BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~55 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~68
ANALYSIS: Editor's Note: Since this post was published, Robinson sustained two gunshot wounds in an armed robbery attempt. Fortunately, he was released from the hospital on Monday. However, he will miss some time to begin the regular season, opening the door for Gibson to be the primary ball-carrier until Robinson has fully recovered.
Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson dealt with hip and toe injuries in 2021, yet he was able to play 16 games and ended the season as the RB10 in 0.5 PPR scoring. He rushed for 1,037 yards on 258 attempts and seven touchdowns, adding 42 catches for 294 yards and three scores over 16 games in 2022.
However, the 24-year-old's situation has drastically changed over the past nine months. At one point in the offseason, Gibson was on his way to a featured role in 2022. However, the Washington Commanders re-signed J.D. McKissic and spent a third-round pick on Brian Robinson, pushing Gibson into a potential running back by committee.
Robinson reportedly would handle the red zone and goal-line situations, leaving Gibson the early downs work. Unfortunately for Gibson, his role as the lead back is now in jeopardy. After fumbling in the team's first preseason game, Gibson has spent time in practice with the third-string and special teams units.
If Robinson continues to shine in the preseason, fantasy players would be wise to avoid Gibson at his current ADP of 38.3. RotoBaller is on board with avoiding Gibson at his current ADP and has the former third-round pick as 24th in the latest running back rankings.
