I really wanted Gibson in my draft this year but the guy was going in like the 9th round in the draft I sat in on as well as my actual draft.

Got Gibson for $1 or $2 in my auction league.

ETA: Same for Thompson since it was prior to LF7 being cut.

I’m not so sure that Bryce Love isn’t the guy. He was a great talent in college but took a hit in the draft due to injury his senior year. Was a 2000 yard plus rusher his junior year. Rivera said he is a 3 down back. Gibson could possible play receiver. It will be interesting to see how this goes down. I just snagged Love in free agency.

I would prefer to have Love in this backfield

In the last week there were talks he wouldn't even make the team, and reports two days ago he wouldn't even get touches. I don't see Love being the guy. I looked real hard because I thought he could be a great late round sleeper, but lots of negative reports.

Yeah everything that I've seen and heard is Love is running almost exclusively with the 2's.

Most everything I've seen is Peterson and Gibson have been splitting reps with the 1's. I haven't heard anything about Love.

I've been following Gibson closely. He's been one of my major late (now mid) round targets.

I think Love will be more in play as the year rolls on

They still have Peyton Barber and Mckissic too. Rivera and Turner has talked up both. Buckle up

I think Gibson will be on the field with another RB at times too. There’s a chance that’s he’s actually the 2nd best pass catcher on the team. He’s probably 3rd, at worst.

As a card-carrying member of Antonio Gibson hive, he ran about two concepts as a true RB at Memphis. Tough to imagine him receiving the lion’s share of carries at any stage in the season.


Interesting tidbit
