Antonio Gibson Week 12 Outlook - Patriots at Vikings

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Nov 24th 2022, 1:05pm EST

Last week Gibson assumed the lead role with his highest snap share of the season (68%). He finished Week 11 with 21 touches and 93 total yards. Gibson is the RB23 in fantasy points per game and has finished as a top 24 back in five of his last six games. Gibson is a volume-based RB2. His efficiency has been putrid as he ranks outside the top 50 running backs in yards after contact per attempt, breakaway rate, and PFF elusive rating (minimum 25 carries). Atlanta is a middling matchup for running backs that has limited big plays. Since Week 6, they are 18th in rushing yards per game, 16th in EPA per rush and sixth in explosive run rate allowed. Gibson's consistent pass-game role helps his ceiling and floor weekly. He's seen at least three targets in every game this season except for one.
