Antonio Gibson News
Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson rushed 14 times for 31 yards in a wild-card round loss to the Buccaneers. Gibson added two catches for four receiving yards. Gibson's 2.2 yards-per-carry was his lowest of the season as there were no running lanes against a stout Tampa run defense. The future remains bright for the former Memphis wide receiver as Gibson impressed in his rookie year. His 11 touchdowns led all rookie running backs and he put up 1,042 total yard while working as part of a time-share with J.D. McKissic and Peyton Barber. Gibson is the future at running back in Washington and will be an early-round selection in 2021 drafts.
Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin (ankle) and rookie running back Antonio Gibson (toe) are both active for the wild-card playoff game against the Buccaneers on Saturday night. Both players were limited in practice this week and were fully expected to suit up. McLaurin has the skills to exploit this Buccaneers pass defense, but with quarterback Alex Smith (calf) out and Taylor Heinicke under center, the 25-year-old second-year pass-catcher will have a much lower fantasy ceiling in the first round as a WR1. Gibson has been impressive as the lead back in his rookie season, but he shares touches with Peyton Barber and J.D. McKissic and will be facing a Tampa defense that allowed the second-fewest fantasy points per game to the position. The 22-year-old should be seen as a low-end RB1 on wild-card weekend.
Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (toe) is listed as questionable to suit up against the Buccaneers. Gibson logged two limited practices this week and played in the Week 17 win so the expectation is Gibson suits up. The game being on Saturday complicates things a little, but Gibson handled his normal workload last week when he rushed for 75 yards on 19 carries. Unfortunately for Gibson, Tampa Bay is among the best run defenses in football and Washington may need to lean on the pass as eight-point underdogs. Gibson is a risky option in a tough matchup and fantasy managers may want to pivot to passing-downs specialist J.D. McKissic.
