Gibson has outproduced Stevenson, positing a higher yards per rushing attempt average (3.73 vs. 3.47), missed forced tackle rate per attempt (18% vs. 11%), and half-point PPR fantasy points per game average (7.3 vs. 4.3) over the past two weeks (per Fantasy Points Data).
Meanwhile, he faces a Miami Dolphins defense that has surrendered the 10-most rushing yards (113) and the fourth-most fantasy points (26.8) per game to running backs this year, giving up two rushing touchdowns in three consecutive contests. With multiple superstar running backs on a bye, Gibson has low-end RB2 upside.
