Fantasy Impact

Gibbs has been practicing partially with the wide receivers at camp this year, which indicates that we could see him in a bit of an expanded role in 2024. In fact, it is being reported that he could play ‘a ton’ in the slot this year, which would be amazing for his fantasy value, especially in PPR formats. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his usage in camp to see if this is a trend that continues closer to the start of the season.

We already know that he’s going to be an elite fantasy asset this year, but it’s encouraging to hear that he is adapting to the new offense well so far.

Since being drafted by Baltimore in 2020, Dobbins has played in only 24 games as his career has been plagued with injuries. He will hope to stay on the field in 2024 in his new role as part of the Chargers’ RB room.
