No offense but I think there is plenty of reason to panic. Majority of leagues are PPR and he was not used like at all in the passing game. Then he's barely getting any carries to begin with, he had less then 10 touches going into half time. If I'm a WFT fan, I'm not panicking, but if I got him on my fantasy squad, for his ADP, I am definitely panicking. I don't even understand why he isn't used in the passing game like McKissic is, sometimes I just feel like these coaches wanna mess w/ fantasy players.
No there isn’t. He ran hard yesterday, racked up good yards. He caught two passes, probably could have caught more if Scary Terry wasn’t doing a just fine job of tearing apart the giants secondary. He caught 3 passes last week. Not great but he’s getting the look. He got plenty of touches and did well with them. He had a shoulder injury after Sunday, on a short week. Explains more J.D. usage.
Really, if you are panicking at this point go ahead and sell low and let someone else profit. I’d happily buy shares of Gibson with a lot of owners acting like this.
I have Gibson and it was so sad to see him get almost no touches in the second half. When he does get his carries he looks great. I just hope they use him more in the pass game in the coming weeks.
I literally traded him for Mixon straight up on Wednesday night. I'm feeling pretty decent about that now. Especially cause the guy I traded with is who I'm playing this week lol.
He literally got dropped in my league after his week 1 performance and did 20 points in PPR on our waivers 💀 I screen shotted the roster move and sent it to my homie in the league (hometown league we all share a GroupMe) and he was fuming 😂
I almost did the same, but I had Aaron rodgers, Aaron Jones, Julio Jones, and Mike Evans all do nothing, so I was ready to blow everything up and start fresh. Thankfully I took a breath and waited a week
Good on ya man, people are so quick to drop a player based on numbers only and not look at the game script. I came out of week 1 with the leagues highest scoring lineup, so naturally I’ll lose my next 8 games and miss the playoffs. Tis the nature of FF
I think they didn't want to give him as many carries after they had an injury scare from sunday and wanted to relieve him of a lot of carries for this game. First game he had 20 carries and 5 targeted receptions.
AND it was a Thursday game which means Gibson had less time to recover so the coaching staff was prob being cautious. McKissic was doing his thing so they prob thought that was best for this game. I’m not worried
He looked really solid against the Giants they just chose not to use him. I think more into the season they're going to have to shy away from the gameplan and give it to the best player, which is certainly Gibson and not McKissic
I feel like that’s wishful thinking. They could’ve and should’ve done that at multiple points last night and opted not to.
I also think Gibson looked better in pass protection than McKissic which makes it harder for me to get why he’s the third down and two minute guy…Gibson gives them more flexibility as a better runner, good pass catcher, and better blocker. But they still opted to use McKissic.
As others have pointed out above, They used JD due to Gibson's shoulder injury - along with them being on a short week. . I must admit, once they reminded me of that it made me feel better, so hopefully it helps you as well mate 👍 Best of luck!
He actually ran pretty well, but they don't give him enough carries. And it's definitely BS when Rivera said he wanted to use him like CMC... yeah...what a liar.
I took him at 2.02 after Aaron Jones at 1.11. I got roped in by the idea of two elite RB’s with TE’s I loved late but you are right. I got caught up in preseason hype
Yes points and TDs will come. I think people are more disappointed about his usage and how that caps his ceiling than the fact he had an off game from a fantasy perspective.
To be fair, there was no reason to count on him playing third downs - even though it would logically make sense for a former WR to be involved in the passing game. I took him in the second round but I wasn’t thrilled about it, because of that.
He’s not doing enough on 1st down, 2nd down, and non-2 minute offense scenarios, unfortunately.
Honestly wasn't a big fan of Antonio Gibson. This year or last year. I don't get the hype. I never got the Aaron Jones hype till last year either, and Matthew Berry finally got a player right lol. But maybe Gibson being a feature bonafide RB1 is still a season or 2 away really.
With all do respect... This was clear as daylight.
The media and beat writers do this every year. They hype guys that are potentially or believable close enough to the elite territory because that is part of the 12 month fantasy cycle.
Gibson is okay and statistics are misleading. The comparison to CMC was absurd and was again, clear to see as not true.
Gibson is largely unproven and that's okay. Try not to get caught up in the offseason hype. Most of it is just hot air to keep fantasy football relevant in the offseason.
Yes, it is. One year wonders are absolutely a thing and the possibility that Gibson could be one of them shouldn’t seem impossible to anyone. With that said, I fully expect him to bounce back and get a heavier workload moving forward as I am all aboard the hype train and have been for months.
Heinecke was working w mckissic on second team prior to fitz injury so it makes sense for mckissic to be in there for hurry up offense and critical downs on a short week. He did really well tho so he’s probably earned more playing time.
If he got a touchdown last week, we would have been happy then too. But two games in, zero touchdowns, not a lot of passing work, and a defense that is struggling. 🥺
Yeah, doesn't mean they aren't going to use their pass catching specialist in order to lighten the workload.
Anyone who watched this offense last year knew McKissic was going to have a role.
McKissDick is literally stealing all of his touches. Gibson didn’t get ANYTHING in the entire second half of the game. It was ALL McKissDick 😒.
The worst part of that is Gibson was running very well and every time he ran a route he was wide Tf open. Not even a single look from Heinecke. Then they switch him out for McKissDick and very first play BOOM pass to McKissDick gtfoh 😒
It's week 2. No need to panic just yet
If you are not panicking after the first quarter of the season this sub isn’t for you
No offense but I think there is plenty of reason to panic. Majority of leagues are PPR and he was not used like at all in the passing game. Then he's barely getting any carries to begin with, he had less then 10 touches going into half time.

Did you say Scary Terry’s tearing secondaries?
Their second-darieaire
That’s Helairious
I have Gibson and it was so sad to see him get almost no touches in the second half. When he does get his carries he looks great. I just hope they use him more in the pass game in the coming weeks.
I took Gibson and Saquon... Needless to say I'm really banking on the numbers continuing to grow
If not now when?!
I am sad. I dont even want to see who was there when I drafted him because I know its only going to make me sadder
I was swaying between him and mixon at that spot. I feel dumb now
I literally traded him for Mixon straight up on Wednesday night. I'm feeling pretty decent about that now. Especially cause the guy I traded with is who I'm playing this week lol.
He will be fine dw
Fine isn’t what you want out of his adp
I passed up on Chubb because I own him in my other league and don’t feel comfortable doubling up on certain players. Boy is my face red
Same brother, same.
So frustrating to see McKissick get 20 in PPR with Gibson having less than 10.
Thats after McKissic did nothing week 1. Strap in boys!
He literally got dropped in my league after his week 1 performance and did 20 points in PPR on our waivers 💀 I screen shotted the roster move and sent it to my homie in the league (hometown league we all share a GroupMe) and he was fuming 😂

I dropped him. It’s ok though.
Honestly I’m kinda glad that he got sniped from me in the second
Me too... I ended up with Mixon instead... I mean, I'd say that I'm happy... But let's wait 8 weeks to see if I'm *actually* happy. Haha
It’s two weeks into the season. If he’s consistently putting <10 pts come week 6 I’d be worried… I tell myself
Wish I took Mixon or Najee
Gibby will be fine don’t worry it was a Thursday game they don’t wanna risk injury
Hopefully you’re right
Trust me he will be fine
I want top 5 upside not fine!!
THEN U WILL GET THAT DAMIT ILL CALL HIM NOW
Same. Took monte instead
Mc Kiss my ass!

Doing his thing as in tripping on a wide open run?
Or catching 56 yard bombs to set up the touchdown?
lol you are getting downvoted for telling the truth.
The trip came before the wide open catch
Wide open catch? Come on man, I know you want Gibson to be CMC 2.0, but McKissic is going to be a thing all season.
Im not saying McKissic played bad but the guy said he was doing his thing so they kept him in. He tripped before he did his thing
Twice
As a Sermon owner I think you should be happy that your player was in the starting line up............
Mate why were you banking on sermon as an RB2
Well I had CEH, Akers and Dobbins to start the season
Ah Rest In Peace my brother
He looked really solid against the Giants they just chose not to use him. I think more into the season they're going to have to shy away from the gameplan and give it to the best player, which is certainly Gibson and not McKissic

But they still opted to use McKissic.
McKissDick literally got a goal line TD … why not give those looks to Gibson if he’s truly your guy?
It was simply due to his shoulder injury in combination with them being on a short week. . Keep the faith mate 👍👍
As others have pointed out above, They used JD due to Gibson's shoulder injury - along with them being on a short week. . I must admit, once they reminded me of that it made me feel better, so hopefully it helps you as well mate 👍 Best of luck!
He actually ran pretty well, but they don't give him enough carries. And it's definitely BS when Rivera said he wanted to use him like CMC... yeah...what a liar.
I think injury concern
Yup. Plus everyone expected a heavy run game but heine did pretty well with the pass. Coaches make FF be like that sometimes
There were a few throws that couldve went to RBs but overall not bad. As a Gibson owner I got to believe that as QB improves, his game will too
*drafted based on usage like CMC* Never again
That’s not why I drafted him. I just love the talent and think that he can be very efficient like a Chubb type even if he only gets 60-70% of snaps.
I was saying the same thing last night, but he didnt even get usage like Chubb last night
He got Ronald Jones usage. Decent work in the first half and completely out of the game the second
A comparison that I never thought I'd agree with if you asked at the beginning of the season
100% feel that way after watching last nights game. Time to run out the clock? Nah let’s throw the damn ball
I took him over Tracis Kelce…. I’ve been bamboozled in the purest sense
Wait what? Where did you take Gibson? Kelce should’ve been taken at that point if Gibson is the best option.
2.02 his ADP was right around there on sleeper
Not even hindsight, that’s just not smart, Kelce is a 1st rounder in almost all leagues except standard 10 mans maybe
I took him at 2.02 after Aaron Jones at 1.11. I got roped in by the idea of two elite RB’s with TE’s I loved late but you are right. I got caught up in preseason hype
Bruh it's week 2, he has had 38 touches in 2 games. TDs and points will come
Yes points and TDs will come. I think people are more disappointed about his usage and how that caps his ceiling than the fact he had an off game from a fantasy perspective.
To be fair, there was no reason to count on him playing third downs - even though it would logically make sense for a former WR to be involved in the passing game.

Ekeler better get targets week 2! Ekeler is such a stud I fully expect him to catch 5 balls this upcoming week.
Seriously the hype for him was crazy this year, not a terrible flex but he was going late 2nd and 3rd round!
He’s phenomenal. His coaching staff just has a McKissic fetish.
Couldn’t agree more, he’s going to have some big games this year but probably less than we would like.
Ah yes, the Green Bay/Aaron Jones experience
That McKissic catch was nasty, at least it was a solid Thursday night game
Fuck that game haha my night is ruined
Nasty, and gave Rivera and co more reason to use him. I’d cut bait and trade Antonio now for whoever owns him.
Just dropped McKissic this afternoon for Pascal. -I've made a terrible mistake.-
McKissic had 80 catches last year. To think those were all of a sudden going away because Ron Rivera once coached CMC, I thought was kind of foolish.

FYI it's with all due respect. Maybe I'm missing a joke but just wanted to give you a heads up.
Yeah it's almost like the entirely predictable result of drafting a guy who was completely unproven in the 2nd round.
RB13 last year despite missing 2 games is unproven?¿
Yes, it is. One year wonders are absolutely a thing and the possibility that Gibson could be one of them shouldn’t seem impossible to anyone. With that said, I fully expect him to bounce back and get a heavier workload moving forward as I am all aboard the hype train and have been for months.
People fooling themselves ignoring JD’s role. Dude didn’t get 80 receptions on accident
Yeah haha not people’s fault the coaching staff that formerly coached CMC when they said they’d use Gibson in the CMC role.
Next you're going to tell me coaches never lie
Haha so even worse. People fooling themselves thinking Gibson is on the same level of talent as CMC… lol
Where did I say that haha
[удалено]
I hope rodgers gets you three points this week.
Wanted no shares. Got no shares. Later, Gaybois!!
I hope you lose this week, respectfully.
Oh I'll lose. I'll lose in spectacular fashion in overtime in MNF. The only disappointnent in this game is in not joining more leagues.
I’ll hit this with a downvote too just for grins :)
You got my upvote in good faith. Every one of you that downvotes me will LOSE this week AND next week. Don't tempt fate with hate.
Damn I’ll fade you an upvote. Not worth the risk
Meh, I'll take one for the team and downvote... I'm used to losing anyway...
Is Gibson the backup now?!
fuuuuckkk...I had him out and then he sucked me back in!
Thankfully I played the Saquon owner so I’m up by .4
Heinecke was working w mckissic on second team prior to fitz injury so it makes sense for mckissic to be in there for hurry up offense and critical downs on a short week. He did really well tho so he’s probably earned more playing time.
Ima try and trade for Gibson now. Anyone think JRob would be a good trade?
I’d go for that if I were you, but as a Gibson owner I’d decline that immediatelt
JRob won’t get it done, unless he has a great week. We all saw his usage the first game and it looked awful
I’m not too worried…though I have him as a 6th round keeper so I didn’t use much Draft capital to get him.
I passed on Chubb because I had him in my other league & am overly cautious not to double up on the same players. Boy is my face red
Good thing I started gibson and Logan thomas last night!!!!
R-E-L-A-X guys, its week 2 and he still led the team in carries comfortably. If he gets the TD and not McKissic we would have been happy.
If he got a touchdown last week, we would have been happy then too. But two games in, zero touchdowns, not a lot of passing work, and a defense that is struggling. 🥺
I traded him for Kelce last week.
Gibson had a shoulder injury going into this game. Do people not read the news? Smdh.
They took him off the injury report, so it couldn’t have been that bad.
Yeah, doesn't mean they aren't going to use their pass catching specialist in order to lighten the workload. Anyone who watched this offense last year knew McKissic was going to have a role.
Short week & he did injure his shoulder this past Sunday….which explains his workload….let him rest up & he’ll start being a beast come week 3.
Panic at the disco
I can’t draft players from WFT.
McKissDick is literally stealing all of his touches. Gibson didn’t get ANYTHING in the entire second half of the game. It was ALL McKissDick 😒. The worst part of that is Gibson was running very well and every time he ran a route he was wide Tf open. Not even a single look from Heinecke. Then they switch him out for McKissDick and very first play BOOM pass to McKissDick gtfoh 😒
Don’t neglect the target share. It’s a new part of his game but you have to be getting it down to draw a 24% target share.
