New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson rushed 10 times for just 28 yards during Sunday's Weke 16 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He also caught two passes for eight yards through the air. Gibson saw his largest workload since Week 6, but it was all for naught as he mustered just 2.8 yards per carry and was not much of a factor in the passing game. Along the way, Gibson went 0-for-3 on third- and fourth-down conversions, failing to pick up short yardage and move the chains in critical spots. The 26-year-old may continue to earn more snaps after teammate Rhamondre Stevenson coughed up his third fumble of the season on Sunday, but Gibson is still not a dependable fantasy option in leagues with 14 teams or less.

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers, according to ESPN's Josh Weinfuss. Benson, a rookie, has consistently operated as the Cardinals' No. 2 running back behind James Conner, totaling 291 rushing yards, 59 receiving yards, and one touchdown this year. With Benson sidelined and Emari Demercado (back) on injured reserve, the Cardinals will call upon DeeJay Dallas to back up Conner in Week 16. For fantasy purposes, Conner, who was the overall RB1 last week, is the only Arizona running back worth rostering and starting on Sunday.
