Patriots Release Antonio Gibson

Monday, February 23, 11:28 AM

The New England Patriots released running back Antonio Gibson (knee) on Monday, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports. Gibson had a lost season in 2025 with New England, suffering a season-ending torn ACL in Week 5. The 27-year-old finished with a career-low 25 carries for 106 yards and one touchdown in his five games last year in his second season with the Pats. He'll head to the open market this offseason, most likely searching for a depth role in the backfield. Gibson's lone 1,000-yard season in the NFL came in his second year in the league in 2021 with the Washington Commanders. Since his first two years in the league, Gibson has struggled to be productive, gaining a total of 1,455 yards on the ground and six rushing touchdowns on 359 carries over four seasons. Gibson also has experience as a return man on special teams, which will make him more attractive on the open market.

Does Blake Corum Have Standalone Flex Value?

Saturday, March 14, 4:48 PM

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum was PFF's third-highest graded running back over the final six weeks of the 2025 season, with only Derrick Henry topping his five rushing touchdowns over that span. With the Rams making a concerted effort to preserve Kyren Williams for an eventual playoff run, Corum saw his involvement rise by nearly four touches per game from the first half of the season to the second. With reigning MVP Matthew Stafford returning for one more season, and Los Angeles already pushing their chips in for another title run, Corum and Williams could be in line for even closer to a 50/50 regular-season workload split. At worst, Corum should be one of the most valuable fantasy handcuffs in 2026, though he could realistically carry standalone flex value into his third professional season.
