Who Should I Start? Antonio Gibson or Isaac Guerendo

New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson returned to practice on Wednesday, according to Brian Hines of SBNation. Gibson was dealing with an undisclosed issue, but everything appears to be all good with him health-wise. The 2020 third-round pick had a solid first season in New England in 2024, averaging 4.5 yards per carry and 9 yards per reception. With the addition of 2025 second-round pick TreVeyon Henderson, along with the presence of Rhamondre Stevenson, Gibson will likely be reduced to a backup role behind them.

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo (shoulder) played at less than 100 percent during Saturday's preseason contest. Guerendo started the game, but re-aggravated his shoulder injury in the first quarter. Luckily, Guerendo was able to return to the game after getting looked at on the sideline. At the moment, all signs point to Guerendo being available for the season opener. However, his fantasy value is going to take a serious hit with Brian Robinson Jr. taking over as the RB2 in San Francisco. Guerendo probably won't see significant snaps unless someone gets hurt in the backfield.
