Who Should I Start? Antonio Gibson or Tank Bigsby

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.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby has settled in as the team's RB2 behind starter Saquon Barkley. However, that doesn't mean the 24-year-old former Jaguars RB should be rostered in 12-team fantasy leagues for the time being. Bigsby played only three offensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys and had one carry for eight yards. In his 10 games since joining the Eagles this year, Bigsby has only 18 carries for 164 yards in a backup role. Philly's offense has been sluggish, too, which hasn't helped Bigsby's cause for more work in a complementary role. Going into a Week 13 game against the Chicago Bears this Friday, the Eagles rank 21st in the league in rushing yards per game (110.5). Unless Barkley misses time with an injury, Bigsby can probably be left to the waiver wire in shallow fantasy formats.
