BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2
ANALYSIS: New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson is expected to serve as the lead back on Sunday with Rhamondre Stevenson (foot) sitting out with an injury.
Through the first five weeks of the season, Gibson has typically operated as a change-of-pace option but has done well with the few touches he has earned. He has averaged an impressive 5.9 yards per carry and seen three targets in two games this season. In addition, he has eclipsed double-digit PPR points on two occasions.

This weekend he faces a difficult matchup against the Houston Texans who have allowed the 12th-fewest points to opposing running backs this season. However, the Patriots may be trailing throughout this game which could open up several pass-catching opportunities for Gibson.
Fantasy managers should view him as a high-floor RB2 in PPR formats and a solid flex option in standard leagues.
