Fantasy Football Player Notes

Not many backs can finish with seven carries for two yards and still finish as the RB13 on the week. Thankfully, Gibbs is one of those backs, saving his week in the receiving game. 13 targets, 10 receptions, 66 yards, and a score made up for being shut down on the ground. With their playoff chances on life-support, these next two games are must-wins. In these situations, Dan Campbell isn't scared to lean on his stars. This week, they take on the Vikings, who have been hovering around league average against fantasy RBs. It's not the best matchup, but expect Gibbs to get plenty of touches to close out the fantasy season.

Dealing with an injury, it will be important to monitor ARSB's health heading into your fantasy final. Even though he failed to come through last week, his nine targets are exactly what you want to see from your fantasy WR1. However, his 54 yards against the Steelers is not what we expected with that usage. This week, they face their division rivals in the Vikings, who have been a tough matchup for receivers all year. You can't ask for better usage, and if ARSB is playing, he needs to be in your lineups.

ARSB's knee injury will play a key role in Williams' outlook. If ARSB misses their game, Jamo is instantly the top target on this high-powered offense. With 65-plus yards and a total of in six of his last seven games, he has found fantasy consistency when it matters most. This week, they have a tough matchup against the Vikings, who have held opposing groups of receivers to under 100 yards per game since Week 10. If ARSB is available, Williams becomes a riskier option in a tough matchup. However, he has the athleticism to only need one play to make your fantasy week. He should be locked in as a low-end WR1, but it'll feel a lot safer if ARSB is out.
