Antonio Gibson Undergoes Foot Surgery
Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson underwent surgery Thursday to repair a fracture to his foot. Gibson has played with the injury for several weeks, but with the Commanders officially out of playoff contention, the team decided to go with the procedure. Gibson finishes the season with 546 rushing yards, 353 receiving yards, and five total touchdowns before being placed on Injured Reserve. If there's a new staff in town for the Commanders next season, he could see a role change. If Ron Rivera remains the head coach, he'll likely be stuck in a pure committee backfield with Brian Robinson.
Jan 6, 2023 • 6:19 PM | RotoBallerAntonio Gibson Placed On Injured Reserve
The Washington Commanders placed running back Antonio Gibson (foot, knee) on Injured Reserve on Thursday, so he will not finish out the regular season in Week 18 against the Dallas Cowboys. In corresponding moves, the team signed running back Jaret Patterson from the practice squad to the active roster and signed running back Reggie Bonnafon to the practice squad. Gibson's injuries aren't serious, so he should have a normal offseason. The 24-year-old took a back seat to rookie Brian Robinson Jr. for most of the year and finishes his third NFL season with a career-low 149 carries for 546 yards and three touchdowns while adding a career-high 46 catches (58 targets) for 353 yards and two more TDs in 15 games (six starts). Jonathan Williams will be Robinson's direct backup to close things out on Sunday.
Jan 5, 2023 • 5:08 PM | RotoBallerBrian Robinson Jr., Antonio Gibson Not At Practice
Washington Commanders running backs Brian Robinson Jr. (undisclosed) and Antonio Gibson (ankle, knee) were not seen at practice on Wednesday. It's unknown what Robinson is dealing with, but Gibson missed the Week 17 loss to the Cleveland Browns with ankle and knee ailments. Robinson played 52 percent of the offensive snaps last Sunday and had 24 carries for 87 yards, so he might just be getting a day of rest leading up to the season finale this weekend against the Dallas Cowboys. Still, this is a situation worth watching, as Jonathan Williams could be Washington's lead back to close out the year if the Commanders decide to rest both Robinson and Gibson after getting eliminated from postseason contention in Week 17.
Jan 4, 2023 • 5:35 PM | RotoBallerAntonio Gibson Ruled Out Against Browns
Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson (foot, knee) missed practice all week and was officially ruled out on Friday for the Week 17 contest against the Cleveland Browns on New Year's Day. The Commanders said earlier in the week that Gibson's injury wasn't considered serious, so perhaps he'll be able to make it back for the regular season finale in Week 18. With the 24-year-old sidelined this weekend, it will raise the ceiling and floor of rookie lead back Brian Robinson in an excellent matchup against Cleveland's suspect run defense. Jonathan Williams will also have an expanded role behind Robinson and could have some deep-league appeal in PPR scoring formats.
Dec 30, 2022 • 5:43 PM | RotoBallerAntonio Gibson Missing Another Practice Thursday
Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson (foot, knee) is missing another day of practice on Thursday. The Commanders don't seem to think Gibson's injury is very serious, but two missed practices to begin the weeks says otherwise, leaving his status for the Week 17 game against the Cleveland Browns very much in doubt. If the 24-year-old is unable to get cleared to play this weekend, Jonathan Williams would serve as the backup to rookie Brian Robinson. Gibson hasn't seen double-digit carries in a game since Week 11, and he played a season-low 29 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 16 loss to the San Francisco 49ers while dealing with his injuries. Robinson will have even more fantasy upside on Sunday if Gibson is held out.
Dec 29, 2022 • 5:15 PM | RotoBallerAntonio Gibson Not At Wednesday's Practice
Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson (knee/foot) didn't practice on Wednesday. The veteran running back has been dealing with a foot injury over the past few weeks but hasn't missed a game. However, head coach Ron Rivera revealed on Tuesday that Gibson suffered a sprained knee in Saturday's 37-20 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. While he didn't practice on Wednesday, Rivera doesn't seem considered about the running back's status for Sunday's critical matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Brian Robinson Jr. would have a featured workload against the Browns, with Jonathan Williams spelling him if Gibson can't play,
Dec 28, 2022 • 7:12 PM | RotoBallerAntonio Gibson Dealing With A Sprain
Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson is dealing with a "sprain," according to head coach Ron Rivera. However, Rivera wouldn't reveal the specific body part, and it sounds like a concerning injury for Gibson. With Gibson dealing with the injury in the Week 16 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, Jonathan Williams saw more work in the backfield behind rookie Brian Robinson, seeing five touches (three carries, two catches) for 42 scrimmage yards. Gibson played a season-low 29 percent of the offensive snaps while seeing five carries for 10 yards. He also caught two passes for 21 yards. We'll have a better idea of the 24-year-old's status when the team resumes practicing on Wednesday, but there's a good chance Gibson won't play in Week 17 against the Cleveland Browns.
Dec 27, 2022 • 7:01 PM | RotoBallerAntonio Gibson Limited In Practice Tuesday
Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson (foot) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice report. The 24-year-old has been dealing with the injury for several weeks, but it has not caused him to miss any time. The third-year back has been struggling as of late, losing work to Brian Robinson Jr., who has operated as the starter. Washington makes a conscious effort to run the ball, ranking eighth in rushing attempts, but with most of those going to the rookie, it's been difficult for Gibson to sustain fantasy value. Additionally, they'll travel to San Francisco this week, which is a brutal matchup for running backs, reducing the upside of either player.
Dec 21, 2022 • 1:34 PM | RotoBallerBrian Robinson Jr., Antonio Gibson Limited Again
Washington Commanders running backs Brian Robinson Jr. (quadriceps) and Antonio Gibson (foot) were both limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Robinson and Gibson are both a little banged up coming out of their bye week, but they should both be good to go in Week 15 against the New York Giants on Sunday Night Football. The 23-year-old Robinson remains Washington's primary back, with Gibson serving in more of a change-of-pace role. That should continue this week, putting Robinson on the RB2/3 borderline in fantasy. Gibson should be considered more of an RB3/flex for fantasy managers against a decent Giants defense.
Dec 15, 2022 • 7:45 PM | RotoBallerBrian Robinson, Antonio Gibson Both Limited Wednesday
Washington Commanders running backs Brian Robinson (quadriceps) and Antonio Gibson (foot) were both listed as limited participants in practice on Wednesday. The Commanders' backfield is a little banged up despite just coming off their bye in Week 14. Still, the fact that both Robinson and Gibson were practicing on Wednesday means they should be able to play in Week 15 against the New York Giants on Sunday night. Before the bye in Week 13 against the Giants, Robinson led the way with 21 carries for 96 yards while also catching both of his targets for 15 yards. Gibson saw nine carries for 39 yards and also caught two passes for 20 yards. Expect a similar touch distribution in the rematch with New York this Sunday night, making Robinson a low-end RB2/high-end RB3 and Gibson an RB3/flex in fantasy.
Dec 15, 2022 • 12:34 AM | RotoBallerAntonio Gibson To Play In Week 13
Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson (foot) is active for the Week 13 matchup against the New York Giants. The 24-year-old is expected to continue splitting up the workload with Brian Robinson in the backfield. It's worth noting that Robinson went for over 100 yards last week, while Gibson finished with 32 yards against the Atlanta Falcons. Possibly, this is a hot hand type of situation, but Robinson certainly seems like the better fantasy option between the two. Fantasy managers should consider Gibson a risky flex play for this upcoming matchup.
Dec 4, 2022 • 4:43 PM | RotoBallerAntonio Gibson Expected To Play Versus The Giants
Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson (foot) is expected to suit up for the NFC East showdown versus the Giants, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. While having Gibson on the field is certainly beneficial for the team, fantasy managers may not be as enthusiastic considering Brian Robinson should handle most of the work out of the backfield. Gibson finished with nine carries for 32 yards against the Falcons in Week 12, ceding snaps to Robinson, who had 105 yards off 18 touches along with a receiving touchdown. While Gibson could get limited action on Sunday, he's a risky flex option (at best) in deep fantasy formats.
Dec 4, 2022 • 6:50 AM | RotoBallerAntonio Gibson Listed As Questionable Against Giants
Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson (foot) is officially listed as questionable for Week 13 against the New York Giants. The good news is that Gibson returned to practice on Friday after missing Thursday's session, so he appears to be on the right side of questionable for this weekend. However, he could continue to be a distant second to rookie Brian Robinson in Washington's backfield against the G-Men if he's at less than 100 percent for Sunday's game. If Gibson is limited or out, Jonathan Williams would see more backup work behind Robinson. Gibson should be viewed as a more shaky RB3/flex in fantasy with slightly more appeal in point-per-reception leagues.
Dec 2, 2022 • 5:50 PM | RotoBallerAntonio Gibson Downgraded To DNP Thursday
Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson (foot) was listed as a DNP at practice on Thursday after he was limited on Wednesday. It remains to be seen if Gibson was just being rested or if this is an actual setback with his injury, but we should know more on Friday. Either way, fantasy managers should consider him questionable to play in Week 13 against the New York Giants. The 24-year-old had only 12 touches behind rookie Brian Robinson in last week's win over the Atlanta Falcons, so his stock was already trending down. If Gibson is unable to play on Sunday, Robinson's fantasy ceiling will go up dramatically and Jonathan Williams would see an increased role in the backfield as Robinson's backup.
Dec 1, 2022 • 7:09 PM | RotoBallerAntonio Gibson Limited With Foot Injury
Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. After high expectations surrounded Gibson heading into Week 12, he ultimately disappointed by falling into a secondary role behind rookie Brian Robinson. With this foot injury popping up early in the week, things are not off to a hot start for the 24-year-old, but it's still early. Even though he has this new ailment, the third-year back still practiced in a limited capacity. Monitor his status, but expect him to suit up for Sunday's game against the New York Giants.
