Antonio Gibson - Page 6 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Three carries Sunday Gibson, who was on the field for a season-low 10 snaps on offense in Sunday's 32-16 loss to the Jaguars, carried three times for four yards and caught his only target for nine yard...

Impact After working as the Patriots' lead back in Week 6 when Rhamondre Stevenson was sidelined by a foot injury, Gibson returned to a complementary role versus the Jaguars, with Stevenson (30 snaps, seven carries) back in action. Gibson briefly left Sunday's game in the first quarter after suffering an undisclosed injury, and perhaps that led to his limited usage and JaMycal Hasty's corresponding uptick in touches (20 snaps, two carries, five catches). Either way, as long as Stevenson is available, Gibson carries modest fantasy upside.

Bottled up in lead role Gibson rushed 13 times for 19 yards and caught three of four targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 41-21 loss to the Texans.

Impact Gibson got 13 of the 17 carries by Patriots running backs prior to the final drive in Rhamondre Stevenson's (foot) absence, but the Texans weren't scared at all of rookie quarterback Drake Maye's arm in Maye's first NFL start and focused on shutting down the Gibson-led running game. That approach limited Gibson to a pitiful 1.5 yards per carry and could serve as a blueprint for Jacksonville's defense in Week 7, though the 1-5 Jaguars are unlikely to execute nearly as well when they face the Patriots in London. If Stevenson sits again, Gibson would have a nice opportunity to bounce back as the lead back against a Jacksonville defense that's surrendering 29.7 points per game.

Set for more work with Stevenson out Gibson is in line for a larger workload Sunday against the Texans with Rhamondre Stevenson (foot) ruled out for the contest, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Impact Gibson thus should earn a second consecutive start, but he also won't have to worry about Stevenson taking some of the backfield reps this time around due to the latter's foot injury. Through five contests this season, Gibson has averaged 8.6 touches per game, so it's unclear how many more reps he may be able to handle in the Patriots offense. On the other hand, Sunday also will mark Drake Maye's first career start, meaning the game plan may be more ground-based to alleviate pressure on the rookie quarterback. In the end, Gibson is poised to handle a healthy portion of New England's RB snaps and may only have to contend with JaMycal Hasty and practice-squad members Kevin Harris and Terrell Jennings for touches.

Fills complementary role in start Gibson rushed six times for 52 yards and brought in his only target for four yards in the Patriots' 15-10 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. He also returned one kickoff for 24 yards.

Impact Gibson opened the game as the starter with Rhamondre Stevenson briefly demoted due to early-season fumbling issues. Howeve, by game's end, Stevenson had doubled up Gibson in carries and had seen quadruple the number of his teammate's targets as well. Nevertheless, Gibson performed admirably with the rushing opportunities he did see, recording the second-longest rush of the day in the process. Given Stevenson's strong performance Sunday, Gibson figures to remain in a complementary role when New England welcomes in the Texans for a Week 6 home battle.

Slated to draw Week 5 start Gibson, who has logged 29 carries through four games thus far compared to Rhamondre Stevenson's 65 carries in that span, is slated to draw the start at running back for the Patriot...

Impact Stevenson, who signed a four-year, $36 million extension this past offseason, has been operating as the team's lead back, but with four fumbles in as many contests out of the gate, coach Jerod Mayo has elected to turn to Gibson as the team's starter Sunday. That said, Mayo noted that Stevenson, who is averaging 4.1 yards per carry, will play versus Miami, but his ball security issues of late have opened the door for Gibson (5.3 yards per carry) to see added snaps, at least in Week 5. With that in mind, Gibson offers a fantasy lineup alternative for those currently in need of running back help due to bye week or injury issues.

Headed for Week 5 start Gibson is slated to draw the start at running back for the Patriots on Sunday against the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Rhamondre Stevenson, who signed a four-year, $36 million extension this past offseason, has been operating as the team's lead back, but with four fumbles on 74 touches through the first four weeks, head coach Jerod Mayo has elected to turn to Gibson as the team's starter Sunday. That said, Mayo noted that Stevenson, who is averaging 4.1 yards per carry on the season, will play versus Miami, but his ball-security issues of late have opened the door for Gibson (5.3 yards per carry on 29 attempts) to see added snaps, at least in Week 5. With that in mind, Gibson offers a fantasy lineup alternative for those currently in need of running back help due to bye weeks or injury issues.

In line to start versus Fins Gibson is in line to start at running back in the Patriots' Week 5 matchup with the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Head coach Jerod Mayo stated Friday that Rhamondre StevenHe son has officially lost his starting role for at least Week 5. The reason for this is due to his fumbling issues through four games. As a result, Gibson is presumably the next-man-up in New England's backfield. The veteran back has accumulated 155 yards on 29 carries, while hauling in seven receptions for 82 yards. While Stevenson is still expected to play a role in the offense as a depth option, Gibson should get an opportunity to shine versus Miami.

Impact Stevenson has started each of the Patriots' first four games, en route to rushing for 267 yards and two touchdowns on 65 carries, however he's fumbled four times in that span. Given Stevenson's recent ball-security issues, Gibson -- who has logged 29 carries for 155 yards thus far -- is a candidate to see added snaps, and possibly start this weekend, versus Miami. In such a scenario, Gibson represents a possible lineup option for those in need of Week 5 RB help.

Rips off big reception Gibson rushed six times for 12 yards and caught three of four targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to San Francisco.

Impact Gibson got some work late in Sunday's lopsided loss after starter Rhamondre Stevenson fumbled for the second time in as many weeks. The veteran backup made his mark on the contest with a 50-yard reception in the fourth quarter. While Gibson outperformed the starter on a per-touch basis, he still trailed Stevenson by nine combined touches on the day. The former Washington Commander has generated some deep-league appeal with a couple of standout performances, but a change in roles would be necessary for Gibson to become a weekly starter in fantasy.

Eight touches in Week 3 Gibson rushed five times for 29 yards and secured all three targets for eight yards in the Patriots' 24-3 loss to the Jets on Thursday night.

Impact Gibson logged one fewer carry than Rhamondre Stevenson but outgained him by six rushing yards. Gibson was also the only one of the two involved in the passing game, albeit to a modest degree. Gibson's downturn was notable considering he'd posted 96 rushing yards just four days earlier against Seattle, but the entire offensive environment for New England was depressed Thursday night. Gibson will look to bounce back in a Week 4 road battle against the 49ers on Sunday, Sept. 29.

Effective as rusher in Week 2 Gibson rushed the ball 11 times for 96 yards in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Seahawks. He added one reception on one target for seven yards.

Impact When Gibson landed with New England this offseason, it was expected that he would serve as the team's primary pass catcher out of the backfield. Through two games, he has only one reception, but he has made his mark as a rusher. On Sunday, his highlight reel play came midway through the fourth quarter when he evaded penetration in the backfield and broke free for a 45-yard run -- the Patriots' longest play from scrimmage on the day. Rhamondre Stevenson is still the clear lead back in New England, but Gibson has proven to be a key piece of the offense early on.
