Antonio Gibson's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson signed a three-year contract to join the organization this offseason, and early reviews from Patriots beat writer Brian Hines are encouraging. "Antonio Gibson's speed was evident in the no-contact setting, as well as his wide receiver background," Hines wrote for PatsPulpit.com. "Gibson should have a role for himself in this offense." It's the first day of organized team activities, and fantasy managers shouldn't be too high on the former Washington Commander yet, but he has a path to fantasy relevance as a pass-catcher behind or alongside Rhamondre Stevenson. The 25-year-old played wideout in his college career at Memphis and posted 172 receptions for 1,283 yards and seven receiving touchdowns through his first 61 NFL games. He's a solid late-round flyer in PPR leagues, as veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett or rookie Drake Maye could utilize him as a checkdown option often given the lack of high-end pass-catchers on the New England roster. Gibson's 13 fumbles since entering the league rank third-most since 2020, but if he can clean that part of his game up, he should be worthwhile on fantasy rosters.

Free agent running back Antonio Gibson and the New England Patriots have agreed to a three-year, $11.25 million contract on Monday. The deal includes $5.3 million guaranteed, with a maximum value of $17.25 million. Gibson rushed for 265 yards and a touchdown while catching 48 of 59 targets for 389 yards and two touchdowns over 16 games for the Commanders in 2023. With Ezekiel Elliott set to become a free agent, Gibson will join Rhamondre Stevenson and is set to be an integral part of New England's backfield. The 25-year-old will handle passing situations and third-down duties while spelling Stevenson on early-downs. With the move to New England, Gibson's fantasy value improves slightly, but he is a better fantasy option in PPR formats, making him a borderline RB4 heading into fantasy drafts in 2024.

Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson rushed two times for eight yards and caught three of his four targets for 28 yards in the season-ending blowout loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Gibson completely lost his starting job to Brian Robinson Jr. this year, finishing the campaign with just 265 rushing yards, 389 receiving yards, and three total touchdowns. The 25-year-old has fumbled 12 times in four years, which is likely one cause of his decreased playing time since his rookie season. Gibson is scheduled to be a free agent this offseason. Although his days as a fringe RB1 are likely over, he could have PPR value as a pass-catching back in the right offense next season.

Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson is not a player who should be started in Week 18. With starting running back Brian Robinson Jr. returning from injury in Week 17, Gibson was limited to just six total touches. This week, the Commanders have a tough matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Although Dallas' defense hasn't been the best against the run lately, the fourth-year pro doesn't see enough consistent work to warrant consideration as a starting option. Leave Gibson on the bench for the final week of the regular season.

Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson and the offense were unable to do much against a stout San Francisco 49ers defense in a 27-10 Week 17 loss. Gibson saw four carries for 19 yards on the ground and caught two of his four targets for 17 yards through the air. This game saw the return of Brian Robinson Jr. for the first time since Week 13, but the 25-year-old Gibson's workload didn't really change all that much. Robinson had 13 touches to Gibson's six in his return, and that should be the pecking order again in the team's final game of the year in Week 18 against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys. At best, Gibson has been an RB3/flex option with minimal upside in deeper fantasy leagues.
