Antonio Gibson Playing On Sunday
3 years agoWashington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (shin) is expected to play through his injury against the Saints on Sunday. He had been listed as questionable heading into this weekend. The 23-year-old reportedly suffered a stress fracture but is not in severe pain, which is why he has been able to play through the injury this season. He has racked up 360 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns but has not been able to serve in an every-down back role due to the nagging presence of receiving back J.D. McKissic. The latter has seen the field for at least 36 percent of snaps in every game this year, totaling 198 scrimmage yards and a pair of scores. Gibson is a mid-range RB2 this week while McKissic falls into the high-end RB3 range in PPR leagues.
