinter. Neither back figures to challenge Bigsby near the goal line, which keeps him in the mix for touchdowns-based RB3 value.
2025 Outlook: Bigsby won't feel like a sexy flier, but has a higher floor than some of the other backs in his ADP range. He's a 'safety first' later-round pick.

Jaguars' Cam Little hits a 70-yard field goal in an exhibition game against the Steelers
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Jacksonville's Cam Little made a 70-yard field goal to end the first half against Pittsburgh in a preseason game on Saturday night, a kick that would have broken the NFL record had it happened during the regular season. Little and the Jaguars celebrated widely as the half ended with the Steelers leading 14-9. Rookie sensation Travis Hunter was one of the first to greet him on the field, body-bumped each other in midair. Baltimore's Justin Tucker holds the NFL mark, having made a 66-yarder at Detroit in 2021. Little, a sixth-round draft pick from Arkansas in 2024, made 27 of 29 field-goal attempts as a rookie and all 27 extra points. His long was 59 yards. He seemed to know his latest one was good from the onset. He watched intently and pumped his fist as it slid a little left and cleared the crossbar by several yards — far enough that the ball boy caught it in the air. ___ AP NFL:

Fantasy football: New QB-coach combo could pay dividends in 2025
Whispering is all the rage these days. Robert Redford became the 'Horse Whisperer' back in a 1998 film, Cesar Millan was crowned the Dog Whisperer in 2004, and yours truly was given the moniker of Tight End Whisperer by the fantasy football community in 2017. Whispering is considered a high achievement — more knowledgeable than all others in a particular field. So, when Liam Coen was referred to as the Quarterback Whisperer in 2022, Jaguars fans and fantasy football managers alike turned their attention to Trevor Lawrence. Could this finally be his breakout season? Advertisement When fantasy managers drafted Baker Mayfield in the 14th round in 2023, few of them knew that he had been touched by a football angel. After being traded from Carolina to Los Angeles in 2022, Mayfield connected with Coen, who was serving as the Rams assistant quarterbacks coach. The two worked closely together, and over a five-game stretch, Coen's 'whispering' helped Mayfield become an efficient NFL quarterback and someone who was even fantasy-worthy. Mayfield took what he learned to Tampa Bay in 2023 and posted career-best numbers in passing yards, passing touchdowns and completion percentage. He was so efficient that it opened up his downfield passing to levels no one expected. Advertisement Then, when Mayfield reunited with Coen in 2024, Mayfield's numbers went off the charts. Not only did he best his career highs in passing yards and touchdowns, but his 71.4 percent completion rate was highest in the league of any quarterback who played in 12 or more games. His 108.1 QB rating ranked third. Coen's work with Mayfield was lauded throughout NFL circles, and when it came time to find a new head coach, it was one of the primary reasons the Jaguars made him their No. 1 target. Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence leaves the field after practice at the team's NFL football training camp on July 28, 2025. AP Fantasy Football DVQ: The only draft rankings you need The latest incarnation of the Fantasy Madman's football rating system has arrived. The nuts and bolts have been tweaked and strengthened, the breadth of the database was expanded, some ingredients were added to the soup, and some that were souring the stew were removed. So we're leaner and more flavorful. Now allow us to serve you the latest helping of the Draft Value Quotient (DVQ). The DVQ is a system that rates players across the board, balancing value based on positional depth. A player's DVQ rating represents the point in the draft where projected production meets draft value. Each draft slot is assigned a value for expected production, which descends at a constant rate (same amount of expected points substracted from each descending pick). However, a player's real-world production forms an arc (steep fall at top, then flattening out), therefore there are gaps in the ratings. Example: The top player might have a 1.0 DVQ, but the second-ranked player might have a DVQ of 13.3. Deeper in the draft pool, instead of big gaps, players will only be separated by percentage points. So saddle up, study up, then queue up a draft, and take a ride with the DVQ. It has been a rough ride for Lawrence throughout his four-year NFL career. His rookie campaign was marred by the Urban Meyer era in Jacksonville, and most gave him a mulligan. Advertisement He blossomed under Doug Pederson in 2022, but then took a slight step back in Year 3. The underlying metrics seemed clean, but his decision-making was questioned as he threw 14 interceptions. Last season was marred by injuries and he played in just 10 games. But there is no doubting his overall talent, and now teamed up with Coen, the highly coveted breakout is here. Those who have been burned by Lawrence in the past are still harboring a grudge, and that is just fine. His ADP is right around 140, which puts him as QB20 in most drafts, a veritable bargain if you believe Coen can 'fix' him. Jaguars head coach Liam Coen Getty Images Advertisement Without Coen, we've seen completion percentages better than 60 percent, we've watched Lawrence throw for over 4,000 yards, and we've even seen him rush for more than 300 yards with multiple touchdowns. Think about the growth we witnessed with Mayfield, and now imagine the possibilities for Lawrence. You don't have to draft him as your No. 1 quarterback, but if you wait on the position and draft two mid- to late-round guys, he certainly could be by season's end.
