BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~85 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~113
ANALYSIS: Antonio Gibson endured a disappointing fantasy football season last year. He finished as the RB31 in half-PPR formats with 899 total yards and five touchdowns. However, considering his previous accomplishments as the RB12 in his rookie year and RB10 in his sophomore year, his track record speaks for itself.
At his current RB35 price tag, Gibson is being drafted at his lowest potential. While Brian Robinson Jr. is expected to receive a significant number of carries in the Commanders' backfield, Gibson stands out as the more dynamic receiver and playmaker among the two young RBs.
Washington boasts a talented group of skilled players, albeit without much fanfare. If new offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy and quarterback Sam Howell can revitalize the offense, Gibson has the potential to be a valuable asset in early fantasy drafts. Anticipate the Commanders adopting a more pass-oriented approach under Bieniemy's guidance, drawing from his experience with the Kansas City Chiefs.
This change in offensive strategy bodes well for Gibson. While Robinson handles the less efficient carries between the tackles, Gibson has the opportunity to thrive. He can act as a high-volume pass-catching threat from the backfield capable of producing big plays.
It is worth mentioning that Gibson is most appealing in PPR formats. However, he remains an excellent target in all scoring systems for those adopting a zero-RB strategy. He should consistently provide Flex appeal in deep leagues while also possessing the potential for a low-end RB1 performance.
