NE RB Antonio Gibson - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs Los Angeles Chargers

The Patriots have talked this week about getting Antonio Gibson more opportunities, hot on the heels of his ten carries against the Bills a week ago. It was the first time since Week 6 that Gibson has had more than seven rushing attempts while his two targets tied his most in a game since Week 7. The Chargers rank 11th in aFPA to running backs, so even if Gibson were given a similar workload in Week 17 it would be stunning if he were anything more than a low-end RB3, unless he lucks into multiple touchdowns.

NE RB Antonio Gibson - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Tennessee Titans

Antonio Gibson is not seeing a lot of work for the Patriots but he’s making up for this by not doing much when he is called upon. Gibson is the RB53 in Half-PPR points per game this season and is in line with his Week 9 projection ahead of a clash with the Titans. We have Gibson at RB45 in a clash with the side ranked ninth in aFPA to running backs in 2024.

NE RB Antonio Gibson - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Jacksonville Jaguars (in London)

Antonio Gibson saw an expected increase in workload with Rhamondre Stevenson ruled out in Week 6 and was able to post RB3 numbers. But no one is going to be throwing any parades for 5.8 Half-PPR points, even if it was a substantial improvement on his RB48 in points per game this season.

With Stevenson likely to miss out again, the lead-back role in Week 7 should again fall upon Gibson. It’s not a terrible matchup, as the Jaguars rank 27th in aFPA to running backs. But if you’re expecting more than low-end RB2 numbers from Gibson, you’re likely to be disappointed.

NE RB Antonio Gibson - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs Houston Texans

The injury to Rhamondre Stevenson means that Antonio Gibson is line for a larger workload this week against the Houston Texans. Gibson is averaging 5.9 yards per rush attempt and a career high 10.8 yards per reception in 2024, although he has only eight receptions.

The Patriots, with rookie Drake Maye making his first NFL start, will almost certainly lean on their ground game against the Texans, which is good and bad news for Gibson. Good because he should see plenty of opportunities, bad because the Texans rank fourth in aFPA to running backs in 2024. He’s a volume driven RB2 option.

NE RB Antonio Gibson - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Miami Dolphins/strong>

Antonio Gibson played on a season-high 22 snaps last week, and made the most of his chances, especially in the passing game. Gibson rushed for 12 yards, but his three receptions saw him rack up 67 yards through the air. Gibson finished as the RB27 in Half PPR formats with 9.4 points.

The matchup with Miami is not an imposing one, with the Dolphins ranking 28th in aFPA to running backs this season. But Gibson is still behind Rhamondre Stevenson in the backfield pecking order, so it's hard to project him as anything more than an RB4 this week.

NE RB Antonio Gibson - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. San Francisco 49ers

Antonio Gibson out-touched Rhamondre Stevenson 8-6 in Week 3, but his 29 rushing yards and eight receiving yards on three grabs only brought him 5.3 Half PPR points, good for RB45 for the week.

Gibson likely needs an injury to Stevenson to gain more opportunities in the backfield, and even if gamescript goes awry against the 49ers this week it's unlikely to lead to many more fantasy points than Gibson got last week. He's a RB4 and should only be started in the deepest, deepest leagues.

NE RB Antonio Gibson - 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

2024 was the final season in the frustrating Washington career of Antonio Gibson and was truly one to forget. Gibson started just two of his 16 games and set career lows with 65 rush attempts, 265 yards and a lone touchdown. He did, however, set new highs with 48 catches for 389 yards and two scores, just about salvaging his season from utter desolation. Still, he was not a player that fantasy managers were too happy to have on their roster, let alone starting lineup, as he finished as the RB48 in half-PPR formats.

Gibson signed with the Patriots this offseason and could split time with Rhamondre Stevenson on an offense that should look to establish the run, given their frankly unimpressive corps of pass catchers and uncertain quarterback situation. Still, it's hard to get too excited about Gibson, and anything more than RB4 numbers would be a pleasant surprise.
