Antonio Gibson

Week 17 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

UPDATE: Gibson has been placed on the team's COVID/Reserve list so he's out this week. Jaret Patterson should get the bulk of the touches in Gibson's absence.

Antonio Gibson was active last week after entering the matchup with a questionable tag, but he didn't end up playing a lot as the game got out of hand fast. Thankfully for fantasy owners, Gibson was able to finish with 58 scrimmage yards and a touchdown before exiting. He's questionable again heading into Week 17 as he deals with an apparently new hip injury (he was previously dealing with a toe injury). He was limited Wednesday before being downgraded Thursday with a DNP. He's been injured all year, so we'd expect him to eventually be active Sunday, but his health will be worth monitoring throughout the week. If he is active, he gets a favorable matchup vs. the Eagles who have given up the 10th-most average fantasy points to running backs. Gibson finished with 65 scrimmage yards and a touchdown when he played the Eagles just a few weeks ago, including a six-reception performance. Assuming he's healthy enough to play, Gibson will be a solid RB2 play in Week 17.
