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 (illness) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Barring any sort of setback, he should play in Saturday's Week 16 contest against the Washington Commanders without any limitations. Bigsby is coming off his best game of the season as he recorded a 39% snap share, 17 carries, and 57 rushing yards. All three of these marks set new season-highs. The 23-year-old has mostly been buried in a depth role this season. His role behind Saquon Barkley has left him with very few opportunities compared to last season, when he stole touches from Travis Etienne Jr. and finished the year as an RB3. Nevertheless, Bigsby took full advantage of additional opportunities last Sunday. With the Eagles blowing out the Raiders, Bigsby handled a high volume of rushing attempts, albeit with limited efficiency (3.4 YPC). He remains off the redraft radar with his usage expected to come back down to earth on Saturday in Week 16 against the Commanders.
