BALLER MOVE: Bench in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3
ANALYSIS: Despite Antonio Gibson's solid Week 2 performance, totaling 96 rushing yards on 11 attempts, he remains a risky start for fantasy football in Week 3.

Gibson’s versatility as both a rusher and a pass-catcher makes him a valuable handcuff to Stevenson and a potential flex option in favorable matchups down the road. While he's not a strong start in Week 3, his upside warrants a spot on fantasy rosters.
