Emergence contributes to AP release Gibson's emergence during training camp played a role in Washington's decision to release Adrian Peterson on Friday, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Impact The third-round rookie already was ticketed for a role in the Week 1 gameplan, but it was Peterson who was widely viewed as the favorite to serve as the lead runner. It's now possible GIbson handles the job, though this report notes that Peyton Barber could also get carries, and the team still has J.D. McKissic for passing downs. Gibson is the one with three-down potential, even if it doesn't materialize right away.

FANTASY PLAYS: Workhorse runners best resource in fantasy

The key is to prioritize big-time wide receivers over running backs with questionable fantasy value
AUGUST 25, 2020 • Associated Press
Getting work with starters Gibson had a couple nice runs with the first-team offense at the beginning of Monday's practice, Kyle Stackpole of the official team website reports.
Impact Washington seems to be taking a mix-and-match approach with its running backs, splitting first-team reps between Gibson, Adrian Peterson, Bryce Love, J.D. McKissic and Peyton Barber. While Peterson remains the favorite for the Week 1 start, it's Gibson who offers the highest ceiling for fantasy value down the road, combining pass-catching skill with 4.39 speed in a 228-pound frame. Peterson and Barber are early down bruisers with minimal receiving ability, while McKissic is an undersized passing-down specialist. Gibson, and maybe Love, at least have the theoretical upside to earn playing time in a variety of situations. We'll continue to monitor the division of practice reps leading up to Week 1.

Could fill lead role eventually Gibson could eventually fill the role the Washington Football Team had in mind for Derrius Guice, who was released last week, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Impact With 4.39 speed in a 228-pound frame, Gibson certainly looks the part of an NFL lead back, but he essentially played just one season at Memphis, where he took most of his snaps as a wide receiver. While coach Ron Rivera made it clear he views the rookie as a running back first and foremost, the team has Gibson sitting in on meetings with both position groups. Even with Guice out of the picture, Gibson's initial role likely will entail some combination of passing-down backfield work, gadget plays and kick returns, rather than regular playing time as a ballcarrier. There should be room for growth throughout the season, as there's no clear dominant force in a Washington backfield that otherwise consists of Adrian Peterson, J.D. McKissic, Peyton Barber and Bryce Love (knee). The rookie third-round pick is the only one of the bunch with potential to combine power, speed and receiving ability. His transition to the NFL may be tricky, but Gibson's long-term ceiling is tantalizing.

Learning multiple positions Gibson has been sitting in on running back meetings, but he's also doing technical work as a wide receiver, Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic reports.
Impact Coach Ron Rivera said the rookie third-round pick will first be evaluated as a running back, in addition to potentially handling return work on special teams. However, the Washington Football Team has a greater need for talent at wide receiver, especially after Kelvin Harmon tore an ACL over the summer. It's also possible Gibson get his own unique role, as opposed to being a fill-in option at multiple positions. Running backs coach Randy Jordan mentioned Gibson learning the "F" receiver spot, which essentially would be the slot role in offensive coordinator Scott Turner's scheme, per Mark Bullock of The Athletic. Steven Sims and Trey Quinn are the other candidates for slot work, while the backfield contains Derrius Guice, Adrian Peterson, J.D. McKissic, Bryce Love and Peyton Barber.
