Fantasy Football Player Notes

Gibson looked to have plenty of roadblocks to fantasy-relevance, but with both Derrius Guice and Adrian Peterson being released, his path is far more clear. He isn't going to be a workhorse back - he only had a handful of carries in college and is dangerous as a receiver. But he should see plenty of touches overall and be worthy of being a Flex play in most leagues.

Barber never found sustained success with the Bucs, and will now try his hand with the Washington. Washington has a below-average offense with a sub-par offensive line, but his competition for touches has decreased significantly without Adrian Peterson and Derrius Guice. He'll still be competing for touches with J.D. McKissic, Antonio Gibson, and Bryce Love, but there;s a decent chance he seems some early down work. Still, he's only worth drafting as a bench option.

Thomas had a big Week 1 against the Eagles, seeing plenty of targets and a high percentage of air yards. It may be a fluke, but given the dearth of reliable pass catching options for Washington, Thomas should be added in all tight-end premium leagues, at the very least. If he has another good game, he'll move up to borderline TE1 status.
