Who Should I Start? Antonio Gibson or Jaylen Wright

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.

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright has hardly gotten any playing time this season, but with Ollie Gordon II (ankle) questionable for Week 10, it could be time for Wright to finally re-enter the rotation. Wright didn't have any carries or catches all season until Week 8, when he had nine carries for 28 yards and a reception for no receiving yards against the Falcons. Last Thursday in Week 9, he was back out of the rotation as a healthy inactive against the Ravens. Last year, the fourth-rounder had 249 yards on his 68 carries, but this year, he hasn't been able to crack the rotation. If Gordon is out or limited, he could get a few carries against Buffalo, but he's not much of a fantasy option at this point, since he's still just the RB78 in RotoBaller's Week 10 rankings.
