Antonio Gibson Rocket Ship - Round 2

[prinefan]

Gibson is way better than many think.

He is averaging over 4.4 YPC and his work load is increasing.
He will most likely finish this year around 40 receptions, 1250 total yards and 9 TD's.

Next year will be in the 1500 plus yard range. Get use to this player excelling in a 3 down role.

On board since the beginning. He will be a stud. Not saying McCaffery, but he'll be a stud in his own right.

Gibson's best qualities are that he's big, fast, and can be a load for ALL FOOTBALL players to tackle in the open field.

NFL teams will often draft someone higher than normal due to their ability to contribute on special teams. He'll be mostly returning kickoffs and covering punts as a gunner. Hell, he doesn't even have any experience as a punt returner. Outside of the occasional wildcat or trick shift, I doubt that he lines up in the backfield all that much. Most of his touches will probably come from screens, reverses, and jet sweeps. Outside of a league that rewarded return yards or a bestball, I would have a hard time trusting this guy in my starting lineup.

*bolded for editing your post. Feel free to add any links to report he's playing special teams whatsoever. and yeah, Deebo Samuel + carries sounds pretty appealing for any starting lineup

Now that I am officially adopting him as my son I will add this list:
RBs that are 220+lbs, run a 4.44 40 or better, have day 2 draft capital + have a single college season with 25 or more receptions

Antonio Gibson
Jonathan Taylor
Saquon Barkley
Rashard Mendenhall
Ronnie Brown

In the Mixon thread-

How far off are A Gibson and mixon?

I could easily see a 1-1 deal being made if the contender has Mixon and isn't scared off by Gibson's dependence on TDs so far this year, and scary-low snap percentage.

Me personally, I would need a locked in top-15 pick on top of Gibson to sell Mixon. I just don't think Gibson would be a surefire start every week of the playoffs, so I would prefer to buy a cheap fill in like Gio (ideal), Gallman, or Ahmed

I used to get annoyed that his snap share was that of a 2 down back and he wasn't being given an opportunity to showcase his greatest strength, receiving. But, I'm now very happy that they're having Gibson focus on the skills he's probably weakest at- running the ball. I think it's safe to say he'll be good catching- by devoting his practice time, film study and game snaps on the weaker area, it can help him become a better, more well rounded, player in the future.

This is basically a developmental year for him.

What do we think his value is at right now?

Well, consider me dunked on. It looks like the Football Team is doing their best to try to turn him into a NFL RB. I wish them all the luck with that one.

I know TDs are volatile but its still nice to see him have such a nose for the endzone. I was not expecting this at all. He just scores all type of ways, up the middle with power, or on the edges. Its great to see, especially on an offense this bad. Mckissic is an annoyance but at least he hasnt been a TD vulture. Just a great rookie season that i dont think anyone really expected given his extremely small sample size.

[PTW32]

I'm not exactly sure where his value is but I just offered Arob for him and expect to be shot down.

I need a RB but I dont know that ill want to go any higher than that so I'll probably move on to other RBs

I think this is fair value, and i like Arob but as a Gibson owner i wouldnt do it. RBs are just too important.

Really depends on the format. In 3WR + 3Flex leagues the non-elite RBs are far less emphasized.

I'll raise my hand, I missed on this kid. He is adapting and performing better than I ever would have predicted. Good on him.

At least you admit it, got a guy in my league calling him JAG still because he missed on him. But this is also his strategy when he wants a guy so its good to know.

Go easy on the guy. He's doing you a favour by trying to take this obviously untalented future journeyman off your hands.

Props to this guy - you just earned yourself a fan

[joeday]

I sold him a week or two into the season for a 2021 1st after getting him in the early 3rd in a rookie draft. Great ROI but I definitely regret it. He’s not CMC but he’s not a JAG either.

Please tell my wife I can admit when I am wrong. Seriously, we all miss on guys, It's ok. I brag about my hits and own the misses
