Antonio Gibson Ruled Out for Remainder of Week 5 with Knee Injury

Sunday, October 5, 9:50 PM

New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of his team's Week 5 matchup against the Buffalo Bills due to a knee injury. Gibson recorded six carries for 21 yards and one catch for five yards before getting injured. In his absence, Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson and veteran back Rhamondre Stevenson will likely split the backfield work. Stevenson fumbled for the third time this season in the first half against Buffalo, so Week 5 could be Henderson's best chance to stake his claim to the Patriots' backfield.

DJ Giddens Reclaims RB2 Role in Indianapolis

Saturday, October 4, 11:01 AM

Indianapolis Colts running back DJ Giddens will look to see a larger role in a Week 5 home matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Giddens has been quiet since a Week 1 win where he saw 12 carries. The Colts have leaned heavily on starter Jonathan Taylor since the season opener, which has cut into Giddens' workload. That being said, fellow backup running back Tyler Goodson (groin) has been ruled out for a Week 5 home matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, which will leave Giddens as the team's main backup running back behind Taylor. Giddens should not be in starting lineups in fantasy, but he remains a top handcuff option in case Taylor is forced to miss time at some point this season.
