Patriots' Antonio Gibson: Scores first TD of season
Rotowire
Gibson carried the ball seven times for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Colts.
The fifth-year RB posted his best rushing yards total since Week 2, and Gibson capped his big performance with an 11-yard TD run in the fourth quarter that gave the Patriots a 24-17 lead. The trip to the end zone was the first of the season for the former Washington back -- his last touchdown came in Week 16 of 2023. He hasn't seen double-double digits touches while Rhamondre Stevenson has been healthy since Week 2, but Gibson's ability to turn small holes into big gains could lead to a bigger role in the offense on the other side of New England's Week 14 bye.
Patriots' Antonio Gibson: Six carries versus Miami
Rotowire
Gibson, who logged 30 of a possible 69 snaps on offense in Sunday's 34-15 loss to the Dolphins, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, carried six times for 31 yards and caught one of his two targets for 14 yards in the contest.
Meanwhile, starting running back Rhamondre Stevenson was on the field for 29 snaps Sunday, while carrying eight times for 13 yards and not catching either of his two targets. While we don't expect Gibson to overtake Stevenson in the Patriots' backfield pecking order any time soon, Gibson's workload this coming weekend against the Colts will be worth monitoring to see if the uptick in his RB snap share extends beyond Week 12, when Stevenson struggled to get going in a game in which Miami led by a 31-0 score by the end of the third quarter.
Gibson carried four times for 18 yards and caught his only target for two yards in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Rams.
Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, Gibson was on the field for 13 of a possible 76 snaps on offense, while Rhamondre Stevenson logged 58 snaps and 20 carries in the contest. As long as Stevenson remains available, neither Stevenson or JaMycal Hasty (five snaps, two carries) merit fantasy lineup consideration.
