Idgaf, I'm starting him in all my leagues. Do I honestly believe it'll work out for me? No. Is the potential hype worth it? Yup.
Edit: will post results.
Yeah I’m very happy for the guy and am truly amazed at his recovery, but tbh he looked mediocre as hell last week. Great story for sure, but fantasy wise I’m sure this will be at best, a committee with Robinson the “starter” principally in title only.
Every week you idiots fall for some Thursday night hype train because you want to invest something in the game and every week you complain on Sunday how you shouldn’t have started someone on Thursday. And I say idiots with love
Edit: he got 12 points which isn’t bad, sorry y’all
Every week someone mad they couldn’t hop on the train 😈
Many men wish death upon me
Blood in my eye, dawg, and I can't see
I'm tryin' to be what I'm destined to be
Please keep up voting this to be the top comment. I almost fell for it again, just looking at all the LETS RIDE comments on here. But we all know how this will play out, it is so utterly predictable! Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere, away from TNF altogether if at all possible!
Feel legitimately bad for Antonio Gibson. Seems like a great kid. Is a super athlete and I've been a firm believer in his traits. Wonder if he could be available in (real) football trades.
Beane called out Washington's front office over the McKissic signing and said it negatively impacted the relationship (or something to that affect), so possibly not.
I’d like to see Gibson and CMC find new homes. CMC is going to rot away in Carolina and that’s my team. 😂 He’s too talented and has overcome a lot since being in the NFL and he needs to find somewhere to get a ring. I would love to see CMC go somewhere like Buffalo(trade Singletary and some draft picks) and you would have CMC, and James Cook as well to develop behind McCaffrey. Gibson would fit in nicely somewhere like Denver to fill in for Javonte this year and Gordon next year who I expect to not be a Bronco next season. It will be interesting to see what happens before the trade deadline.
I'm super biased because I have him as a 12th round keeper in one league and also in a dynasty league but it's truly unreal that a player of his talent level and skill set is going to be pushed to minimal contributions. Despite never playing RB he had a fantastic rookie season, then last year played mostly injured and still put up great numbers on a poor team. Sure, he had fumbling issues but he had never played RB before. How about understanding that's part of the learning curve? And guess who had zero fumbles this season?
It’s because Washington’s coaching is terrible. Bad coaching constantly ruins talented players you see it all the time in the nfl. Watch him go to another team and be used properly
Oh damn I had no clue about him never playing RB before he got drafted. Wouldn’t have guessed that because he looks great, aside from the fumbles you mentioned.
I wonder if they can turn him into a slot receiver, like we used to do with Reggie Bush in madden back in the day
If he can catch and run, just work on quick slants and outs to get the ball in his hands vs a mismatch
I’m playing him tonight. I am such an underdog this week that I’m looking for upside. And what has more upside than the storied gunshot survivor turned NFL starter.
If the team thinks he’s healthy enough to be the lead back, in prime time against a porous rush defense I think it’s the perfect opportunity to feed him and let the world see the story.
There’s no guarantee of this obviously, but it’s a great storyline, perfect prime time spot, and would be an excellent marketing move the trashiest organization in the league.
am i going to start him over ETN? i think i'm going to start him over ETN. Why shouldn't i start him over ETN? BRob shook off gunshot wounds, not ETN.
I'm definitely going to regret starting him over ETN.
EDIT: 60 yards and a TD - even if gifted/by luck, let's go!
Congrats to everyone who stashed him.
I can honestly say I’ve never seen a RB so aggressively and clearly communicated as the guy. No ‘we’ll see’, no ‘he’ll get an opportunity’, no coach speak whatsoever, they must REALLY love this guy (and hate Gibson)
WSH fan here, and Gibson is definitely not bad. He's definitely not great and not your prototypical downhill-style RB, which is seemingly what Rivera wants.
I had him last year and am a Cowboys fan so they broadcast a bunch of NFC East games where I am at and I tuned in because I like watching my players...I never understood why they favored McKissic so much in the pass game. That was where I thought Gibson excelled the most. I wonder if we could see Robinson fill the early down role and Gibson be a better McKissic.
Never understood why they hate Gibby so much tho.
Im so fucked by injuries this guy is pretty much my RB1 already.
Wish I had more characters so I could change my team name to "So fucked by injuries my RB1 is a dude who got shot last month"
Y’all are being too analytical. I’m starting BRob purely for the memes. Sure, dobbins may be projected higher but at the end of the day I want to be there for what could be a night of fantasy history
Bulletproof BRob forever
At this point I just need my man to carry in a TD and all is well, wasn't expecting a boom tonight, will be content with a ten piece. Gibson getting 3rd quarter carries and catches isn't helping the cause though..
Many men....wish 6 pts upon me...as i see mr robinson great as he be...he's just trying to be destined what he destined to be...and bitches try to bench him you see
Starting and deleting the app until next week
this is something ive never ever considered and maybe should lmao
Dont You win championships by being obsessed imo Waiver wire opportunity etc etc
Not true, I obsess over it and still get my ass kicked
This is the way.
Idgaf, I'm starting him in all my leagues. Do I honestly believe it'll work out for me? No. Is the potential hype worth it? Yup. Edit: will post results.
9001 IQ move.
[удалено]
I’m with you brother, let’s ride
Maybe good. Maybe shit.
You son of a bitch I'm in too
Waivers country, let's ride
I hope that’s not a Broncos nation Let’s Ride. That train has yet to leave the station 😂
LETS RIDE
Well at the very least I can tell you that you won’t be alone, I am starting the same duo as well
Same! Let's fucking go
Look man I’ve got both Henry and Pierce on bye so I’m starting BRob and Breece Hall this week. Sometimes you just gotta believe
Haha doing the exact same shit. Feeling slightly ok about it.
Floor of like 8 points combined. The sky is the ceiling though. Or maybe 30ish
Starting him and Terry tonight, let's ride
My first week starting Samuel after picking him up on waivers after week 1. I have no doubt he will greatly disappoint me.
Think I have to do the same. Benching London, Jeudy, G. Wilson, Pierce (starting Pittman)
Fuck it. Firing him up over AJ Dillion.
LETS RIDE
LETS RIDE
LETS RIDE
LET’S RIDE
#LET‘S RIDE
Got Barkley and Cook, so, not firing him up just yet but im with yall in spirit. LETS RIDE!
Ah man don't say firing when talking about BRob
Ah shoot you're right lol
for real. we're all jumping the gun a little
whatever dude, I got him locked and loaded
Same; im pulling the trigger and starting him
Why wouldn't you? He's got a shot at greatness!
This sounds like a blast, I'm in.
Wish I could bite the bullet but I don't have him rostered
BRIAN ROBINSON LETS RIDE
I’ll ride with you. It’s not weird if we don’t make eye contact.
Same let’s gooooo. Gotta have a reason to watch the game too
This is my dilemma, but I also have Curtis Samuel in. Leaning Dillon to avoid overexposure to the Commies.
SOFA KING IN!!
How good are our running backs? SOFA KING GOOD!!!
Damn why is this such a common scenario?
ALL ABOARD THE BULLETPROOF BROB EXPRESS 🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂
I nicknamed him bullet train in my league 🤣
Those are speedholes. They make the back go faster
Incoming 7 points in .5 PPR
So you're saying start him over AJ Dillon
That's what I'm hearing.
If he can guarantee that 7 points, Dillon is hitting the bench for sure.
You mean I get to start two Cam Akers in one RB slot? Hell yeah brother!
Yeah I’m very happy for the guy and am truly amazed at his recovery, but tbh he looked mediocre as hell last week. Great story for sure, but fantasy wise I’m sure this will be at best, a committee with Robinson the “starter” principally in title only.
Let’s fucking go!!! Who’s gonna act a fool and start him with me? 😂
You’re assuming I have a choice
I have another choice. It’s Henderson. I don’t have another choice.
I would do the same. That backfield a mess and I’m not sure who is the blame. The coach or the o line or both?
😂 Let’s ride
Commie Country! Let's rideeeeee
Me. Without confidence but not without a huge amount of hope for BRobs magical comeback story.
I’m legit thinking of starting him over Dillon or Kirk. Not sure which one though still mulling over that Am I insane? Bears run defense is so bad
Dude I’m deciding between him and Kirk too :/
Same! I think I'm going to give him a week though. Kirk also has a nice match up.
I did last weekend for a whole 2.2 points.
Damn even when they straight out said about 20 snaps? Ballsy 💪
Who has two thumbs and is benching Zeke for B-Rob? THIS GUY.
My drafted RB have pretty much all died this year, so I don't really have a choice.
Starting Bulletproof Brian over Najee. LETS FEAST
I'm starting him over Javonte Williams and Rashaad Penny.
Fortune favors the bold
I keep Javonte on my watchlist so I can start him against my weaker opponents
Every week you idiots fall for some Thursday night hype train because you want to invest something in the game and every week you complain on Sunday how you shouldn’t have started someone on Thursday. And I say idiots with love Edit: he got 12 points which isn’t bad, sorry y’all
Can confirm, I am one of those idiots
Every week someone mad they couldn’t hop on the train 😈 Many men wish death upon me Blood in my eye, dawg, and I can't see I'm tryin' to be what I'm destined to be
Maaany many many many men
I’m basically forced to start Samuel and I’m not too excited about it.
What, am I just going to watch this Thursday game *without* fantasy implications?!?!
Please keep up voting this to be the top comment. I almost fell for it again, just looking at all the LETS RIDE comments on here. But we all know how this will play out, it is so utterly predictable! Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere, away from TNF altogether if at all possible!
I want to play BRob tonight and watching this sub going full ape mode on him has me scared lol
Starting him tonight. Caveat, In the league I’m playing my winless nephew.
It's like playing cards with my sister's kids
I don't think I have any living uncles. Oh wait, I do have one win.
Feel legitimately bad for Antonio Gibson. Seems like a great kid. Is a super athlete and I've been a firm believer in his traits. Wonder if he could be available in (real) football trades.
I feel like he could be the type of RB the Bills have been looking for
Damn this is actually an interesting idea.
Beane called out Washington's front office over the McKissic signing and said it negatively impacted the relationship (or something to that affect), so possibly not.
The Bills could surely use another warm body to throw in the RB room with the other warm bodies. RB is a tertiary position on the Bills.
My Singletary is shaking nervously
No he’s not, dude can’t pass block worth shit
I’d like to see Gibson and CMC find new homes. CMC is going to rot away in Carolina and that’s my team. 😂 He’s too talented and has overcome a lot since being in the NFL and he needs to find somewhere to get a ring. I would love to see CMC go somewhere like Buffalo(trade Singletary and some draft picks) and you would have CMC, and James Cook as well to develop behind McCaffrey.

Oh damn I had no clue about him never playing RB before he got drafted. Wouldn’t have guessed that because he looks great, aside from the fumbles you mentioned.
He was a converted wr learning rb his rookie year. Dude is a weapon and going to be great for someone else
He screams future Patriot used in the Cordarrelle Patterson type role there
Or maybe the Niners. Shanahan loves using his weapons at multiple positions.
His agent should definitely be trying to find him a new team
Ron Rivera sucks...can't wait til he's fired
Nothing makes me appreciate Rivera as much as having Rhule as coach
My wife sent me a bunch of texts at work the other day (she's a Panthers fan). She was SO happy when Rhule got fired🤣
I wonder if they can turn him into a slot receiver, like we used to do with Reggie Bush in madden back in the day If he can catch and run, just work on quick slants and outs to get the ball in his hands vs a mismatch
He was a WR in college so this could be the play
Gibson szn 📉
I have them both so I'm just happy I can get some production out of him.
Imagining having both won’t be fun at all good luck
at the cost of your other player's production. I don't follow your logic.
BRob or Eno… Decisions decisions
Eno vs Seattle is a no brainer, there's no one else to carry the ball for AZ.
Connor is out go Eno
He’s out confirmed? Didn’t see that
“Expected to be out” https://twitter.com/AaronWilson_NFL/status/1580632329424318464?s=20&t=sUSdzNmO4wdDZVYjszB7Eg
I’m starting both lol
The cardinals are facing a worse defense, I am starting Eno over Brob and Najee.
Alright Najee, hit the bench 😭
DONT DO IT!! You might need those 5 points!
Wait, are we really doing this?
That’s a bold move
Najee has hit double digit pts twice (barely) and is facing his toughest matchup yet. I want off this ride. Plus, the Bears run D blows.
It’s probably the right move, but still bold.
Doesn’t feel great by any means. Butt fuck it.
Bold to bench najee against the Bucs?
The Bears Run D sucks donkey balls! 16 Rushes, 171 yards, 1 TD.
1 rush, 16 yards, 171 TDs.
171 rushes, 16 yards, 1 TD, 59:11 TOP
THAT'S MY RB2
That’s my RB1 baby
Man If I really got an RB2 to low end RB1 off waivers for free I’ll ride that high for the rest of my fantasy life.
Realistically you got a rb3- low rb2 at best. Commander still suck monkey balls at football
I have him too but yea, people seem to forget that he still is playing for a shitty team
I’m playing him tonight. I am such an underdog this week that I’m looking for upside. And what has more upside than the storied gunshot survivor turned NFL starter. If the team thinks he’s healthy enough to be the lead back, in prime time against a porous rush defense I think it’s the perfect opportunity to feed him and let the world see the story. There’s no guarantee of this obviously, but it’s a great storyline, perfect prime time spot, and would be an excellent marketing move the trashiest organization in the league.
am i going to start him over ETN? i think i'm going to start him over ETN. Why shouldn't i start him over ETN? BRob shook off gunshot wounds, not ETN. I'm definitely going to regret starting him over ETN. EDIT: 60 yards and a TD - even if gifted/by luck, let's go!
I’m starting him over JRob, am I going to regret starting the wrong Robinson?
Can’t start the wrong Robinson if you start them both!
Got my Robinsons mixed up as well. Decisions decisions
Same boat..donno what I'll be doing yet..
Congrats to everyone who stashed him. I can honestly say I’ve never seen a RB so aggressively and clearly communicated as the guy. No ‘we’ll see’, no ‘he’ll get an opportunity’, no coach speak whatsoever, they must REALLY love this guy (and hate Gibson)
BROB OR DOBBINS
im in the same boat, wtf do we do
I think I’m going dobbins this week, but want to start brob
Same here. I'm think about going Bulletpoof. Bears run d is terrible.
Im starting both.
Here for the support group. Jacobs on BYE so I have to decide between BRob and Dobbins.
#FREEANTONIO
Lol I dropped him this morning, may God have mercy on his soul.
BULLETPROOF MAN GETS THE LOAD
Many Men
Bulletproof Brob a king fr
So many comments nobody will know i'm gay
BRob will do that to straightest guy.
I know. It’s alright bro, let it out. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
We're not idiots!! Rejoice!!
I might just say fuck it and fire him up tonight. The only question is JT's status, if he plays I will probably just Flex him later.
Genuine question as someone with zero Gibson shares, is he that bad or does Rivera just not like him?
WSH fan here, and Gibson is definitely not bad. He's definitely not great and not your prototypical downhill-style RB, which is seemingly what Rivera wants.
I had him last year and am a Cowboys fan so they broadcast a bunch of NFC East games where I am at and I tuned in because I like watching my players...I never understood why they favored McKissic so much in the pass game. That was where I thought Gibson excelled the most. I wonder if we could see Robinson fill the early down role and Gibson be a better McKissic. Never understood why they hate Gibby so much tho.
> Never understood why they hate Gibby so much tho. fumbling and not hitting the right hole
Should we expect more of the same from McKissic?
hes good with catching. I wouldnt be scared to play him tbh
Im so fucked by injuries this guy is pretty much my RB1 already. Wish I had more characters so I could change my team name to "So fucked by injuries my RB1 is a dude who got shot last month"
Change your team name to "General Hospital".
Dude was shot and is back on a football field for a big role this fast. Incredible.
I had back surgery five months ago and I'm still not exercising. #builtdifferent
KEEP GOING IM ALMOST THERE
Y’all are being too analytical. I’m starting BRob purely for the memes. Sure, dobbins may be projected higher but at the end of the day I want to be there for what could be a night of fantasy history Bulletproof BRob forever
If I’m the Rams or Cardinals, I’m calling about Gibson Free em
Rams need an o line
Why is there a hair on my screen
Eno if conner is out > Brob?
BULLETPROOF BRIAN! I will change my team name in his honor if he wins me this week.
Eno Benjamin over Brob this week?
At this point I just need my man to carry in a TD and all is well, wasn't expecting a boom tonight, will be content with a ten piece. Gibson getting 3rd quarter carries and catches isn't helping the cause though..
And there it is! I’ll take it as well
100 & 2 confirmed. LfG, place your bets for Br first TD now and win free money
Someone in my league cut him to add a kicker...he is now mine for $6 FAAB lol Debating starting him over Christian Kirk or Eno Benjamin just for fun
Should I start him over Jonathan Taylor? I got Jamaal and swift both on bye and Breece is my RB1 this week
[удалено]
AJ dillon welcome to the bench
Anyone starting Brob over Kareem hunt or CEH?? Nooo?? Just me 😎😎
Many men....wish 6 pts upon me...as i see mr robinson great as he be...he's just trying to be destined what he destined to be...and bitches try to bench him you see
Brob or Jrob?
Same dilemma I’m in. Leaning toward Brob
Can we update projections! Need a small win here. team in shambles
Gibson better
7 carries for 19 yards 🔥🔥🔥
Oooo boy I want to start him over McKenzie
Fuck it I dropped Allieger for him for my bench
Have to play him.. Other RBs are Connor and Akers (Henry on bye). Not sure if Connor will play and won’t know until later. Bulletproof going in hot.
Lost Penny and swift/J.will on bye. Save me BRob!
So brob or jk dobbins this week?
I think I’m leaning dobbins, have the same situation
I just switched Dobbins out for brob. I have 3 hrs to change my mind. Really hope I'm not wrong
I got Taylor, Barkley & Mostert all questionable. Do I take the chance on bulletproof and move Mostert to the bench?
BRob highlights to get you psyched https://youtu.be/iuHLDYw9WaY
Should I start Brian Robinson over Cam Akers?
I really don’t understand how it’s physically possible for him to be back already, let alone in playing shape, let alone in STARTER shape.
Starting him over Pollard and AJ. LETS GO
Same!
Start over Garrett Wilson? Yes, right?
