Thoughts on him coming back soon? Is he just gonna be RBBC when he gets back with Gibson or could you seeing him taking over early downs with Gibson moving into 3rd down work?

Interested to see what happens because I have B.Robinson. He was named the starter a couple of days before he got shot. Gibson has been playing well so it will be interesting to see what they do with him. Obviously I hope he’s the guy.

I have Robinson stashed in a couple of leagues and tempted to pick him up this week in the league I’m starting Gibson as my RB2

I don’t care what his average is. His fantasy numbers have been decent.

I'm guessing his coaches care more about the YPC than your fantasy team.

Don't forget about J.D. He's still going to get a lot of the 3rd downs.

I have him stashed on my IR. It will take him a few weeks, but he will eventually be the RB1 in Washington

Gibson is getting more targets than J.D.

The way they talked preseason, Robinson was going to be THE back to have.

Overall, yes. However, the point was that J.D. gets a lot of 3rd down work, where he leads Gibson 4-1 in targets. He also had another target on a play that was nullified by a penalty that would have made it 5-1.

Doesn't really change Robinson's value. I was just correcting the statement that Robinson would be primary and Gibson would be the 3rd down back.

I get the hype and is good to have him, but im not convinced gibson will be overtaken as long as he doesnt fumble

So even though he’ll get some snaps in, i doubt he’s a significant contributor this year. Next year is his year

Gibson is a 3 year vet that knows the offense and has produced when given the chance. Robinson is a rookie coming off of gunshot injury. I don't see this as anything more than a 50/50 timeshare for the two of them this season

And J.D. McKissic taking enough snaps and receptions to make all 3 of them RB3 or lower.

I think Robinson should have a decent role once he’s 100%. But Gibson isn’t going anywhere. I feel like Robinson will get more red zone / goaline work later in the season when he’s healthy
