Who Should I Start? Donta Foreman or Antonio Gibson

Thursday, August 29, 1:02 PM

The Cleveland Brown re-signed running back D'Onta Foreman to their 53-man roster on Thursday after releasing former Pro Bowl quarterback Tyler Huntley, according to sources. Foreman was initially cut on Tuesday when they trimmed their roster down, but he'll now rejoin the team as RB depth behind Jerome Ford and Pierre Strong Jr. (ribs) to begin the year with both Nick Chubb (knee) and Nyheim Hines (knee) starting the year on the Physically Unable to Perform list. Expect Foreman and Strong work in tandem in a change-of-pace role behind Ford for at least the first four games of the 2024 season. The 28-year-old Foreman isn't going to see enough volume in Cleveland's backfield unless Ford also misses time due to injury early on, so fantasy managers in most leagues can avoid him for now. In his only year with the Chicago Bears in 2023, Foreman had 109 carries for 425 yards (3.9 yards per tote) and four TDs.

New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson rushed seven times for 18 yards during Sunday's Week 1 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He did not command a target in the passing game. Unsurprisingly, Gibson played behind Rhamondre Stevenson and was far less efficient than the workhorse back. What's peculiar, though, is that Gibson didn't get any looks in the passing game; he averaged three catches per game over his final two seasons with the Washington Commanders. Gibson's next chance to make an impact will come in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks. For now, he can be benched in most 12-team fantasy leagues.
