Patriots' Antonio Gibson: Ready to face Titans
Antonio Gibson (toe) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans.After being limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday, Gibson worked fully Friday, paving the way for the running back to face Tennessee on Sunday. In the New England Patriots' win over the Jets in Week 8, Gibson was on the field for 13 snaps on offense, en route to rushing five times for seven yards in the contest. With Rhamondre Stevenson -- who finished with 20 carries versus New York -- working in the lead role, Gibson's fantasy value is limited in his complementary role.

Patriots' Antonio Gibson: Limited by toe injury
Antonio Gibson was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to a toe injury.In this past Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets, Gibson logged 13 snaps on offense, while rushing five times for seven yards in the contest. As long as Rhamondre Stevenson -- who finished with 20 carries in the Week 8 win -- is available, Gibson's fantasy value is limited while he continues to handle a complementary role out of the backfield.

Patriots' Antonio Gibson: Five carries in backup role
Antonio Gibson rushed five times for six yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets.Gibson was used in a backup role while Rhamondre Stevenson rumbled for two touchdowns on 20 carries. Stevenson even got all three of the targets among New England's running backs. Even in a favorable matchup against the reeling Titans, Gibson will be tough to trust in Week 9 with a healthy Stevenson occupying a workhorse role.

Patriots' Antonio Gibson: Three carries Sunday
Antonio Gibson, who was on the field for a season-low 10 snaps on offense in Sunday's 32-16 loss to the Jaguars, carried three times for four yards and caught his only target for nine yards in the contest, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.After working as the New England Patriots' lead back Week 6 when Rhamondre Stevenson was sidelined by a foot injury, Gibson returned to a complementary role versus the Jaguars, with Stevenson (30 snaps, seven carries) back in action. Gibson briefly left Sunday's game in the first quarter after suffering an undisclosed injury, and perhaps that led to his limited usage and JaMycal Hasty's corresponding uptick in touches (20 snaps, two carries, five catches). Either way, as long as Stevenson is available, Gibson carries modest fantasy upside.

Patriots' Antonio Gibson: Bottled up in lead role
Antonio Gibson rushed 13 times for 19 yards and caught three of four targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 41-21 loss to the Texans.Gibson got 13 of the 17 carries by New England Patriots running backs prior to the final drive in Rhamondre Stevenson's (foot) absence, but the Texans weren't scared at all of rookie quarterback Drake Maye's arm in Maye's first NFL start and focused on shutting down the Gibson-led running game. That approach limited Gibson to a pitiful 1.5 yards per carry and could serve as a blueprint for Jacksonville's defense in Week 7, though the 1-5 Jaguars are unlikely to execute nearly as well when they face the Patriots in London. If Stevenson sits again, Gibson would have a nice opportunity to bounce back as the lead back against a Jacksonville defense that's surrendering 29.7 points per game.

Patriots' Antonio Gibson: Set for more work with Stevenson out
Antonio Gibson is in line for a larger workload Sunday against the Texans with Rhamondre Stevenson (foot) ruled out for the contest, Evan Lazar of the New England Patriots' official site reports.Gibson thus should earn a second consecutive start, but he also won't have to worry about Stevenson taking some of the backfield reps this time around due to the latter's foot injury. Through five contests this season, Gibson has averaged 8.6 touches per game, so it's unclear how many more reps he may be able to handle in the Patriots offense. On the other hand, Sunday also will mark Drake Maye's first career start, meaning the game plan may be more ground-based to alleviate pressure on the rookie quarterback. In the end, Gibson is poised to handle a healthy portion of New England's RB snaps and may have to contend with only JaMycal Hasty and practice-squad members Kevin Harris and Terrell Jennings for touches.

Patriots' Antonio Gibson: Fills complementary role in start
Antonio Gibson rushed six times for 52 yards and brought in his only target for four yards in the New England Patriots' 15-10 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. He also returned one kickoff for 24 yards.Gibson opened the game as the starter with Rhamondre Stevenson briefly demoted due to early-season fumbling issues. However, by game's end, Stevenson had doubled up Gibson in carries and had seen quadruple the number of his teammate's targets as well. Nevertheless, Gibson performed admirably with the rushing opportunities he did see, recording the second-longest run of the day in the process. Given Stevenson's strong performance Sunday, Gibson figures to remain in a complementary role when New England welcomes in the Texans for a Week 6 home battle.

Patriots' Antonio Gibson: Headed for Week 5 start
Antonio Gibson is slated to draw the start at running back for the New England Patriots on Sunday against the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.Rhamondre Stevenson, who signed a four-year, $36 million extension this past offseason, has been operating as the team's lead back, but with four fumbles on 74 touches through the first four weeks, head coach Jerod Mayo has elected to turn to Gibson as the team's starter Sunday. That said, Mayo noted that Stevenson, who is averaging 4.1 yards per carry on the season, will play versus Miami, but his ball-security issues of late have opened the door for Gibson (5.3 yards per carry on 29 attempts) to see added snaps, at least in Week 5. With that in mind, Gibson offers a fantasy lineup alternative for those currently in need of running back help due to bye weeks or injury issues.
