Antonio Gibson Week 12 Outlook - Titans at Patriots

Antonio Gibson (RB - NE)

The Football Team has really ramped up Gibson's workload in the two weeks since coming off its Week 9 bye, giving him 43 combined carries against the Buccaneers and Panthers. Washington won both of those games, and positive game scripts certainly worked in Gibson's favor, but there's also a case to be made that Washington won those games because of Gibson's effectiveness. In those two games, he had 43-159-2 rushing and 2-14-0 receiving. Against a Seattle defense that's giving up 23.8 fantasy points per game to running backs, Gibson is a midrange RB2. He's also an intriguing DraftKings play at only $5,600. Gibson's recent usage spike has meant fewer targets for McKissic, who has 5-39-0 receiving on six targets the last two weeks, although McKissic did have a season-high 46 rushing yards vs. Carolina last week. McKissic is a low-end RB3 in half-point PPR.
