Who Should I Start? Antonio Gibson or Jerome Ford

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.

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford has struggled to carve out a role on his team's offense of late as he's handled just two carries and caught three passes over his past three games. Ford will look for a larger workload at home against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11. The Ravens have struggled against opposing running backs this season, allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to the position through nine games. That being said, Ford is unlikely to see enough work to take advantage of the favorable matchup as rookie Quinshon Judkins has dominated the backfield work for the team this season. Ford is not a fantasy option heading into Week 11.
