BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 50% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Even though Brian Robinson Jr. continues to operate as Washington’s lead back, Antonio Gibson’s workload is sufficient to warrant consideration as a roster option. Gibson has been operating with a 44.1% snap share since Week 6 while retaining a sizable role as a receiving weapon. He has also accumulated 118 routes, 23 targets, 21 receptions, and 153 receiving yards while garnering 5+ targets in three of his matchups.
Gibson is also averaging 3.4 rushing attempts and 16.6 rushing yards since Week 6, although it is his involvement as a pass-catcher that sustains his viability as a roster resource. That includes Gibson’s numbers during Washington’s Thanksgiving Day matchup with NFC East rival Dallas, when he led the backfield in snaps (36), routes (19), and targets (four).
Gibson’s usage and output would also increase if Robinson were sidelined during any of the Commanders’ upcoming matchups. Gibson would share touches with Chris Rodriguez Jr. if that scenario transpires, but would still be capable of operating as an RB3/flex.
