2024 Fantasy Outlook
Gibson is one of the NFL's most athletic running backs in terms of size/speed and also a good pass catcher, but in Washington he was pushed aside to make room for Brian Robinson despite Robinson offering nothing in particular besides bulk. Gibson also has his flaws, including a history of fumbling (four in 2023 and six in 2021) and questionable instincts/vision that testify to his history as a converted college wide receiver. The Patriots seemingly have major expectations, having signed Gibson to a three-year, $12 million contract that includes $5.3 million guaranteed. That makes him one of the highest-paid backup RBs in the league, though incumbent starter Rhamondre Stevenson is quite simply a more rugged and consistent runner. While the Patriots likely intend for Gibson to get most of his playing time on passing downs, his 220-pound frame and track record serving as a lead runner suggest he could end up quite busy if Stevenson misses time.

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.
ANALYSIS
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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
2020
Gibson probably isn't a natural running back as much as an exceptional athlete who happens to play running back. Washington held this against the 2020 third-round pick last season, handing the starting job to Brian Robinson despite the lesser results the rookie provided. New offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy might not place the same level of emphasis on aesthetic and 'looking like' a running back that since-fired Scott Turner did, but even if Bieniemy is more receptive to Gibson, the former Memphis product faces a new threat from sixth-round pick Chris Rodriguez. Unlike Robinson at Alabama, Rodriguez played early and raked as a high-volume, high-efficiency runner at Kentucky. Gibson is no slouch as a runner – he ran for 1,832 yards and 18 TDs at a clip of 4.3 YPC in 30 games his first two seasons – but he might need to do more of his damage as a passing-down and hurry-up back now. Bieniemy could have a Pacheco/McKinnon sort of specialization split in mind for the Washington backfield.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could become lead back
Brian Robinson exited Sunday's 45-15 loss to the Dolphins due to a hamstring injury, and GIbson's likely to see additional opportunities if Robinson misses more game action.
ANALYSIS
Gibson finished Sunday's loss with 14 touches for a team-high 72 scrimmage yards. Washington will have a Week 14 bye, but if Robinson's still unable to play after that point, Gibson would likely lead the team's backfield in Week 15 against the Rams, with Chris Rodriguez possibly picking up additional backfield touches as well.
