Who Should I Start? Antonio Gibson or Jacques Patrick

Monday, March 11, 3:08 PM

Free agent running back Antonio Gibson and the New England Patriots have agreed to a contract on Monday. The official details of the agreement have yet to be released, but the former Washington Commander is heading to New England. Gibson rushed for 265 yards and a touchdown while catching 48 of 59 targets for 389 yards and two touchdowns over 16 games for the Commanders in 2023. With Ezekiel Elliott set to become a free agent, Gibson will join Rhamondre Stevenson and is set to be an integral part of New England's backfield. The 25-year-old will handle passing situations and third-down duties while spelling Stevenson on early-downs. With the move to New England, Gibson's fantasy value improves slightly, but he is a better fantasy option in PPR formats, making him a borderline RB4 heading into fantasy drafts in 2024.

The New York Jets signed running back Jacques Patrick, wide receivers Malik Taylor and Lance McCutcheon, defensive linemen Stephen Jones and Marquiss Spencer, offensive lineman Vitaliy Gurman and Eze Obinna, cornerback Tae Hayes and kicker Austin Seibert to futures deals on Monday. Patrick was cut by the Tennessee Titans on Oct. 24 and signed with the Jets practice squad on Dec. 19. The 27-year-old has only played in two NFL games, back in 2021 with the San Francisco 49ers. Taylor got into two games for the Jets in 2023 and caught two passes for 13 yards. McCutcheon was cut by the Houston Texans in early October and latched onto the team's practice squad on Oct. 24. The 24-year-old didn't appear in a single game for New York and had zero catches on five targets in 10 games for the Los Angeles Rams in 2022.
