Who Should I Start? Antonio Gibson or Emanuel Wilson

Monday, October 6, 10:53 PM

New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson (knee), who was quickly ruled out in the Sunday night win over the Buffalo Bills in Week 5, suffered a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport after Gibson had an MRI exam on Monday. It's a hit to New England's backfield the rest of the way. The 27-year-old will finish the 2025 campaign with 25 rushing attempts for 106 yards and one touchdown. He added two catches for six yards on three targets through the air. Gibson wasn't really a roster candidate in 12-team fantasy leagues, but he can now safely be dropped in deeper single-year formats. Terrell Jennings will likely be elevated from the practice squad to serve as the RB3 behind Rhamondre Stevenson and rookie TreVeyon Henderson. Gibson's injury gives Henderson a clearer path to an elevated backfield workload.

Across 14 games this season, Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson has recorded 441 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns on 103 touches. The 26-year-old is the primary RB2 in Green Bay behind star Packers running back Josh Jacobs. Wilson has logged just 27 yards from scrimmage on nine touches over the last three weeks, demonstrating his limited standalone fantasy value. However, Jacobs has been on the injury report for several weeks due to a lingering knee issue, and Wilson would be in a position to boost his production if Jacobs were to miss time. In the one game Jacobs has already missed this season, Wilson recorded 28 carries for 107 yards and two touchdowns against the Minnesota Vikings. In fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams where he remains available, Wilson could be a player worth targeting on the waiver wire in case Jacobs suffers an injury.
