Antonio Gibson delivered in a big way for fantasy managers Week 3. He then scared them earlier this week when he missed practice Thursday. That DNP has led to questions about Gibson’s availability this weekend. So, is Gibson going to suit up Week 4 against the Falcons? Here’s the latest.

Antonio Gibson (shin) practices Friday, questionable for Week 4
Washington RB Antonio Gibson (shin) got in a limited practice on Friday and is officially questionable for Week 4 against the Falcons.
Fantasy Impact
Coach Ron Rivera is “pretty confident” that Gibson will play, but it’ll be important to see how he feels on Saturday. Gibson didn’t practice on Thursday due to the shin injury, but for now fantasy managers can plan on him playing. Perhaps he won’t see as big of a workload as he normally would, however.

What the experts are saying
Everyone was seemingly panicked about Antonio Gibson through the first two weeks, but he quieted people’s fears just a bit after ripping off a 73-yard highlight-reel touchdown reception in week three against Buffalo. The Bills kept Gibson in check on the ground, but he reminded people that he’s one of the most talented backs in the entire NFL with that long reception. Now in week four, Gibson should get right back to his efficient ways against a defense that is allowing 118.3 rushing yards per game. Gibson can be viewed as a low-end RB1/high-end RB2 yet again this week.
