Shelton Gibson is making his Eagles debut against the Bears in Week 12. He's active over Marcus Johnson. (Zach Berman on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Gibson is a speedster who ran a sub-4.40 40-yard dash at his pro day in the summer, but he struggled mightily catching passes and running routes in training camp and has been inactive all season despite making the 53-man roster. He is active over Johnson, who is a reserve wide receiver who rotates into the game fairly infrequently. It could be that the Eagles are pleased with Gibson's progression and are interested in seeing if he can stretch defenses and open up the passing game for their other receivers, but it is more likely that he steps into Johnson's role this week.
